For the same $179/AU$299 price as before, the Sonos Roam can now be purchased in Olive (green), Wave (light blue) and Sunset (orange.) The finishes are meant to embody the outdoorsy-ness of the Roam, which like the Sonos Move has a built-in battery and can be used on the go. Sonos has many reputations in the audio market but launching colorful products is not one of them. All the best smart speakers, best soundbars and wireless speakers from Sonos of the last several years have only been available in black or white....

Its position in the pantheon of 2022 soundbars works to its detriment unfortunately because you’re not getting quite the full range of sound with just the soundbar alone. You can, of course, add on a separate subwoofer and pair of rear speakers to the tune of $349 and $599 respectively, but that’s going to put you much closer to the more expensive soundbars like the Bowers & Wilkins Panorama 3 that Sony’s trying to undercut....

Update: as of November 26 this deal is still running. The Sony WH-1000XM5 rank as one the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market, competing with the likes of the Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless and Bose 700. Thanks to the superb audio quality and excellent active noise cancellation, the Sony XM5 offer one of the best audio experiences out there. During our testing, we found that the Sony WH-1000XM5 gets closer than ever to beating the Bose 700 — our best ever noise canceller....

So it’s a relief, albeit of the predictable variety, to report the WH-1000XM5 pick up where the XM4 left off. Excellent sound quality in every respect, improved noise-cancellation and a very credible eco proposition make them every bit as compelling a set of cans as the model they replace. It’s not exclusively good news, though. The price at which the XM5 launch is eye-widening — even if our experience of Sony headphones makes us believe the asking price will come down soon....

I went hands-on with Star Trek: Resurgence at Summer Game Fest. I played through three separate scenes from the game, first taking control of enlisted engineer Carter Diaz, then switching over to first officer Jara Rydek, and back again. The gameplay is as simple as it gets: walking, talking and occasionally pressing buttons. The demo was also quite rough, suffering from multiple bugs and visual glitches, one of which turned the screen entirely black while two characters were talking....

In a statement today, Strava said, “Our attempt to prevent duplicate activity uploads from posting to Strava created unintended consequences for our athlete community. After listening to their feedback and assessing the situation we have decided to turn syncing back on for third-party applications to Apple Health.” Last week, Strava support team told us that the update to Health Kit integration meant only activities recorded directly with the Strava iPhone or Apple Watch app will push to Apple Health....

In our Hisense H9G Quantum Android TV review we said: “A solid picture with excellent details, the 4K Hisense H9G delivers top value with plenty of smart TV features and a rapid screen for gamers.” The TV takes full advantage of Quantum Dot technology to produce vivid images with precisely defined colors. The 4K UHD panel also offers support for HDR, so you can watch your favorite movies, TV shows and, of course, the biggest sporting events in four times the resolution compared to Full HD....

In 2022 alone, the service has added a slew of critically acclaimed new shows including Severence, Black Bird and Pachinko, alongside a selection of returning favorites including For All Mankind and the docuseries Home. Oh, and new seasons of flagship hits The Morning Show, See and Ted Lasso are all set to premiere over the next few months. While I’m greatly anticipating the return of everybody’s favorite mustache-sporting soccer coach, one of my favorite Apple TV Plus shows gives Coach Lasso a run for his money when it comes to being effortlessly charming....

A high-quality mattress topper will help provide pressure relief, prevent unwanted sagging, and offer additional support to a current mattress. They are a great option for anyone whose mattress is a little too soft, or a little too firm, but doesn’t need replacing entirely. They’re also beloved by college students living in a dorm room since they are provided with mattresses that are almost like sleeping on a coffee table....

But with so many best coolers on the market, it can often be tricky to find the right one to suit your needs. Ranging from soft and traditional hard cases on wheels, to even backpack styles, there is a type for everyone. But, there are some useful things to consider before you buy. First, what capacity do you need and how much can it hold? If you’re hosting a gathering, you don’t want something too small to accommodate all your beverages and treats....

