Spring has certainly sprung here at Engadget. We’ve put over a dozen devices through their paces since the last roundup, giving you plenty to catch up on over the weekend. Below is a quick recap of the reviews you might’ve missed.
ASUS ZenBook A16
“Compatibility issues aside, the ZenBook A16 delivers just about everything I want in an ultraportable,” senior reporter Devindra Hardawar said. “It’s got a gorgeous OLED screen and all of the ports you need. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X2 Elite chips also give it a much‑needed power boost. And best of all, it’s one of the lightest and sleekest 16‑inch Windows laptops I’ve come across.”
Apple AirPods Max 2
“The H2 chip brings Apple’s over‑ear headphones on par with the rest of the AirPods lineup, namely the AirPods Pro 3,” I said. “And since I don’t expect Apple to announce new earbuds this year, that parity should remain for a while.”
Sonos Play
“The latest Sonos speaker offers impressive sound quality, flexibility and portability, and it’s the kind of product that can help Sonos rebuild its reputation after its recent difficulties,” deputy editor Nathan Ingraham noted.
LG Sound Suite
“There’s no denying that LG has created a powerful and immersive living‑room experience with its Sound Suite lineup,” I said. “While I did experience some setup and software issues, those are things LG can iron out over time — Sound Suite is still brand new, after all.”
