I tested Sony's 98-inch Bravia Mini LED TV for week - and here's who should buy the $6,000 model

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2025-12-26 10:39:00

Sony recently sent us the 2025 Bravia 5 TV, this one with a 98-inch screen and weighing in at 158 pounds. It goes without saying that this TV is a beast -- an expensive one. And the Bravia 5 is not even considered the company's flagship model (you can look to the Bravia 8 II for that). But this TV is impressive, and after testing it for a week, I'll explain why. Also: You should turn off this default TV setting ASAP - and why even experts recommend it The Bravia 5 is a Google TV, so setting up

In theory, all headphones should sound great when you're listening to music, but not all are specifically designed to provide a high-quality music listening experience. That's not always a bad thing, as some headphones are built more to offer lots of features and good noise-cancelation, while others focus more on a sleek and stylish design. Still, some headphones are designed more with high-quality sound in mind. These headphones don't always have excellent noise-cancelation or some of the high
