The best ultra short throw projectors for 2023

The Hisense PX1-PRO projector.

Home theater projectors are getting better and better, delivering bright, high-resolution images that can bring the theatre experience to your home with sizes that can hit upwards of 120 to 130 inches. But while more and more movie and sports lovers are turning to projectors, setting one up can require a lot of space to allow for the distance that traditional long-throw projectors require, which can be anywhere from 10 to 20 feet depending on the size of image you want.

Short throw and ultra short throw (UST) projectors are becoming more popular because they drastically reduce this distance down to mere inches. And in the case of many UST projectors, like our pick for the best ultra short throw projector, the Samsung LSP9T Premiere, this can be as little as 4.5 inches for a 100-inch image. While UST projectors can be pricey, ranging anywhere from $2,000 to more than $6,000, and often require a screen and a soundbar for a better audio experience, if a big-picture theater-at-home is what you're after, a UST projector is the way to go. With that in mind, we've rounded up what we think are the best ultra short throw projectors on the market right now, hitting a variety of price points.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2’s spatial audio makes me want to ditch the AirPods Pro

OnePlus Buds Pro 2 black case on a cork coaster and black earbuds on a white and gray table top.

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 Bluetooth earbuds are among a half-dozen gadgets OnePlus launched at its Cloud 11 event. These earbuds intend to elevate your sound experience with a rich and highly customizable audio profile, Google's Fast Pair support, high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio through the LDAC and LHDC Bluetooth audio codecs, Dolby Audio, and noise cancellation.

While these features have essentially been carried over -- and slightly improved -- over the first generation of the OnePlus Buds Pro launched last year, the Buds Pro 2 are equipped with spatial audio capabilities that help create a realistic and experiential 3D audio space around you. Along with spatial audio, the earbuds also support head tracking to simulate an ambiance that changes as you move your head around.
