LG StanbyME 2 — a screen that follows you to the next room

Multipoint keeps two Bluetooth devices connected, making the move from a tablet video to a phone call less fiddly. Adaptive noise cancelling and the Ambient Aware and TalkThru modes give you different ways to handle surrounding sound without continually taking the headphones off. App EQ lets you shape the sound to your taste, and the folding design takes less room in a bag between listening sessions.

TV dialogue can get lost in a busy mix. The SB510 gives speech its own channel and keeps the subwoofer inside the bar, making it a tidy upgrade for a smaller living room. Bluetooth also lets it play music from a phone. Check your TV connection and the 37-inch bar width before buying.

The motorized view is useful when a fixed camera leaves corners out of frame. Motion controls and Live View help you check in from the Ring app, while the manual cover gives you a clear way to pause audio and video. Review Ring’s current subscription terms if saved recordings matter to you.
