Beats Studio Pro Headphones Are Dirt Cheap, Amazon Wants to Get Rid of Them at Prime Day

There are more than enough wireless headphones with active noise cancellation (ANC) available on the market but they are not all created equal or as comfortable. Even within the same brand, there will be various models available to suit different needs and price points, as with Beats’ Solo 4 and Studio Pro headphones. If you would prefer a premium model at a ridiculously low cost, Amazon is making it happen with the Beats Studio Pro during this Prime Day sale. This deal is exclusive to Prime me

Robinhood CEO downplays OpenAI concerns on tokenized stock structure

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says it's not "entirely relevant" that the trading platform's so-called tokenized shares of OpenAI and SpaceX aren't technically equity in the companies. It comes after OpenAI raised concerns about the product, which is designed to give users in the European Union exposure to various U.S. stocks — including private companies, which are less liquid than publicly listed firms. OpenAI last week warned that Robinhood's stock tokens do not represent equity in the company an

iPhone 17e said to launch next spring, with identical display to 16e

A new supply-chain report suggests that the iPhone 17e will launch next spring, which is in line with previous reporting. It doesn’t sound like the upcoming model will be a major update, with today’s report indicating that it will use the exact same display as the iPhone 16e … This display was itself repurposed from the iPhone 14. One big question when Apple replaced the iPhone SE with the iPhone 16e was whether the new naming scheme pointed to an annual update. The SE had been updated at ran

What to expect from Samsung Unpacked tomorrow: Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Watch 8 Series, more

Kerry Wan/ZDNET Three things are certain when July comes along: backyard barbecues, late-night fireworks, and Samsung Unpacked. Just last month, Samsung confirmed that the next Unpacked event will take place on Wednesday, July 9, in Brooklyn, New York. This follows the host cities of Paris, France, and Seoul, South Korea, over the past two years -- with the company suggesting that it's chosen Brooklyn for its "bold ideas, creativity, and culture."

How I used the Pixel Tablet as my smart home display - and why it's worth it at $150 off

On Amazon, the 128GB Google Pixel Tablet is $150 off for Prime Day, bringing the price down to a more accessible $250. Google's Pixel Tablet marked the company's return to the tablet market after some years (previous efforts included the Pixel C and Pixel Slate). While it was highly praised as a near-perfect Android tablet, its reception was underwhelming.

Why I recommend the $450 Google Pixel 9a over flagship phones that cost twice the price

ZDNET's key takeaways The Google Pixel 9a is the latest midrange phone from the company and retails for $499. It features a new Tensor G4 chip, helpful AI tools, an improved main camera, and the largest battery of any Pixel.

Why I recommend this OnePlus flagship phone over the S25 Ultra - especially at $120 off

ZDNET's key takeaways The OnePlus 13 is a snappy, nearly no-compromise phone that typically starts at $899. A Snapdragon 8 Elite, paired with a 6,000mAh battery and 80W fast charging, is a recipe for endurance success. IP69 is almost excessive, but you'll appreciate it when least expected.

I'm Testing the Nothing Phone 3 and There's One Surprise Feature I Love So Far

I've been testing the Nothing Phone 3 since it was unveiled at an event in London last week. I still like the quirky design, with its transparent back and the Glyph Matrix rear display. It's too early for a full verdict on its processor performance or battery life, but there is one stand-out feature I've noticed that I particularly wanted to highlight. The camera's macro mode. Putting the Nothing Phone 3's macro mode to work. Andrew Lanxon/CNET It's a niche feature to focus on, especially as N

Best Noise-Canceling Headphones for Music and More in 2025

Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2: Bowers & Wilkins released the PX7 S2 headphones in 2022 with some significant improvements over the first-generation version.That was followed by a slightly upgraded version, the PX7 S2e ($400), with the "e" standing for evolved. The audio quality has been slightly upgraded thanks to improved digital processing (the headphones have been retuned), which we assume involves an upgraded chip. You may see this model nicely discounted because Bowers & Wilkins has released the

TSA May Soon Let You Keep Your Shoes On During Security Screening

One of the most annoying parts of the airport security routine -- taking off your shoes -- might soon come to an end for flyers. The US Transportation Security Administration is quietly testing a new policy that allows passengers to keep their shoes on during standard security screening, The Wall Street Journal reports. The change hasn't been formally announced by the agency, but was first reported by Gate Access, a travel newsletter written by a former TSA officer. The TSA did not immediately

Nothing Phone (3) Review: The Designer Phone

I like staring at the Nothing Phone (3). It isn't inherently better than comparably priced smartphones, but it's visually distinct, and let's be honest, a little weird. But weird is good. Phones are fantastic these days, whether you spend $300 or $1,300. When they can all generally do what we expect, aesthetics come to the forefront. From the red recording light on the back of this $799 Android phone to the quirky pedometer widget that tracks your steps via a stick figure, the Phone (3) feels f

Beyerdynamic updated its ’70s-inspired headphones with a big battery boost

Beyerdynamic has announced the second generation of its Aventho wireless headphones, which originally debuted in 2017.

The Aventho 100 are initiall

Nothing Phone (3) review

Carl Pei led electronics manufacturer OnePlus from being a scrappy brand for tech enthusiasts offering affordable phones to one that produces multiple lines of devices, including flagship phones that challenge Samsung and Apple. He is running a similar playbook with Nothing, a five-year-old, venture-backed hardware startup that just launched its most ambitious device, the Phone (3), earlier this month. The phone, priced at $799, is intended to compete with devices from Samsung and Apple. While

My Android Auto was having trouble connecting until I did this one thing

Google / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET A few months ago, I bought into the Jeep cult. One bit of fanciness with this vehicle is its ability to connect to Android Auto. I was excited because I'd never owned a car that could connect to my Android phone and actually make use of it. Of course, the biggest reason I wanted to use Android Auto was for the Spotify connection. My previous auto would allow me to connect my phone, but I had to control the music from the phone itself, which I wouldn't do w

Amazon Is Going All In, The Galaxy S25 Ultra Is Nearly Twice as Cheap as on Samsung’s Official Site

Apple may be the go-to brand on Prime Day with Amazon discounting everything (except the iPhone 16) but in smartphones, there’s yet another giant worth noting—Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Released back in January, the S25 Ultra is the definition of Android top-shelf and until today, it’s hung tough at its MSRP on Samsung’s home page. But on Prime Day, Amazon is coming huge for Prime members, offering a massive $350 instant discount on this premium device: That brings the price down to just $949 fo

Joe Maring / Android Authority Amazon Prime Day is officially upon us, and just like every year, that means there’s a mountain of deals to sift through, including seemingly endless discounts on Android phones. Some of them are great, others are just fine, and there are some you should avoid altogether. As you might imagine, this can make finding the best Android phone deals a pain in the butt. And that’s where I come in. I’ve been reviewing and testing smartphones for over 10 years, and I’ve

iPhone 17 Air to get a ‘barely blue’ color option, suggests leaker

A leaker with a mixed track record has suggested that the “main” color option for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air will be a “very light” blue. They go on to say that the color will be so faint that it will simply appear to be white in some lights. This seems reminiscent of “barely blue” colors we’ve seen from Apple before … Fixed focus digital posted on Weibo: Blue is probably the main color of iPhone 17 Air this time. It is different from all the blue colors released by Apple in the past. The blu

Don't Buy a New iPhone Right Now. Here's Why You Should Wait
