Lazarus review: Wildly stylish, but it’s no Cowboy Bebop

Engadget

Like Watanabe's Samurai Champloo , Lazarus is best enjoyed if you dont look too closely at its plot holes or contrivances (Axels inhuman parkour abilities make Spike Spiegels antics seem tame in comparison). Lazarus is basically another action thriller, but this time its scored to modern jazz and electronic music.

Are We Good? review: Marc Maron becomes the face of pandemic-era grief

Mashable Tech

However, this context pales in comparison to his actual art and artistic process — the brief glimpses of which are more enticing than the film surrounding it. These white, musical squiggles on a black background take on an almost spiritual form in the process, becoming jagged, unnerving externalizations of grief.

Revisiting the Apple Watch SE in 2025 left me with a long list of update requests

Engadget

But this review left me cold. As a daily smartwatch wearer and consumer gadget reviewer, Im offering you my completely free advice on what Id like to see on the next Apple Watch SE. Apart from the scuff, the screen on the 40mm Apple Watch SE I reviewed feels identical to the one on that wearable from 2018. Thats fine.

Apple Music’s terrible year in review is giving me serious Spotify Wrapped FOMO

The Verge

It’s December 1st, which for Spotify users, means the annual tradition of the music streaming service’s Spotify Wrapped roundup : customized, flashy infographics of the top songs, playlists, artists, and podcast that you’ve listened to over the last year, chock-full of data, mood boards, and just a sprinkling of judgment. This is fine.

Google Nest Audio review: the sweet spot

The Verge

Additionally, the Nest Audio sounds good at lower volumes, which is nice when I just want some background music while I’m working or during dinner. Obviously, the Nest Audio is louder and sounds better than the Nest Mini and is the better choice for frequently listening to music.

Beats Studio Buds review: big ambition, imperfect execution

The Verge

They look downright miniature in comparison. The oval charging case is mercifully way smaller than the giant one that holds the Powerbeats Pro, and the red color of my review unit is quite eye-catching. And their noise cancellation and transparency modes don’t keep pace with some pricier earbuds, including the AirPods Pro.
