JBL just turned up the volume (literally).

At the JBL Experience, the global audio brand unveiled its latest lineup of party speakers and portable essentials.

The launch event was a full-sensory celebration, with surprise appearances by Michael Sager and Jackie Gonzaga and a genre battle between DJs that had the crowd vibing all night.

It’s party time!

JBL launched its most powerful battery-powered speaker yet. The PartyBox 520 is built for large gatherings, featuring a splash-proof IPX4 design, a rugged handle, and sturdy wheels so you can roll the party anywhere.

It offers up to 15 hours of playtime, fast-charging, and replaceable batteries to keep the music going nonstop. With AI Sound Boost and Auracast, you get crystal-clear audio and the ability to sync with other JBL speakers wirelessly.

JBL also unveiled the PartyBox Encore 2 and Encore Essential 2, which pack powerful performance in a more portable form.

With Bluetooth 5.4, ergonomic handles, and long-lasting battery life, they’re made for music lovers who are always on the go. The Encore 2 even includes wireless mics for karaoke battles, while the Essential 2 brings dynamic lighting to every beat.

A quick 10-minute charge gives you up to 80 minutes of playtime.

The JBL PartyBox 520 retails for PhP 42,999. Meanwhile, the PartyBox Encore 2 is priced at PhP 24,999 while the Encore Essential 2 comes at a more accessible price tag at PhP 18,999.

Small size, huge sound

JBL has also unveiled the Flip 7. It has been upgraded with an interchangeable finger loop, carabiner hook, and IP68 water and dust resistance.

Expect deeper bass, clearer highs, and up to 16 hours of playtime with Playtime Boost. It also supports Auracast for multi-speaker pairing and is powered by Bluetooth 5.4 for smoother wireless streaming.

Then, there’s the Charge 6 that takes versatility up a notch. With a detachable handle strap, AI Sound Boost, an upgraded woofer, and Auracast pairing, this speaker means business.

It offers an incredible 28 hours of battery life, plus it doubles as a power bank to charge your phone while playing your favorite tracks. Ideal for all-day, all-night playlists.

The JBL Flip 7 retails for PhP 7,999 while the JBL Charge 6 retails for PhP 10,999. Both units comes in different colorways, such as Black, Blue, Funky Black, Pink, Purple, Red, Sand, Squad, and White.

Wake up better

One of the things that really piqued our interest is the JBL Horizon 3. More than an alarm clock, it helps optimize your sleep cycle and wake routine with ambient sunrise alarms, ocean wave soundscapes, and intuitive lighting.

It’s also a powerful Bluetooth speaker with JBL stereo sound, dual passive radiators, FM radio, and now works with the JBL One App for easier control over alarms, EQ settings, and light modes. Designed with minimalism in mind, it’s a sleek and smart addition to any nightstand.

The JBL Horizon 3 retails at PhP 7,699.

LG Electronics Philippines showcased its latest AI-powered OLED, Micro RGB, and QNED televisions at the LG OLED TV Media Launch on October 30, 2026, at the Ayala Museum in Makati City.

Held under the theme “A Canvas of Possibilities,” the event demonstrated how LG’s latest television technologies can enhance home entertainment, gaming, and digital art experiences.

The showcase featured three television lines: the LG OLED evo AI, LG Micro RGB evo AI, and LG QNED evo AI. Each demonstrated different approaches to picture quality, color reproduction, and everyday viewing.

LG highlights its latest TV technologies

The True Cinema showcase highlighted the picture quality of LG’s latest television lineup. The LG OLED evo AI delivered an immersive viewing experience, while the LG Micro RGB evo AI demonstrated its Triple Crown 100% Color Coverage for vibrant, lifelike visuals.

The LG QNED evo AI also showcased its contrast, color reproduction, and motion capabilities, offering another option for viewers seeking an enhanced entertainment experience.

These televisions build on LG’s broader 2026 AI TV lineup, which the company introduced at IFA 2026 in Berlin, Germany.

Among the technologies highlighted was the α11 AI Processor Gen3, which debuted in the LG OLED evo series and extends to ultra-large Micro RGB evo TVs. The processor enables features such as AI Dual 4K Upscaling for sharper images and AI Sound Pro for more immersive audio.

LG also highlighted personalization features, including Voice ID for tailored content recommendations and AI Concierge for content discovery. LG Shield provides an integrated security system designed to protect user information and privacy.

Gaming and digital art take center stage

Beyond traditional television viewing, LG demonstrated how its displays can serve as entertainment hubs for gaming and digital art.

The Ultimate Gaming zone gave guests a closer look at the smooth gameplay experience offered by LG OLED evo AI technology. The gaming-inspired lounge highlighted how display innovations can make interactive entertainment more immersive.

Meanwhile, the Digital Art showcase featured LG OLED evo AI, LG QNED evo AI, and LG Micro RGB evo AI televisions displaying digital artworks through LG Gallery+.

The exhibit demonstrated how televisions can double as digital canvases, allowing users to bring artwork into their living spaces when they are not watching movies or playing games.

Through the launch, LG presented its latest televisions as more than displays for traditional entertainment, highlighting their potential to complement different interests, lifestyles, and creative pursuits.

“Through this launch, we wanted guests to see these innovations for themselves and imagine how they could bring the same experiences into their own homes,” said Yongwoo Park, Media Solutions Product Director at LG Electronics Philippines.

This pop-up sauna brings the steam room experience into your home

HAZEMOR’s Instant Sauna sets up in about a minute and folds into a closet

Published

A home sauna no longer needs a dedicated room or a permanent spot in your house.

HAZEMOR’s new Instant Sauna is designed to bring the steam room experience into smaller spaces. It comes with a pop-up frame that sets up in about a minute and folds away when the session is over.

The portable indoor steam sauna uses the brand’s QuickFlow semi-automatic frame, which opens without tools or separate poles.

Once the frame is locked and its four support legs are raised, the sauna is ready for its steamer. The 1,300-watt unit has a 3-liter stainless-steel tank. It produces steam in about two minutes with hot water or six to eight minutes with cold tap water.

Inside, the temperature reaches up to 131°F (55°C), with adjustable steam levels and a timer for customizing each session. A remote control lets users change the settings without stepping outside the enclosure.

The design takes a brighter approach to the traditional steam tent. Finished in warm beige and champagne tones, the HAZEMOR Instant Sauna has two transparent ceiling panels under its SKY TOP WINDOWS design, which let natural light into the space.

Its three-layer insulated fabric pairs a water-resistant exterior with a heat-retaining middle layer and a soft interior surface.

With interior dimensions of approximately 43 × 43 inches and 71 inches of headroom, the sauna leaves room to sit comfortably.

It comes with a folding chair and floor mat, along with the steamer, steam hose, remote control, squeegee, and carry bag.

Price, availability

For those looking to expand their setup, HAZEMOR also offers a Red & Near-Infrared Light Kit for an additional US$ 149. It includes three 10-watt tubes that combine 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared light.

Storage is factored into the design as well. Folded, the sauna measures approximately 41 × 12 × 12 inches, small enough to tuck into a closet or bedroom corner. Assembled, it needs about 47 × 47 inches of floor space and access to a standard household outlet.

The HAZEMOR Instant Sauna is available now in the United States through the brand’s website for US$ 425. An early-bird price of US$ 319 runs from November 3 to 16, 2026.

Each purchase comes with a one-year limited warranty and a 30-day return window from delivery.
