WiSA @ CES 2019

WiSA is neat tech. So I always make a point to put them on the list of groups to meet with at CES. There wasn’t much new this year; the chips still top out at a Dolby Atmos unfriendly channel count. Although as a “better” alternative to a soundbar (i.e good in a good/better/best) for the vast majority of consumers […]

Onelink @ CES 2019

Last year, I was really impressed with First Alert Onelink‘s Alexa/Google Home enabled smoke/CO detectors. This year, even more so with their plans to release a Wi-Fi mesh model. Details were a bit sparse on the floor, but I was promised more information in “early 2019”. Such an amazing idea, that should solve wireless connectivity in most any modern home. […]

RHA @ CES 2019

When RHA announced the CL2 Planar was one of the first companies I put on the “must stop by” list for this CES, and I was not disappointed. They are hands down the best headphones I have ever experienced, which, given the $900 price tag they should be. The clarity, responsiveness, and quick transitions all stood out, but it was […]

ASUS Launches RT-AX88U 802.11ax Wireless Router

Wi-Fi 6, or 802.11ax, is a thing now… And there appear to be real benefits to the updated standard, especially in congested locations. Naturally early adoption isn’t cheap, with this new ASUS RT-AX88U SRP’g for $350. But, if future proofing (at least for a year or two :)) is on your resolutions list, this could be exactly the thing for […]
