The rumored and now essentially confirmed -- though still unannounced -- Pixel Buds A-Series true wireless earbuds have been leaked by none other than Google itself...again. This time around, the product was the subject of a tweet that apparently went live earlier than planned, one that was quickly deleted, but not soon enough to prevent the news from spreading.
Mobee-K's latest pair of USB-C earbuds feature the app for music streaming service Deezer pre-installed -- but it's only meant for certain Samsung Galaxy smartphones. When a Galaxy Note 20, Galaxy S21, or Z Flip owner plugs these headphones into their handset, they'll have the opportunity to install Deezer and get a 'unique' experience with it.
Bowers & Wilkins has introduced its new P15 and P17 true wireless earbuds featuring stunning designs and the promise of high-end audio performance. The models are targeted at audiophiles and include some notable features absent from more casual models, including Adaptive Noise Cancellation and wireless charging support.
Sony has revealed a new, limited-edition set of its popular noise-cancelling headphones, with the WH-1000XM4 Silent White promising a finish that's more than just eye-catching. A fourth color option, the white joins the existing black, blue, and silver options that have been available until now.
There are plenty of noise-canceling headphones on the market today, and what they all have in common is an internal battery that has to be charged periodically. A company called Urbanista has revealed a new set of noise-canceling over-the-ear headphones called the Los Angeles, hailed as the first self-charging, wireless, active noise-canceling headphones. The company claims that headphones can charge themselves from sunlight or indoor lighting.
Audio-Technica, a company known for its high-end personal audio devices, has recalled the charging cases for its ATH-CK3TW true wireless earbuds after receiving multiple reports of overheating 'incidents.' The recall was recently highlighted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which notes that consumers who own the case can get it replaced for free.
Microsoft doesn't just have Surface Laptop 4 to announce today, but a range of new headsets, speakers, and even a standalone webcam for those needing to upgrade their home office. The new accessory lineup is particularly created with Microsoft Teams - the company's own communications platform - in mind.
It seems Google is gearing up to launch a new pair of true wireless earbuds called the 'Pixel Buds A,' at least according to a new leak. The report claims that the Pixel Buds A will arrive with two entirely new color options and that the model will be visually distinguished from the non-A models with some subtle adjustments to the overall color scheme.
Bang & Olufsen is back today with a new pair of Bluetooth headphones that it's calling the Beoplay HX. Like many products we've seen introduced in recent months, the Beoplay HX are at least partially aimed at folks who are working at home during the pandemic, and perhaps may be permanently working from home after it's over. If you're looking for a competitor to Apple's AirPods Max, these could very well be it.
Master & Dynamic has a new set of true wireless earbuds to tempt your ears and torment your wallet, with the MW08 throwing in hybrid active noise cancellation and a promised uptick in sound quality. Successors to 2019's MW07 Plus, the MW08 keep the chunky styling - looking a little like ingots lodged in your ear canals - but go more upscale in the materials.
Before now, the Xbox Series X wasn't expected to be compatible with any sort of VR headset. Xbox head Phil Spencer said as much back in November of 2019, when asked about the platform and any potential VR headset compatibility. They weren't going to include that technology because nobody was asking for it - or so he suggested. Now, the newest official Microsoft-made wireless headset made for the platform has code which mentions a VR headset - and it's live!
With working from home shaping up to be the status-quo for some time to come, even as vaccination spreads, cutting out background noise with a decent set of active noise-canceling headphones is still arguably the easiest route to reintroducing a little domestic bliss. Typically that can be an expensive prospect, but a new promotion on the Sony WH-1000XM4 takes some of the sting out of it.
