TCL has created a 22-speaker soundbar designed to transform living rooms into movie theaters, but it will not be available in the US.

      Here's a look inside TCL's new flagship Q95K soundbar, featuring Bang & Olufsen tuning and 360-degree sound technology.

      I've tested enough soundbars to recognize that many claims of "360-degree audio" tend to be just marketing hype masquerading as innovation. However, TCL's latest flagship may genuinely have the technology to justify that assertion.

      The Q95K stands as TCL's premier soundbar. It boasts an 11.1.4 channel Hi-Fi setup, developed in partnership with Bang & Olufsen. It appears to be a serious contender against high-end home theater systems.

      What components can be found in this soundbar?

      The system delivers 1420W of peak power through 22 independent speaker units. This impressive output is distributed across a main bar with seven horizontal channels, two overhead channels, and one subwoofer channel, complemented by wireless surround speakers that cater to rear, rear-side, and rear-overhead sound.

      Such a speaker configuration not only amplifies sound but also excels in creating an immersive audio experience, particularly when watching films.

      Its three-way acoustic design spans a wide frequency range of 30Hz to 20kHz while maintaining distortion below 1%. It incorporates neodymium magnets and aluminum diaphragms to ensure clarity in the mid and high frequencies.

      The bass is produced by a dual-engine subwoofer featuring opposing 7-inch drivers aimed at eliminating cabinet resonance, while 12 individual amplifier chips manage separate speakers to reduce crosstalk. These features tackle common issues found in high-powered soundbars, such as unclear bass and poor audio separation.

      What about the rest of the product range, and is it available for purchase yet?

      The 360-degree sound field technology by TCL relies on software that adjusts through the TCL app, accommodating various wall layouts. It offers connectivity options including HDMI 2.1 with eARC, Wi-Fi 6, and AirPlay 2, with a design that functions well both on a desk and mounted to a wall.

      TCL has also introduced two smaller models: the Q85K (16 units, 1180W) and Q75K (14 units, 580W). Regrettably, none of these soundbars are currently available in the United States, though TCL does offer its flagship TVs and other audio products in the region.

      All three models are presently exclusive to China, priced at 7,999 yuan (~$1,181), 5,999 yuan (~$886), and 4,699 yuan (~$694) respectively, with no confirmed global launch date.

      Lenovo introduces Bose-tuned Yoga headphones in the US at an affordable price

      Lenovo has launched a headset for under $200 that features Bose-tuned audio for those using Yoga laptops.

      Lenovo is making its entry into the competitive noise-canceling headphone market with a model priced just shy of $200. Named the Headphone Yoga PC Edition, these headphones offer Bose-tuned sound, active noise cancellation, and a design that complements Lenovo's Yoga laptops.

      Initially announced at CES 2026, the Cosmic Blue version is now available directly from Lenovo in the United States. While designed with Yoga PCs in mind, the headphones also have Bluetooth 5.3 and a 3.5mm input for compatibility with other phones, tablets, and computers.

      Your blurry laptop webcam is sabotaging your first impression—consider upgrading

      The built-in webcam on your laptop might suffice for casual calls, but its limitations become more apparent when delivering presentations, interviewing for internships, or streaming for fun.

      Laptop cameras are often positioned too low, especially when the device is directly on a desk. A dedicated webcam allows you to position the camera at eye level, improving framing, and typically features larger sensors, superior microphones, and enhanced low-light capabilities.

      There's a growing desire for a new classic Walkman, but Sony might find it challenging to deliver

      In an era of tech minimalism, there's a renewed interest in the classic Walkman. Reviving it could prove to be quite difficult.

      Every few months, a piece of once-obsolete tech re-emerges as trendy. The minimalist movement has reignited interest in iPods among younger generations, while "dumbphones" provide a break from constant notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are returning to popularity. People continue to seek physical media as an alternative to endless subscriptions.

      This makes it a great moment for Sony to revive the iconic Walkman, which was once a huge hit in the 80s and 90s. Personally, I would love to see it. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones, and exclude apps, notifications, and taste-shaping algorithms. It should just be me and my Walkman. However, there's a significant challenge: recreating the beloved original Walkman would be much tougher than simply putting an old
