Gear News This Week: Adobe hopes to improve iPhone photos, TCL brings flexibility to Atmos
The larger jbuds party ($70) offers 30 watts of power, making it “one of its most powerful speakers at its price”, but according to JLAB, unlike most speakers on this level, it is not completely soaked and offers only IPX6 waterproof. Finally, since every brand requires karaoke speakers, there is a $150 epic party with a 360-degree scale, four 2.5-inch drivers, a 5.25-inch woofer, and up to 16 hours of battery life. Like its siblings, the epic epic has RGB lighting and includes a 3.5mm Aux connection and a quarter-inch jack for adding microphones. All four speakers will work this week and we’ll check them out as soon as possible to see how they stack the best Bluetooth speakers we tested. –Ryan Waniata
TCL Z100 speakers make Atmos sound more flexible
TCL has confirmed the launch of the Z100 more than 18 months after IFA 2023’s first teasing, the world’s first Dolby Atmos FlexConnect speaker. The purpose here is to provide a range of configurations through two to four speakers to emit the atmosphere wirelessly and flexibly.
Since they are wireless, you can place the Z100 speakers in a convenient place in the room and use them with a compatible TCL TVS and any other Z100 sound you have, creating a 5.1.2 channel or 7.1.4-Channel and-innelel andernel Atmos Sound. Each speaker contains four drivers, including one upward shooting, providing 170 watts of total power.
The Z100 is currently compatible with the latest generation of TCL QD-Mini LED TVs (such as the QM6K) and will also double as a Bluetooth speaker (no tremor). It will be available first in France starting in July 2025, followed by further launches in Europe and the United States. –Real burning

You can sync it with existing Hue Lights and Systems, including Hue HDMI Sync Boxes and TV and PC Sync apps. One can set the intensity, speed, brightness, 3D positioning and orientation of the light it emits in a tone application. The single-wall washing machine available this month costs $220, or you can get two packs for $385.
Select Markets already have access to the built-in AI assistant in the HUE app, where you can generate scenes based on your mood or activity, but it will be available worldwide in July and August, including in the U.S. –Simon Hill
