The Crosley Tribute Radio offers the nostalgic sound of AM/FM radio and vintage aesthetics, but audiophiles should avoid it.

The Amazon Echo Dot Max is a very good Alexa+ smart speaker, but doesn’t have enough new features to warrant an upgrade over the 4th-generation Echo.

The Echo Studio is the best smart speaker for an Amazon-centric home theater system and smart home, but those focused more on audio quality will still prefer the Sonos Era 100.

The EarFun Air Pro 4+ are the best budget earbuds I’ve ever tested. With delicate, balanced treble and a rich midrange and bass, these are the buds to beat.

Creative Stage Pro goes where very few soundbars go: a soundbar-and-subwoofer for $170. It’s surprisingly impressive, but can’t contend with premium options.

The Soundcore Sleep A30s make serious headway over the previous and are the only sleep earbuds I'd recommend you buy.

The Skullcandy Push 720 Open are decent waterproof workout buds with a useful case, but you can get more for your money elsewhere.

The Denon Home Sound Bar 550 is a premium soundbar with incredible audio quality and sound system integration, but at a cost.

The Beyerdynamic Aventho 100 on-ear headphones make nearly every genre sound phenomenal, and they boast highly effective ANC and long battery life too.

The Beats Powerbeats Fit bring an improved fit and a different sound profile, as well as a smaller charging case. They don’t get some of the upgrades we were hoping for, however.
