As a tool for analyzing recordings, for discerning the variations in different mixes of the same recording, for finding the finest and/or most transient details in a recording, they’re extremely gifted. And yet they manage to combine these fearsome powers of examination with a fairly easygoing, reasonably engaging overall presentation. Many headphones of a similarly rigorous nature can be rather dry and unengaging to just passively listen to — but that’s not the case here....

Right now, the Bella Pro Series 8qt Digital Air Fryer is $59 at Best Buy (opens in new tab). At a big $70 off its usual price, this air fryer is a steal. This Bella Pro Series air fryer is perfect if you’re looking for a cooker with a large capacity, that won’t cost you the earth. This model has an 8qt capacity, which is perfect to feed families of four or more people....

The Sonos Roam is already one of our best outdoor speakers — and it could be about to get slightly better still. That’s because three new color options could soon be coming our way. Like other Sonos models, Roam colour choices are currently limited to plain old black or white finishes, but as the amateur sleuths on a Reddit (opens in new tab) thread found, three new tantalising color options appear to be on the way....

However, despite the frankly eye-watering price that doesn’t even include an external subwoofer or set of surround speakers (although these can of course be packaged separately as a cost option), the Sony HT-A7000 is a very elegant and well thought out soundbar indeed. As the current flagship model that joined Sony’s soundbar roster in late 2021, the HT-A7000 replaces the long-running but even more costly HT-ST5000. Like its predecessor, the HT-A7000 is a full-featured home-theater speaker system designed to be the mainstay of any home TV, music, and gaming setup for years to come....

With its squared-off design, large display and S Pen support, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is basically the spiritual successor to the now defunct Note line. It’s got all the do-everything features seen in prior Notes, as well as the high-end specs that makes such Android phones compelling to power users. And as a fan of such phones, despite not always being a power user type, it’s a no-brainer that I would like the Galaxy S22 Ultra....

In early 2022 it became apparent that Spotify’s lossless streaming tier was hit by delays, although it now looks as though Spotify HiFi could be back on the agenda after all. Now that we’re in the end of the year, Spotify Wrapped 2022 is live! If you don’t already have a Spotify Premium subscription, you might be wondering if it’s worth paying the monthly $9.99. Or, if it’s better to keep a Spotify Free account but spend music streaming money towards a different service....

Electronic Arts has released the game’s official key art ahead of a gameplay reveal at the Game Awards on December 8. If you want substantial information on the game, you’ll have to wait a few days — but if you’re eager for any and all information on the title, this is the first official news we’ve had in a while. EA revealed the key art for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor in a press release....

Right now, you can get the MacBook Air M1 for $799 (opens in new tab)! If you want something even more affordable, the Samsung Chromebook 4 is available for $159 (opens in new tab). Need a solid gaming laptop? Then you may want to consider the Acer Nitro 5, which is on sale for over $300 off (opens in new tab). The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 (opens in new tab) is still discounted by over $2,000!...

The last time we covered a similar deal on the Tempur Topper Supreme it sold out in a few days. Why the big fuss about a mattress accessory? Because this is America’s best mattress topper and it has rave reviews for comfort, support and all-out snooze happiness. People with sore joints in particular love it. This is also the biggest Tempur-Pedic mattress discount we’ve seen on it in a while, so we wouldn’t hesitate to jump on this if you’ve been waiting for it to come back in stock....

However, games based on this venerable franchise tend to be hit-or-miss. The good ones make you feel totally immersed in the wide and wonderful world of Middle-earth; the bad ones just make you wish you were reading the books or listening to the BBC radio drama instead. (I don’t personally think much of Peter Jackson’s bombastic movies, but “each to his own fashion,” as Sam Gamgee once said.) The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring (2003) Possibly the most controversial entry on this list, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Ring is, by most accounts, a rather unremarkable real-time strategy game....

That’s where we come in — we’ve tested a range of coffee makers to find those that offer everything and more. We assessed the flavor of the coffee produced, considering it’s balance, finish and speed to brew, and we looked at the quality of the design as well. We checked how intuitive each machine was to use, whether the water tank was quick and easy to fill, and considered the overall versatility as well; what drinks can it produce and does it take up a lot of space in the process?...

The automotive industry is no stranger to CES, showing off concept cars that are designed to wow and amaze, but aren’t necessarily destined to hit the road. Even with lessened attendance due to the Omicron variant, CES 2022 was no exception to the wild fancies of Detroit, Japan and Germany. These are the few concept cars that caught our attention. Mercedes Vision EQXX Mercedes is no stranger to electric cars, and already sells several different models across the United States and Europe....

Free VPNs have to support themselves somehow, so it’s important that you understand exactly how the provider can afford to offer its services without taking your money. The best are ‘freemium’, meaning that you’ll get unlimited usage of a restricted version of the full paid product. It’s also worth mentioning that if you’re thinking of downloading the first free VPN you find on the App Store, don’t. Many are known to sell your data, and often provide no VPN protection at all....

There are two benefits to owning one of the best PS5 external hard drives. The first is that you can store unused PS5 games there, and transfer them back onto your console much more quickly than redownloading them from Sony’s servers. The second benefit is that you can play PS4 games directly from an external drive, meaning you can save all of your precious internal SSD space for massive PS5 titles....

So, popping on the right pair of running sunglasses can boost your efforts and make for a better — and safer — run. If you’re unsure what the difference is, running sunglasses are designed with performance and high-intensity activity in mind. They’re designed to stay secure on your face and their lenses are sometimes curved to a greater degree to diminish the amount of light that leaks around the edge....

However, as the platform has grown, so too has demand for effective Twitch VPN services. That’s thanks to the fact that Twitch is banned in a number of countries including China and Slovakia, and has previously been restricted in Turkey, Russia, and more. By using the best VPN for Twitch to change your location, you can access Twitch anywhere. What’s more, if you discover your account has been banned, you’ll need to change your IP address to make a new one....

We reached this episode with everything at a fever pitch, with the revelation that Homelander (Antony Starr) is the son of Soldier Boy (Jensen Ackles), Homelander hunting down his own son Ryan (Cameron Crovetti) with the help of Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit), and Butcher (Karl Urban) and Hughie (Jack Quaid) going for more Temp-V even though they’re both in danger of fatally overdosing. The Boys season 3 finale also delivered more than a couple of endearing moments, and a betrayal or two (depending on your point of view)....

These increases are part of an effort by the Fed to lower the inflation rate to 2% from where it currently stands at 8.2%, and they’re expected to continue throughout 2023. Rates are expected to peak anywhere from 4.5% to 4.75% before going down. The goal of the Fed’s rate hikes is to slow down the economy by making borrowing more expensive, but there’s been debate over whether these hikes are too aggressive....

Unlike Astro’s Playroom on the PS5, the Xbox Series X doesn’t have a free pack-in game that teaches you all the ins and outs of the system and the controller. As such, unless you have a particular title in mind, choosing your first Xbox Series X gaming experience might seem a little daunting. Thanks to extensive backwards compatibility and a robust indie library, the system supports thousands of games, and it’s a lot more fun to simply dive into one than sift through endless descriptions or reviews....

The first season of The Flight Attendant was not only a hit for the streaming service, it also racked up a ton of Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. Star Kaley Cuoco celebrated her first-ever Emmy nom, after years of being blanked for Big Bang Theory. Season 2 is introducing a big change when it returns to HBO Max — a move to Los Angeles! The series got a tax break from California, so it’s shifting from New York to sunny L....
