Apple Airpods Max Review Headphones At A Hefty Price

Apple AirPods Max are the tech giant’s first true foray into the premium (i.e expensive) headphones space. The in-ear AirPods are definitely premium earbuds in their own right, but if you’re serious about higher-quality audio, then over-ear headphones are the tool for the job. There were years of speculation about what Apple’s over-ear Bluetooth headphones would look like, and when the AirPods Max came out in late 2020, it was a little surprising....

Apple Watch Camera Begs The Question Why

The $299 Wristcam is a bulky-looking wristband that features an 8-megapixel, outward-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing selfie camera. An earlier version of the camera was plagued by years of development delays and never made it to shipping. Now that a camera for your Watch is finally here, some observers are intrigued but underwhelmed. Mark Vena, a senior analyst at the tech advisory firm Moor Insights & Strategy, eagerly ordered a CMRA (the original name of the product, now called Wristcam) when it was first announced over three years ago, but never received one....

Bose Soundtouch 30 Review A Powerful Connected Speaker With Waveguide Technology

With Bose calling the SoundTouch 30 their “most powerful wireless speaker,” you’d be forgiven for thinking that this is a premium portable speaker. Although definitely premium in its build quality and features, this speaker is anything but portable, weighing in at a hefty 18.5 lbs, measuring a long 17.1 inches wide, and requiring AC power at all times to drive its prodigious sound output. The “wireless” part is merely a conflated reference to all the ways it can connect to other devices and services via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and Bluetooth....
