Nothing’s Headphone 1 Copied the AirPods Max’s Dumbest Accessory, and Now I Actually Need One

Apple’s AirPods Max are iconic for lots of reasons. Firstly, it’s Apple, so they have just a teensy bit of name-brand recognition. Secondly, there’s the sound—Apple’s over-ear headphones might look a little boring, but they sound consistently great. Good enough to actually make a $550 price tag work. There’s also a third iconic aspect, though this one may be notable for the wrong reasons. If you guessed the “iBra” carrying case, congratulations, you win a free ticket to tech nerd jail. As iconi

And while the journey to Christopher Nolan’s adaptation won’t be nearly as perilous, it is certainly off to quite the start. The film opens in theaters July 17, 2026, which is exactly one year from today. And, earlier this week, showtimes for the film began mysteriously showing up on ticketing websites. Surely, no one would sell tickets for a movie a year in advance, right? Only that’s exactly what happened. And it

I found the perfect portable power station for off-grid adventures

EcoFlow River 2 Max. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I love power stations. They're the off-grid adventurer's answer to the power bank. They're a huge box of batteries that can charge USB devices and run gadgets that need AC power. But power stations can be big, weighty things. That's fine if you have a vehicle to haul your gear to your destination, but if you're going on foot, most power stations are just too heavy to lug about.

HBO Max comes full circle, and this time your apps will auto-update

The HBO streaming video app became HBO Max when the company added Warner Bros movies and Turner TV shows.
