3.0

Somewhere Good aims to inspire deep and thoughtful conversations about community and culture, but currently it’s more of a good idea than a good social network.

Sonos Ray Review

3.0

The Ray is the smallest, most affordable soundbar that works with any Sonos multi-room system, but it's a bit too pricey for its bass-light performance and relative lack of features.

Falcon Northwest Tiki (2022) Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

Falcon Northwest's Tiki packs full-tower power into a small-form-factor chassis without compromise. Just beware—it's not cheap.

HP Omen 27u 4K Review

3.5

HP's Omen 27u is a good-looking 4K display built with next-gen console gaming, and high-powered PC play, in mind. Its vivid color range impresses, though its input lag will dampen the appeal to the esports crowd.

Firewalla Purple Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

Firewalla Purple lets you see and manage all your network devices and their actions. There's lots for techies to love, including a VPN client and server, but even the average user can reap most of its benefits.

1More Evo Review

3.5

The 1More Evo true wireless earphones deliver accurate, hi-res audio, but they don't cancel outside noise particularly well and lack a few expected customization features.

By Tim Gideon

Spotify Car Thing Review

2.5

Available in capacities up to 5TB, the current ceiling for a portable hard disk drive, the Silicon Power Armor A66 combines low-cost storage with some protection from the elements.

Corsair MP600 Pro XT Review

4.0

The Corsair MP600 Pro XT internal SSD has the raw speed for high-impact gaming and the cooling to stay in top form under pressure, though you'll want to look elsewhere if you need a drive for a laptop or PS5.