What’s more, the best free video editing software is a lot more feature-rich than you might imagine these days. Where once they would be severely limited compared to their paid cousins, most now offer a bunch of advanced tools for everything from transitions to soundtrack to special effects. That said, not all free software is created equal. That’s why we’ve tested all of the top free video editing software packages to help you decide which one is right for you....

Staying safe when you’re gaming isn’t the only reason to bag a VPN for gaming, though. If you’ve ever noticed your internet connection start fluctuating after you’ve been online for a while, it’s likely that your network is being throttled by your ISP. By using the best VPN, you can hide your traffic from your ISP so it can’t target you as a high-bandwidth user. What’s more, you may also be able to find better prices on games by changing your location....

While the best handheld gaming consoles in the past made you choose between limited specs (like a Nintendo Game Boy) and excessive power consumption (like a Sega Game Gear), modern handheld consoles don’t suffer from such restrictions. The gadgets on this list support deep games with gorgeous graphics. You can also play for hours at a time, thanks to strong battery lives. Whether you need to pass the time on your commute or keep yourself occupied once you reach your destination, here are the best handheld gaming consoles you can buy....

Over 10 million people have a Ring video doorbell installed and it’s one of the most well-known names in the doorbell world. Its Ring Protect plan starts at $30 a year and provides video recording and storage for 180 days. Our Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2 review saw us seriously impressed with one key feature of this model in particular: the square aspect ratio. This means that the video feed of the doorbell is as wide as it is long — particularly useful to see packages on your doorstep....

Is there anything more annoying than an ill-fitting pair of goggles that leak every time you turn your head to one side to breathe or push off the wall? We think not. You should be able to pull a pair of trusty goggles on and not be met with leaky seals and awkward straps. Goggles are meant to make swimming easier, not harder. So which are the best swimming goggles to buy, and should you opt for goggles with low-profile lenses for streamlined speed or wider, flatter lenses?...

That’s the question that Cooler Master seems to have answered with its new Orb X, a gaming pod that is designed to be the future of gaming. And it’s certainly futuristic. The pod is surrounded by ARGB LED lighting strips that give it a look almost from the movie Tron, with a monitor arm that swings up and down to let you into the pod. As ridiculous as the picture I’m painting for you may sound, it appears the reality is pretty nice....

The Sony WF-1000XM4 are some of the best wireless earbuds on the market right now. They have a whole lot of great features under their belt, including a stylish design, great battery life and a responsive set of smart controls. It’s great to have bonus features, but the most important aspect of a pair of wireless earbuds is undoubtedly how they sound. Based on our WF-1000XM4 review, these buds absolutely deliver....

The coming-of-age drama hinges on a love triangle between Isabel “Belly” Conklin (newcomer Lola Tung) and her childhood pals, brothers Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). Their families have shared a beach house every summer, due to the steady friendship between Belly’s mom Laurel (Jackie Chung) and the boys’ mother Susannah (Rachel Blanchard). When Susannah arranges for Belly to be a debutante, the brothers suddenly notice how their friend has grown up into an attractive young woman....

The preview opens with Monroe seemingly praying in a dressing room while having her makeup done. It then flashes through several shots, some in monochrome some in full color. We also glimpse a recreation of the iconic image of Monroe in a white dress standing over a steam grate from 1955’s The Seven Year Itch. The trailer ends with Monroe breaking into a smile before starting to laugh, but just as the trailer cuts her grin seems to falter....

Fortunately, Rotten Tomatoes (opens in new tab) can provide some guidance. The reviews aggregator issues scores for movies and shows based on what critics and audiences are saying. Generally, you can count on the quality of titles that are certified “fresh.” Even better, though, are the shows that gain the equivalent of an A grade — a 90 percent score or higher. This year, Apple TV Plus has released seven series with that achievement....
