Lees meerAs Aaliyah sang in her 2000 hit, “Try Again,” “If at first you don’t succeed, oh, then dust yourself off and try again.” Google did that. It went back to the drawing board, scrapped everything except the look of the Pixel Watch, and made a better Pi…
Lees meerYou should have an Apple Watch if you use an iPhone. It is the defacto accessory, perfectly tailored to the iPhone user’s needs and, presumably, wants. I say “presumably” because Apple’s idea to add the Double Tap gesture is such a distinctive, nich…
Lees meerI did it. I wore the OnePlus Watch 2 for two weeks to write this review. It was tough at times, and I have to be honest, I hated some of it. (Though not as much as my former coworker hated the first version of this watch.) The OnePlus Watch 2 does n…

Lees meerIt’s a picture frame! It’s a speaker! No, it’s… a speaker frame. Since Samsung first showed off its new Music Frame at CES, we’ve been jonesing to spend time in front of it to see whether it will knock our socks off or offer a gentle kiss of sound o…

Lees meerI have been running on and off for quite some time. Since I can’t deal with the gross heat and sweat buildup that even the best over-ear headphones lead to during a run. So, I resort to earbuds. I’ve used a few open earbuds throughout my ongoing run…
Lees meerThe best pair of wireless earbuds do more than sound great. They’re supposed to be comfortable, offer intuitive controls that are easy to navigate, sport an efficient mic, and have a battery that lasts sufficiently long. This is just the bare minimu…
Lees meerI think one thing we can all agree on is that the world is a pretty noisy place. We can also agree on the fact that no one likes that. And, at least sometimes, we’d ideally like to shut it all out. While that’s not possible, a pair of effective noi…
Lees meerSamsung smartphones are known for their big, beautiful AMOLED displays, so I was curious when I saw its Windows laptops get similar treatment. The 16-inch display on Samsung’s latest Galaxy Book 4 Pro 360 is one of the sharpest, most responsive lapt…
