A hands-on Apple HomePod smart speaker review
I think it’s fair to say I’ve tested over fifty speakers as a tech writer and editor. I’ve tried PC speakers, bookshelf speakers, smart speakers — some of which weren’t very smart — and I’ve tried nearly every major Bluetooth speaker on the market. I know what I like in a speaker. When I tried…

JBL Clip 5 Review: Why This is My Go-To Portable Speaker
There aren’t many things that my husband and I fight over, but the JBL Clip 5 is on that list. I normally win the custody battle, which is why you can almost always find it in my bag (along with my five different lip products and my Kindle Scribe). It comes with me to soccer…
