Apple AirPods Max (2020) Review: Insanely Great, Insanely Expensive

wired.com Parker Hall 2025-12-29 22:00:00

As the pandemic wheezes on, noise-canceling headphones have gone from being a tool for jet-setting business types to a requirement for work-from-home sanity. From the excellent new on-ear Beats models to the in-ear AirPods Pro (8/10, WIRED Recommends), Apple’s been making some of the best noise-canceling headphones for some time now. But in the tradition of a man named Jobs, some of the best won’t do. And so, with their bespoke aluminum ear cups, perfectly balanced volume knob—and $550 price ta

A Premium Luggage Service’s Web Bugs Exposed the Travel Plans of Every User—Including Diplomats

wired.com Andy Greenberg 2026-01-02 20:00:00

An airline leaving all of its passengers’ travel records vulnerable to hackers would make an attractive target for espionage. Less obvious, but perhaps even more useful for those spies, would be access to a premium travel service that spans 10 different airlines, left its own detailed flight information accessible to data thieves, and seems to be favored by international diplomats. That's what one team of cybersecurity researchers found in the form of Airportr, a UK-based luggage service that p

The GOP's Message for Tech Billionaires: Be Like Peter Thiel

wired.com Jake Lahut 2026-01-02 02:00:00

The unholy alliance between Silicon Valley and the Republican Party is no longer new. Between Elon Musk’s descent upon Washington, the number of Big Tech billionaires flying in to kiss President Donald Trump’s ring, and the expansion of the role of companies like Palantir in the US government, former president Joe Biden’s warning about the impending oligarchy has certainly borne out. All of this raises a question: Six months into Trump’s presidency, just how important are Silicon Valley billion
