Audiophiles, here’s something for you to get excited about: the KAKKOii WOW portable, wireless Bluetooth speaker. This little gem of a device, which was created by London designer Antonio Arevalo, brings both functionality and style to any place you want to hear your music. Want to listen to Mozart while cooking dinner, Jay-Z when working out, or something to rock out to while taking a shower? Now you can do so with ease, thanks to the fact that you can listen to your favorite playlists in any room in your house. Better yet, you can even bring the WOW speaker with you to the beach or the ballpark.

The WOW — an acronym for With-Out-Wires — speaker is made of durable silicone and comes in six poppy shades — pink, red, blue, yellow, white and black — so you can pick the one that suits your decor and personality.  Its conical shape allows you to change its position for three different types of sound. Prop it face up for 360 degrees of sound, on its side for directed sound and face down to muffle it.

The  KAKKOii WOW speaker has a Bluetooth connection with up to a 33-foot wireless range. In addition it has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts for up to four to six hours. Best of all, it automatically goes silent when you receive a phone call, so you don’t have to worry about fumbling with the speaker. When you’re done with the call it auto plays.

Finally, a portable speaker device that looks just as good as it sounds.

The White Lotus was one of the biggest surprises in HBO's recent history. The series was initially devised as a self-contained story that could be filmed in compliance with COVID, and it's since become one of the most popular series in the company's repertoire. We already know that a third season is on the way and will feature another star-studded cast, but what about a potential season 4?

According to reporting in Variety, a fourth season of the show is percolating at HBO, but it hasn't officially been announced yet. “Mike, obviously — if he wants to move forward and do the four seasons — he will do the fourth season,” HBO head Casey Bloys said.

Denis Villeneuve says he ‘absolutely believes’ in ‘Dune: Messiah’ as he develops the script
The exact timing for the potential trilogy capper remains under wraps.
Timothee Chalamet in Dune Part 2

Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune has been more successful than many who have loved the Frank Herbert novel for decades could have dreamed. Dune: Part 1 was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and won a couple, and Part 2 seems to be on a similar trajectory, and also far outgrossed the first installment.

Villeneuve has promised that he will return to the world of Dune one more time to adapt Herbert's sequel, Dune: Messiah, but we don't know exactly when that movie might be coming. In a recent interview with Deadline to discuss Part 2, Villeneuve was hesitant to say too much about the upcoming third installment.

J.J. Abrams' newest thriller is coming soon

Max has become the home to some of the most fascinating and innovative shows on TV. Fans can trust that the HBO-affiliated streamer has tons of originals and plenty of old favorites from trusted creators, and that trend will continue with their newest offering titled Duster. This thriller comes from the mind of the esteemed J.J. Abrams and stars his fellow Lost alum, Josh Holloway, as a getaway driver who must use his skills for the good of the government when the first Black female FBI agent in American history asks him for her help (the agent will be played by Rachel Hilson). The show is a period piece taking place in the 1970s. It hasn't been revealed how any of the main events of the decade will be incorporated into the plot of the series.

Like a lot of shows that have been teased for the coming months, Duster doesn't have a lot of concrete details out in the open yet. The project has been ongoing for quite some time and was delayed during the Hollywood writers and actors strikes, but a recent teaser trailer has hinted that Duster should finally arrive at an unspecified point in 2025. Here is everything we know so far about Duster.
Who is starring in Duster on Max?
