Most powerful usb powered speakers

Looking for a smart speaker that doesn’t look like a smart speaker? Look no further than Pantheone Audio’s Obsidian . The Australian company is no stranger to creating speakers that double as works of art. Its debut product, the $2,750 Pantheone I would look at home in a gallery, and the $1,399 Obsidian makes a similar statement, only on a smaller, portable scale. For its smarts, the Obsidian (which comes in black or white) leans on Amazon Alexa, but it’s also a well-featured wireless multiroom speaker that can connect via Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2 , or Bluetooth, plus it has a 3.5mm analog audio input for sources like turntables. In addition to an on/off switch, there are illuminated front touch controls for Alexa, playback, and volume.

Charging it fully takes two hours, but … [Read more...] about Pantheone Obsidian smart speaker puts Alexa in a sharp body | Digital Trends

Asus' ROG Flow X13 , Z13 , and X16 are powerful laptops with some of the top hardware on the market. But they rely on ROG XG Mobile GPUs for high-end gaming performance, making them an enticing option for those who want a slim laptop on the go, but a powerful gaming rig when you plug into the eGPU at home. GeForce RTX 4090 (in its mobile form), one of the best graphics cards for gamers. The ROG XG Mobile is an external graphics dock that Asus introduced back in 2021 for the company's premium ROG Flow X13 (GV301/GV302), ROG Flow Z13 (GZ301), and ROG Flow X16 (GV601) laptops. IT connects to the host device via a proprietary PCIe connector, so the ROG XG Mobile isn't compatible with notebooks outside of the aforementioned ROG Flow units. However, the most significant benefit of the connector is that it provides a PCIe 3.0 x8 highway for communication between the ROG XG Mobile and the host. The theoretical bandwidth for a PCIe 3.0 x8 connection is 63 Gb/s, around 57% higher … [Read more...] about Asus’ Pricey, Proprietary Mobile RTX 4090 eGPU Arrives, for $1,999

The fact that we’re even considering the notion is impressive in its own right, but to know whether that opinion holds much water, we’re going to examine both headsets’ most important factors, and compare them head-to-head to see which one deserves your money.

MSI’s gaming monitor lineup is growing by one today, thanks to the addition of the G253PF. MSI aims the G253PF squarely at the eSports crowd, fitting it with a 24.5-inch in-plane switching (IPS) panel with a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. However, the standout feature here is the monitor’s 380Hz refresh rate . 380Hz might not seem all that impressive next to the 500Hz Alienware AW2524H we recently reviewed, but we’re confident that the G253PF won’t be priced anywhere near $829. We should note that you’re limited to 240Hz at Full HD resolution when connecting via HDMI. The 380Hz refresh rate is only unlocked using the DisplayPort interface, with overclocking enabled. Given the IPS technology lurking underneath, you’ll find a typical contrast ratio of just 1,000:1, compared to the around 3,000:1 you’d find on competing VA panels. MSI also quotes a grey-to-grey response time of 1ms and support for Nvidia G-Sync . Typical brightness is spaced for 320 nits, while peak HDR … [Read more...] about MSI’s 24.5-Inch G253PF Gaming Monitor Can Hit 380Hz
