To call the Nintendo Switch a make or break console for the Japanese gaming giant is a bit of a stretch, but there's no question that Nintendo has a whole lot riding on the success of its new video game console. Last Friday, the company began a long journey toward regaining gamers' trust after the disaster that was the Wii U. After the original Wii became a cultural phenomenon, Nintendo looked to recapture the magic with the console's successor in 2012. Despite tremendous buzz and a big head start on next-generation consoles from the competition, the Wii U fizzled thanks to its gimmicky touchscreen controller and a crippling lack of games. In 2017, Nintendo looks to tu…

HDTV antennas are pretty much the greatest thing that ever happened to cord cutters. Companies are finally beginning to offer streaming TV solutions and services like Netflix and Hulu are great, but all that costs money. Meanwhile, with a simple HDTV antenna, you can get live TV in full 1080p HD from all of the major networks and dozens of other channels... all for free. Why on Earth would anyone pass that up? Well, there is one downside to getting free TV this way: HDTV antenna are generally pretty ugly, and you usually have to mount them on a window or someplace else that's very visible. But guess what — there's another solution out there, and it's a brilliant one. T…

The Nintendo Switch is finally here and many early impressions are extremely positive. That is, unless your shiny new gaming system arrived in anything other than a pristine state.

"Galaxy Note" has become a dirty phrase associated with fire and disappointment in the last few months, so it's easy to forget that the Note series used to be Samsung's flagship. Before it started spontaneously combusting, reviews fawned over the Note 7's non-flammable design and features like the iris sensor. So obviously, Samsung is going to want to get its reputation back with the next Note device, set to land later this year. With a launch not expected until October, we don't have much by the way of leaks yet, but what we do have looks good. Continue reading...

The future is wireless... but we're not quite there yet. There are still all sorts of issues that make wireless headphones a step not everyone is willing to take right now.

Don't worry though, because you've got other options. Instead of carrying around that ridiculous little dongle, check out the five different pairs of Lightning headphones we've rounded up in this post. They start at just $19.99…
