Here we go again another Bluetooth speaker, however this time in the shape of a giant Panadol. It may not fill an entertainment area with hours of thumping, room filling music but as a personal entertainment companion it ticks a couple of pretty cool...

In the $150 range, plenty of speakers employ DSP to limit deep bass dynamics (and some other frequency ranges, too) that tend to cause distortion. But the Life Jacket 3 tamps down the dynamics too often, unnecessarily—it's hard to get past this, as it...

The Hercules WAE Outdoor Rush is a pretty decent speaker with crisp, clean sound, FM Radio functionality, good battery life, and its IP67 water and dust resistant ratings.

If you're fed up with weedy audio from your flatscreen TV you might want to give the Panasonic SC-HTB520 soundbar a whirl.

The SpeakerCraft CS3 is a handsome, excellent-sounding sound bar that's well worth its lofty price.

While the H.ear Go is a decent speaker, nothing about it would compel me to spend $200 when there are so many superior options available, in terms of both audio performance and operation. All those extra features become more or less pointless when a...

The Klipsch Reference Theater Pack offers impressive sound for such a tiny footprint, but lacks cinematic power compared to bigger-box speakers.

This upmarket TV soundbase brings classy design, polished sonics and slick music streaming to the table, but those with big living rooms need not apply.

A wireless remote control is also included with the ZiiSound T6. In addition to Power and Source buttons, it has playback controls, but they didn't seem to work well with iTunes or my Bluetooth-connected iPod touch. As disappointing as that is, it...

Conclusion The Playbulb Rainbow is a good color smart bulb for the price. It casts a good amount of light and it can phase through the colors of the rainbow in a pleasant, soothing manner. It doesn't require a hub and though the app is sometimes a...

The Polk Omni S2 is a well-priced, versatile Play-Fi speaker with decent sound quality, but Sonos' shadow looms large.

The Sharp HT-SB60’s prowess for detail, wide stereo image, and sheer power brings a lot to the table when it comes to movies. But the severity of the metallic treble created a constant battle between dulling its raw edge, and extracting the finer...

This stylish speaker looks great and has a pleasing sound despite its lackluster bass reproduction.

The Marley Chant Mini is, for the price, a fairly decent speaker, thanks in part to the booming bass of the Chant Mini that makes up for the non-existent high-end - especially if you’re into music with heavy bass lines (Drum and Bass, Dubstep, etc)....

Performance and Conclusions A transient peak, in audio, is when a brief moment of a song is louder than the others — think of a snare drum hitting hard in an otherwise quiet section. With pop music, we don't hear this much because most music is...

The Vizio SB3820-C6 is acceptable for mixed use. It lacks in the bass range, which impacts sound effects in action movies and music genres like EDM. Aside from the bass, it has a fairly neutral sound profile that's well-suited for vocals and dialogue....
