SMART DISPLAY
AMAZON ECHO SHOW 8 (2ND GEN)
$129.99 EDITORS’ CHOICE
Smart displays come in all sizes, from bedside clocks to huge screens. The Echo
Show 8 fits nicely in the Goldilocks zone between those ranges, striking a great
balance between value, features, and audio/video power. The second-
generation model is similar to the first, but a new, much higher-resolution camera
makes video chatting and home security monitoring even better.

SMART SPEAKER
SONOS BEAM (GEN 2)
$449.00
The Sonos Beam isn’t the biggest or most powerful soundbar, but it’s one of the
most feature-packed. The second-generation model uses Sonos’ multi-room
speaker ecosystem for plenty of audio mix-and-match potential (within Sonos’
catalog, of course) and features your choice of either hands-free Amazon Alexa
or Google Assistant voice control, while a new audio processor enables
surprisingly immersive Dolby Atmos spatial audio.
