TCL put a projector in a party speaker.

A pulsing light show isn’t a feature high on anyone’s projector wish list, but that didn’t stop TCL from including one on its new A1. Just 360 ISO lumens of brightness limits the 1080P projector’s use to dark rooms or nighttime showings, but for $499.99 it doubles as a 16W Bluetooth speaker with RGB lights that sync to your beats.

TCL’s new A1 projector includes rainbow LED lights on each side that pulse to music or “your favorite Google TV app.”

Would you sacrifice a USB-C port for this volume control you can swipe?

The $15 SoundSlide solves a problem that few would consider an actual problem. It replaces a computer’s volume buttons with a customizable touch-sensitive slider that can be operated using finger swipes. For those who miss volume wheels, it might be worth the upgrade. For everyone else, sacrificing a USB-C port for the SoundSlide might be too big an of an ask.

The SoundSlider attached to the USB-C port on the side of a laptop.

Tired of pressing buttons? The SoundSlider lets you adjust your computer’s volume with a finger swipe.

JVC’s new open earbuds are smaller and cheaper than Bose’s Ultra Open.

Borrowing the design of Bose’s open-style earbuds, the JVC Nearphones attach to the side of your ear and position a 10mm driver inside so you can hear your music plus everything else around you. They’re smaller and lighter than the $299 Bose Ultra Open, and at $99.95 they’re a more affordable solution if you find regular earbuds uncomfortable.
