Bluetooth and smart speakers are a dime a dozen these days, and many of them aren’t bad — so what it often comes down to is style. Native Union has my number with its latest device, which accentuates the classic bookcase speaker look with a tech-heavy back end and brass volume knob.

Mac hack: Use this $8 app to update your computer’s speakers

We love our Mac as much as the next Apple obsessive, but as with every product, there’s always room for improvement. Our biggest gripe? The speakers.

Sure, they’re good enough for a viral Twitter video and or a quick Facetime, but when it comes to watching a full-length movie or to hear who’s talking shit on Fortnite, they fall flat. 

Luckily, an app called Boom 3D for Mac can change that — for under 10 bucks.

Exclusive to macOS, this app features a system-wide booster and equalizer that can give your computer the sound quality it deserves. Once you download the app onto your computer, it uses its range of presets as well as its 10-band and advanced equalizers to identify and fix the sound on any of your programs. Read more…

These speakers stack like legos and communicate ‘like a hive’

TwitterFacebook

Smart speakers are invading our homes — but they don’t all necessarily produce quality sound. 

The Swedish audio company Sound Dimension is interested in producing quality audio, although you can’t (yet) ask their speakers what the weather might be like tomorrow, as you can a Google Home Mini or Amazon Echo. These speakers, called Soundots, can be reconfigured into different arrangements like legos, and are now on show at the 2018 CES tech conference. They communicate with each other like “members of a community or hive,” said Sound Dimension CEO Fredrik Gunnarsson.
