Google is rolling out a significant update to the Google Home ecosystem this week, bringing a much broader set of automation tools along with a series of improvements to Nest Cam. While many of these features have been in early access for a while, they’re now expanding to all users.

OSD Audio is one of those companies that covers a lot of ground when it comes to audio. Its catalog leans heavily toward custom residential and commercial installations, but it also has a growing number of consumer-focused products. Earlier this year, we spent some time with the company’s XMAX11 amplifier and came away impressed with what it delivered for the price, so I was curious how the company’s subwoofer lineup would sound.

GameStop has put forward a proposal to acquire eBay in a deal valued at roughly $56 billion, offering $125 per share. The structure of the bid is split evenly between cash and stock, with 50 percent paid in cash and the remaining 50 percent in GameStop common shares.

Hisense is expanding its push into next-generation display tech with the launch of its new UR9 series, a 4K RGB Mini LED lineup built around Google TV. What stands out right away isn’t just the technology, but where it lands on pricing compared to similar offerings already on the market.

2026 is shaping up to be the year of RGB Mini LED. Just about every major manufacturer has a model in the works, and it’s a pretty exciting direction. The idea of using red, green, and blue LEDs directly in the backlight opens the door for better color control and potentially higher peak performance. But the verdict is still very much out on how it looks with real-world content. So far, most of what I’ve seen has been early prototypes, and while there are clear advantages, there are also some challenges that still need to be worked through.

2026 is a significant year for Klipsch. The company is celebrating its 80th anniversary, and it came into the year swinging at CES. The booth was packed with both current products and a preview of what’s coming throughout the year, and there were even a few surprises set to launch shortly after the show. Those surprises are the second generation of three of the most recommended powered speakers on the market.

SVS is adding three new stops to its ongoing Sound R|Evolution Experience tour, heading to St. Louis, Atlanta, and the New York area (specifically Paramus, NJ). The series, which has been running for nearly a decade now is built around in-person demos, product showcases, and direct interaction with the SVS team at select dealer showrooms.

TCL is expanding its audio lineup with something a bit different from its usual soundbar releases. The new  A65K is the company’s first entry in what it’s calling its UltraThin Designer Series. This series focuses on blending the soundbar into modern TV setups rather than standing out as a separate piece of hardware.

Lifestyle projectors have really started to carve out their own lane in the market. As pricing on more traditional home theater projectors has continued to climb, these newer options have stepped in to fill that $1,500 to $3,500 range with some compelling alternatives. At the same time, they’ve pushed single-chip DLP performance further than most of us probably expected, and that momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. From an enthusiast's perspective, it’s actually been fun to watch. It’s also pushing some of the bigger brands to rethink what they’re doing. As a consumer, competition is always good.

Spring is here, and for a lot of us, that usually means either new TVs, or finally dialing in that entertainment setup you’ve been putting off. Between sales and new product launches, it’s a common time to make a few changes. But as our setups grow, so does the pile of remotes, and that’s usually where things start to feel a bit cluttered.

AWOL Vision has opened what it's calling the final pre-sale window for the new Aetherion Series. The promotion runs from April 23 through May 14 and is aimed at home theater buyers who want to get in before the projectors become widely available at retail. Rather than offering a straight discount, the pre-sale is structured around bundled packages designed to help buyers put together a complete setup without having to source everything separately.

Following the limited-run kO-R1 from 2024, Klipsch and OJAS have introduced the kO-R2. It’s a new loudspeaker developed with Devon Turnbull, the artist and designer behind OJAS, and also ties into Klipsch’s 80th anniversary.
