Amazon Luna first look: is Amazon's game streaming service worth trying?

Image
Like so many of Amazon’s other projects, Amazon Luna has slowly been building momentum behind the scenes without making much noise.  The game-streaming service was announced last year and, for the most part, hasn’t been the focus for the company over the last few months.  That changed slightly this week when the company said that it would open up early access to Amazon Fire TV Cube and Amazon Fire TV Stick owners, but until this point Luna has been locked behind an invite-only barrier that few have gotten into. So, now that the limited trial is over and the service is open to everyone, is it worth paying $5.99/month (around £4, AU$8) for Amazon Luna?  We went hands-on with the service to give it a spin. Here’s what we found out. Amazon Luna subscription: what do you get?  Regardless of whether or not you have an Amazon Prime account, Amazon Luna’s introductory price is $5.99 per month (around £4, AU$8). That price just gets you access to the basic lineu...

Image
Sonos is a huge player in the world of home audio, with its range of super-connected wireless speakers and soundbars making it a trusted brand for audiophiles and casual music listeners alike.  Now it looks like the audio company is about to enter a new market, after patents and confirmation of a mystery product launch on March 9 have stoked rumors of the first Sonos headphones .  With Sonos’ reputation for putting out excellent speakers and murmurs of integration with its existing multi-room system, expectations for the rumored wireless headphones are high, echoing the hype we saw last year for the arrival of Apple’s first over-ear headphones . In many ways, the Apple AirPods Max lived up to the hype, delivering an excellent sound and unrivaled connectivity with iOS devices – though in other ways they disappointed, lacking basic features despite their incredibly high price.  While the Sony WH-1000XM4 are still the headphones to beat, we’re excited to see how So...

So what's the difference between the two cameras, and which should you buy?
