TV manufacturers really brought it to you at full volume at this year’s CES, and CNET was there to capture it all! Major announcements from LG, Hisense, and Samsung had viewers on the edge of their seats. LG made sure it wowed us with the world’s first 65-inch 4K OLED rollable TV. This fancy TV …

For anyone looking to take the next step beyond a sound bar, a receiver is usually the first place people go. However, the NAD D 3020 digital amplifier made a good case for keeping things simple. Two-channel only, and around the same size as a hardback book, we loved it, calling it “the best AV receiver alternative.” After three years, …

I love miniature gaming PCs, and Intel may have just trumped them all here at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. This is the Intel Hades Canyon NUC, a VR-ready gaming rig that’s just 1.2 liters in volume. It’s small enough to fit into a messenger bag, or even a very large purse — and yet it’s got enough power to …

On display in a glass case at Beyerdynamic’s booth here at CES 2018, is the company’s Amiron Wireless, a new wireless headphone that’s among the best Bluetooth headphones yet. Scheduled to ship this spring, the around-the-ear Amiron Wireless doesn’t have a price yet, but it’s expected to cost more than $500 and less than $1,000, according to Beyerdynamic reps I …

Apple Watch screens aren’t as scratch-resistant as they probably should be, which is why a lot of people are interested in buying screen protectors for them. The problem is there aren’t a whole lot of good ones out there that seamlessly blend into the Watch, preserving its sleek aesthetic. Thanks to its curved black border, Belkin’s Screenforce Ultracurve proectors are …

Anyone with a phone invariably has accessories — battery packs and wireless headphones, to start. And your average family kitchen has become a charging nexus, with everyone fighting over those one or two free outlets. But the default design for most chargers is still just a single USB-A port. It just doesn’t make sense. That’s where iOttie’s newest chargers are …

This would have been the perfect speaker for Kevin McCallister in “Home Alone.” The Kevin (yes, the name is an excellent ’90s throwback) is a clever little speaker designed to ward off burglars and nosey neighbours. It simulates the lights and noise of someone being at home — whether that’s the flickering blue light and noise of an action movie playing …

You’ve probably never heard of Oska Wellness, but it’s a startup that makes the Oska Pulse ($399), a Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) device that’s designed to help alleviate chronic muscle pain by increasing blood flow to impacted areas of your body. Now the device is getting an app, Oska Pulse Active, that tracks your pain relief progress. The app will also …

While competitors have offered Alexa voice assistants with their own proprietary microphones, Polk has announced the first sound bar at CES 2018 with what is essentially an Echo Dot built into it: the Command Bar.  The Command Bar integrates Amazon’s own far-field microphones and controls into the speaker and you can use either to control your smart home as a fully-fledged …

Sony is no stranger to expensive ultra-short-throw projectors, but its latest example, the LSPX-A1, strives to be different. It’s designed to look like a stylish credenza or side table. The top is artificial marble, the frame is finished in half-mirror aluminum and there’s a wooden shelf below. Turned off, it would blend into a modernist living room seamlessly. Now playing: …
