Here at WIRED, we approach product reviews a little differently than everyone else. There are literally dozens of places on the web where you can scan all the specs and read about every feature in a new phone or a new speaker. But we try to be more helpful than that. When we write a product review, we tell you what an object is trying to achieve, how it could potentially fit into your life, and whether it's worth caring about—or buying.
Since this publication's birth in 1993, we've been bringing you coverage not only of the latest mainstream products like smartphones and TVs, but also the crazy, boundary-pushing stuff. WIRED is probably the first place you read about 3-D printers and VR headsets[1]. While much has changed over these 25 years, we're still intent on reviewing the best products (and the gloriously odd ones) with insight, wit, and expertise. Personal technology is always marching off into unfamiliar territory. From autonomous robot vacuums[2], to headphones[3] that do real-time language translation, to a smartphone[4] that lets you authenticate your identity using your face, we're here to help you navigate these new frontiers.
So, we've got some good news. We're expanding our coverage to include even more product reviews. By widening our purview and testing more products across a broader range of categories, we'll be able to help you make informed buying decisions about more things in your life. We've hired a staff of expert product reviewers who will be able to recommend the best cameras, parenting products, headphones, e-readers, computers, and outdoors gear, among other things.
As part of this expansion, we're also making our product review pages more beautiful. The reviews pages...
