Waveform: The MKBHD Podcast

This week, Marques and David dig into the big news of the week. They start off talking about Android XR, which is the new headset that Google and Samsung made to take on the Apple Vision Pro. Then they get into everything that happened with DeepSeek before talking about the return of the Pebble smartwatch! After that, they play "Something? Or Nothing?" again with a few wildly different news stories that may or may not be interesting. Of course, we wrap it all up with trivia. Enjoy!

This week, Ellis sits down with Andrew and David to discuss everything Apple Vision Pro! It has been almost exactly one year since the Apple Vision Pro was first released, so we thought it'd be a good idea to talk with actual developers about what they like and don't like about building apps for Apple's new device. Enjoy! P.S - Thanks so much to Grégoire Lemoulant and Cihat Gündüz for taking the time to speak with us!

This week, Marques is out filming a top secret video but we still have Andrew and David (and even Ellis for a little) stepping up to hold down the pod. First, they talk about everything that happened last week from the TikTok chaos to the official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement before getting into the new Samsung Galaxy S25 devices. Even Marques drops in via pre-recorded video to give his thoughts. Then we finish it up by recommending a few of our favorite apps we've been enjoying. It's a chaotic one, but enjoy!

This week, Marques, Andrew, and David start things off with the Model Y refresh (naturally, there are conflicting opinions) before digging deep into the potential TikTok ban. After that, it's all about the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement! We recorded this the day before the announcement but thankfully all of the most recent leaks that were discussed ended up being true! What luck. After that, we end it all with a new game that Adam is calling "Crown and Clown" before wrapping it all up with trivia. Enjoy!

We're back! After a nice break for the holiday Marques, Andrew, and David waste no time getting right back into the newest gadgets and announcements. With Ellis and Adam both out sick, Mariah is in control of the producer table so you know it's going to be a good one. First, everyone gives a quick update on what they did over the break before venting about Qi2 wireless charging in upcoming Android phones. Then it's all about CES where they talk about everything from weird vacuum robots to the new Nvidia announcements and even some new wonky screens from LG! After that, it's all about the cars of CES including Afeela, Faraday Future, and even Honda. Of course, we wrap everything up with some trivia. Enjoy!
