Audio Equipment Reviews

Crammed with clever features, a long-lived battery and a wide soundstage, the Sennheiser Momentum 5 are very capable — but their default tuning requires a bit of polish to get the best results.

Sonos’s cheaper Era 100 makes no sonic sacrifices — although some users might find themselves missing out on a few nice-to-have features.

The Klipsch The Nines II are a great-sounding set of speakers that come with a surprising price bump.

The OneOdio Studio Max 2 are a lot like the Max 1, but with a higher price and improved transmitter. For most people, I'd still recommend the old pair.

The Majority Move M4 is a large portable speaker that looks like a real JBL Xtreme rival, but can it really put up a fight?

The Anker Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro tick all my boxes, with a few stand-out features that even earned my mom's approval, too.

The Shokz OpenDots 2 are top-of-the-range open clip-on earbuds that deliver a stable, if perhaps not quite secure, fit and excellent sound.

The Khadas Tea Pro attaches magnetically to your iPhone and connects via Bluetooth or USB-C to deliver a punchy, spacious audio upgrade

How much do you value flexibility? Since I've used the Sonos Play, I value it a lot

I tested the JBL Xtreme 5 and it’s one of the most exciting-sounding speakers I’ve ever used, with earth-shaking bass and gigantic amounts of power.
