While streaming may be increasing in popularity, there are still plenty of people who prefer satellite radio. Just in time for last-minute holiday shopping, Grace Digital has announced its latest streaming radio, the SiriusXM Sound Station.

“By releasing a Wi-Fi table radio in collaboration with SiriusXM, we’re offering today’s generation of consumers a unique and easy way to stay connected to their favorite shows and channels, live events, concerts, and more,” Grace Digital CEO Greg Fadul said in a statement. “The SiriusXM platform has drastically increased over the years so to keep on trend with ensuring our customers have a full gamut of connectivity options, we wanted to be sure SiriusXM was on the roster.”

Despite the generally small size of the Sound Station, it features a large color display that can show channel information and even album art while playing. This also makes it easy for subscribers to customize their listening experience with the Sound Station’s MySXM feature. Up to 10 favorite channels can be set as well, making it easy to start listening immediately.

Like Grace Digital’s other radios and speakers, the Sound Station offers full-range sound with a built-in equalizer. The Sound Station can be set up anywhere in the user’s home by using Wi-Fi, or via a wired connection when using an optional Ethernet adapter. For those setting up the radio in a bedroom, multiple alarms with sleep and snooze timers are also included.

“This terrific new product from Grace Digital offers room-filling sound, a compact and modern design, and a vivid display to create a rich listening experience for our subscribers,” SiriusXM director of connected home product management Dave Horoschak said. “The Sound Station gives our listeners, many of whom listen to our content in the car and on their mobile devices, another option to enjoy our world class music and programming with high fidelity sound in their home, office, or anywhere an internet connection is available.”

The Grace Digital SiriusXM Sound Station retails for $130, and is available via the Grace Digital website and select retailers including Amazon.

The Beats Pill is back, baby!
A pair of Beats Pill speakers.

In what's been one of the worst-kept secrets of the year -- mostly because subtly putting a product into the hands of some of the biggest stars on the planet is no way to keep a secret -- the Beats Pill has returned. Just a couple of years after Apple and Beats unceremoniously killed off the stylish Bluetooth speaker, a new one has arrived.

Available for preorder today in either black, red, or gold, the $150 speaker (and speakerphone, for that matter) rounds out a 2024 release cycle for beats that includes the Solo Buds and Solo 4 headphones, and comes nearly a year after the Beats Studio Pro.

Ifi’s latest DAC is the first to add lossless Bluetooth audio
Ifi Audio Zen Blue 3 DAC (front).

Ifi Audio's new Zen Blue 3 wireless digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will officially be available to buy for $299 on July 9. When it is, it will be the first device of its kind to support a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs, including Qualcomm's aptX Lossless, the only codec that claims to deliver bit-perfect CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.

Admittedly, there are very few devices on the market that can receive aptX Lossless (and fewer that can transmit it), so it's a good thing that the Zen Blue 3 also works with the more widely supported aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LDHC/HWA codecs (all of which are hi-res audio-capable), plus the three most common codecs: AAC, SBC, and aptX.

The new Beats Pill might replace Sonos on my back porch

If I were to build an outdoor stereo in 2024, I'd do it with a pair of portable Beats Pills instead of Sonos speakers. Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

In 2017, after more than a decade in our home, my wife and I added a pool. With it came a covered deck, making what basically was a new outdoor room. Not uncommon at all in Florida, but new to us.
