Compared to the first version of the Rockster Air, the Rockster Air 2 is now a little more manageable. The design is more reminiscent of classic, active PA speakers and thanks to the new carrying handles, the speaker is easy to transport despite its...

The Samsung HW-Q600C is good for mixed usage. This 3.1.2 soundbar has a discrete center channel to improve vocal quality in movies and TV shows. Its bass-heavy sound also brings a little extra punch to music, and there are many customization tools on...
