CES 2009: Westinghouse's new 120HZ 1080p LCD HDTVs, LCD monitors [day 3]

Westinghouse Digital gets a bit of the short stick at CES, stuck in the shadow of such high-profile HDTV manufacturers such as Panasonic, Sony and Samsung. Still, the company's got some new HDTVs (that, fingers crossed, I'll be able to play with tomorrow), as well as new LCD displays from...

Ultrasone Edition 8

We've reviewed a number of Ultrasone headphones over the years--everything from iPod-inspired iCans to the luxurious HFI-2200s. But the new Edition 8s are, in so many ways, a very different Ultrasone. First, the Edition 8s have, according to Ultrasone, a completely original design that doesn't share any parts with...

Sennheiser HD 800

Model changes at the upper end of Sennheiser's headphone line don't happen very often. The previous flagship--the still available HD 650s--were introduced in 2003, and remain in the line.

Onkyo HT-RC160

Photo gallery:Onkyo HT-RC160Comparing the features of competing AV receivers is already a difficult chore, but many manufacturers, such as Denon and Yamaha, invite more complexity by offering two lines of nearly identical AV receivers: a custom-install-friendly line and a more-consumer-based line.
