Speakers tend to be boring. They're black boxes that we try to hide behind potted plants or shove on a shelf where they collect dust. And then there's Harman Kardon. In 2000, they created the iconic SoundSticks with Jony Ive, which found a place in the MoMA museum. Now, a quarter of a century later, the fifth generation is upon us. The Harman Kardon SoundSticks 5 are no longer just "computer speakers." With an HDMI ARC input and a serious audio upgrade, they've become a legitimate (and much sexier) alternative to your soundbar.

Sometimes you have to admit – Beats have long been considered the “too much bass, not enough everything else” headphones you buy just because someone on Instagram was wearing them. But here we go – it’s 2025 and I’m about to say something that would have sent me into internet quarantine years ago: The new Powerbeats Pro 2 are actually some of the better headphones on the market. Yes, those ear-hook headphones that look like something a space marathon runner would wear. Well, now they’re better, lighter, more comfortable and – surprise – smarter. And the craziest part: they have all these upgrades, but the price remains the same as the previous generation. Apple, are you online?
