Your phone can make a great controller for music, movies and TV in the home. Maybe you want to send music from your phone or an app like Spotify to your speaker system.

Bluetooth speakers are a dime a dozen these days, but Chinese brand Muzen Audio has added something extra to help its OTR speaker stand out: Radio. The Muzen OTR (or “On The Road”) series comes in a retro-inspired wood or metal finish with tiny analog gold dials. And unlike many other speakers, it can pick up radio broadcasts. The throwback …

MWC 2019 is (mostly) about phones, so it makes sense that the show also has plenty of phone accessories. Cases, headsets and Bluetooth speakers are typical fare, but there’s more to see around Barcelona. Take the Lexon Oblio, which I found at a press event the night the show opened.

Read More »Two Lenovo IdeaPad laptop deals you won’t want to miss
At the risk of repeating myself, the single most important feature to look for in any new laptop is a solid-state drive. Sure, you’ll likely end up with a higher price and less overall storage space than you’d get from a system with a mechanical drive, but trust me when I say it’s worth the trade-off. Why? Performance. SSDs run …

I’m no audiophile, which is why you’ll often hear me say that a certain Bluetooth speaker or pair of headphones sounds “good enough.” But I get that for some folks, good enough, well, isn’t. Indeed, if you crave premium sound and don’t mind paying a premium for it, today’s deal might appeal. For a limited time, the Skullcandy Push Truly Wireless …
