LG Electronics USA announced the pricing and availability of its 2023 LG Sound Bar C (SC9) and LG SE6 models. These new soundbars are designed to complement its 2023 TV range, both in appearance and performance. LG claims the Sound Bar C is the first to integrate technology and features from IMAX Enhanced, Dolby Atmos, and DTS:X while employing triple up-firing height channels.

LG Electronics USA has just announced the pricing and availability of its latest gaming monitor, the 49-inch Curved UltraGear, aka the 49GR85DC-B. The new monitor, now available for pre-order on LG.com, is priced at $1299. LG is sweetening the pre-order deal by offering a free UltraGear Gaming Pad worth $200 and the company expects to ship in early April.

When it comes to TVs, things are looking bright for 2023. If there's a theme to this year's new models, it's the dramatic increase in peak light output for both LCD and OLED-based TVs. Sony's new Bravia lineup is a perfect example; these TVs significantly outshine their predecessors.

Sony's updated Bravia XR lineup boasts a range of five new models, each designed to offer a superlative viewing experience. It consists of the X95L Mini LED (65, 75, and 85 inches), X90L Full Array LED (55, 65, 75, 85 and 98 inches), A95L QD-OLED (55, 65, and 77 inches), and the A80L OLED (55, 65, 77, and 83 inches).

Klipsch is bringing its decades of experience in speaker design to bear on a new line of high-performance subwoofers built to match the power and performance of its flagship Reference Premiere speakers.

Yesterday, I took a day trip to New York City and checked out CanJam 2023, a personal audio showcase touted as the foremost audio event for headphones. CanJam is actually a series of events that take place in various cities across the world, and the one in New York City is the easiest for me to attend. The two-day event, held on February 25th and 26th, took place at the New York Marriott Marquis in Times Square.

During the visit I took the opportunity to capture and create several short videos, they are featured here.

Definitive Technology, the company started by audio-industry icon Sandy Gross in 1990, today announced a new series of speakers that celebrates the two things the brand is best known for: bipolar speaker designs that use front- and rear-facing drivers to create a more spacious listening experience and the “power tower” — a floorstanding speaker with a built-in powered subwoofer.
