Even when the all-powerful Spotify algorithm knows what I like and recommends amazing playlists, I like to create some of my own. That’s why I get mad when my Google Home speaker suddenly stops playing music. The immersive experience is completely ruined. So, I decided to figure out what was causing the issue and came…
Tech giants like to draw you into their ecosystem and that’s why they try to design their products to seamlessly work together. The same holds for my Android phone and all the Google Home products I own. I’ve come to love this seamless control when I’m in front of the TV. If you have a…
A soundbar is an easy and hassle-free way of boosting your audio output. Some even ship with extra satellite speakers and support surround sound. I like it for its simple setup, and lack of clutter. However, my new soundbar setup was ruining the audio experience with excessive echoes and distortions. Fortunately, there’s a fix. Soundbars…
I love the immersive experience of a high-end home theater system. However, it involves many speakers, subwoofers, an amplifier, and plenty of wires. Moreover, a high-end home theater system is ridiculously expensive. That’s why I borrowed a soundbar from my friend to compare the installation and audio experience. I didn’t need to do any cable…

Although soundbars previously promised better sound quality than bulky household speaker systems, back then they did sacrifice the sound performance for portability. However, today’s soundbars have come a long way and are a whole different story. In addition to supporting DTS:X surround sound formats and Dolby Atmos, they also offer overheard and height effects.

Apple is notoriously known for making products that are hard to tamper with. Of course, this means they create top-of-the-line devices when it comes to security. However, it also restricts them when it comes to interaction between certain devices/gadgets. For instance, you have to be very picky when choosing a USB headset for your Mac…
For all their hooting on being open-ended, Xbox sure does not support third-party gear on their system. It’s one of the things I dislike about these consoles. With the prices of PC parts on the rise, consoles may seem like a better choice. But what good are they if you cannot even plug in your…
