Major wireless carriers: A necessary evil if you travel a lot, have a family, or are just interested in coverage that’s reliably consistent and widespread. AT&T is the third-largest provider in the US (first for 5G), with the largest coverage map. I’ve had various AT&T plans for more than a decade, first for just myself and now for my whole family, even though I only get one cell bar at my house and have to stand in one 5-square-foot patch of yard to make a phone call.

HyperX’s claims its latest headset lasts 250 hours on a single charge

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-15 16:51:25

HyperX has announced its latest flagship wireless gaming headset, and once again , the brand’s primary mission statement seems to be chasing eternal life for headphone batteries. The Cloud Alpha 2 will last, according to its maker, for up to 250 hours on a full charge. While that number halves if you make use of the headsets’s simultaneous Bluetooth connectivity, a more than 10-day battery life is impressive for any wireless headset.

However, this model, like Shokz's step-up OpenFit true-wireless earbuds, doesn't use bone-conduction technology.

OnePlus Buds 4 vs. Nothing Ear: Which Pair of Wireless Earbuds Wins?

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-30 06:00:23

There are so many wireless earbuds. No, for real. As someone who tests out earbuds on a very regular basis, I can tell you firsthand just how crowded the market is. That’s fine if you’re easy and just want a pair of AirPods, but for anyone who wants to dig deeper into what’s out there—whether for design or compatibility reasons—a crowded field makes research a nightmare. And that research headache doubles when two pairs of earbuds are similarly priced. Luckily, as someone who has used entirely
