Aside from that it’s mostly a Christmas miracle the NBA Live series is still alive and kicking (its most recent outing on consoles was horrible), NBA Live 18 actually puts up a good fight against its powerhouse of a competitor—even if it does come up short in the end.

Sonos One
Whether it’s playing back operatic arias, blues, jazz, classic rock, electronica, or the Hans Zimmer soundtrack for Blade Runner 2049, the Sonos One fills the room with warm and high-quality sound. I’ve been using it for around a month and have connected it in my bedroom where I like to work and sometimes read. So far, it’s integrated nicely with my existing Sonos system at home while accessing radio and podcasts through the TuneIn app.

Much like Babelfish from Douglas Adam’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, it seemed to translate accurately in real-time and without a hitch during its demo at the Google launch event in San Francisco last year, which is quite impressive.
