AR stands for augmented reality, and if you haven't used AR glasses before, you're in for a real treat. Unlike VR, most AR designs don't wrap around your head. Instead, they look like regular glasses or sunglasses. That's also true of the Rokid Max 2, but what makes them particularly interesting is they have displays..

Candid Review: Rabbit Air A3 ultra quiet air purifier
Charm is not something I've come to expect from minor smart home devices like air purifiers. Sure, most are designed to be sleek.

The MagBeat is a small Bluetooth speaker that attaches to compatible phones via MagSafe but puts out excellent audio comparable to larger speakers. It also doubles as a wireless charger.

Candid Review: FurZapper pet hair remover
