LG S95AR Review: A Hassle-Free Dolby Atmos Soundbar

There aren’t many all-in-one soundbar solutions that give you as much sonic immersion for your money as LG’s S95.

You’re not making the most of YouTube and YouTube Premium if you’re not using this trick

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Back in April, I watched dozens of YouTube videos about Budapest before traveling there.

Toward the beginning of the pandemic, a friend asked me how she could use an external vocal mic and a guitar with a pickup on Zoom calls. Sounds easy, right?
