Bose overhauls the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones with lossless audio and longer battery life

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-15 08:00:18

Bose announced a refresh of its QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds over the summer and now it's back with an overhaul of its flagship noise-canceling headphones. The company has employed the second-generation moniker once again on the new QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, but this time the list of updates is a bit more substantial. Bose says it made tweaks to audio performance, active noise cancellation (ANC), battery life, power efficiency and more. Surprisingly, the company managed to make its upgrades w

This Extremely Slim Phone Is Hitting Apple and Samsung Where It Hurts

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-15 08:00:04

You have to travel across the world to find just how Americans are devoid of choice for interesting phones. At IFA 2025, I went hands-on with Tecno’s Slim phone—or at least I tried to hold onto its incredibly thin frame. It’s an apt name for such an irregular phone, one that has me asking whether Samsung and—potentially—Apple need to rethink what people really want from frisbee-light phones. China-based Tecno has a penchant for weird mobile devices. The company recently revealed a Phantom Ultim

Good news for people who love powerful active noise cancellation, aka ANC: Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are back, and they’re getting a few notable upgrades. The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) will open up for preorder starting next week on Sept. 10, and if you’re a fan of listening to headphones wired instead of wireless, this is probably the pair for you. According to Bose, you can hook the QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (2nd Gen) via USB-C instead of a 3.5mm jack, which is ob

Circle to Search Is One of My Favorite AI Tools. Shame It's Not on the iPhone Yet

Every time I use an iPhone, I lament that it doesn't have one of the most practical mobile AI tools: Google's Circle to Search. Until that feature comes to the iPhone -- and I really hope it does soon -- I don't think most people will realize just how useful it can be. Circle to Search is a way to quickly pull up information about anything on your Android phone's screen. Just long-press the home button and then circle, scribble or tap whatever you want to look up.

Foldables have been a staple of the smartphone release cycle for years now, with products from companies such as Samsung, Motorola and Google. Despite the refreshingly unique form factor in a sea of mobile uniformity, the vast majority of consumers still aren't sold. According to a CNET survey, 64% of respondents say they aren't willing or interested in buying a foldable smartphone in the next year, while just 13% say they are.

Why a Skinny iPhone Is the Start of a Radical Change for Apple

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-15 07:00:05

Apple is expected to reveal the iPhone 17 lineup at its event on Tuesday, and that includes a new ultra-thin model, nicknamed by tech analysts as the iPhone 17 Air. But skinny phones face new challenges to woo consumers: a lighter design might feel nicer, but it could make compromises on camera quality or battery life. And a slimmed-down frame doesn't mean a slimmed-down price tag. The so-called iPhone Air is certainly a wild card for Apple to play. A different form factor could steal the spotl

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max back design mystery may be solved ahead of Apple event

Earlier this week, we flagged that despite knowing an awful lot about the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, there was still a major design mystery going into Apple’s “Awe dropping” event. Now new reporting points to a more dramatic splash in that category. There have been two competing rumors around the design of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max backs. Both agree that the camera mound will expand into a full-width camera bar across the top. Where things diverge is the rest of the back: an all-glass cont

We are days away from Apple's "Awe Dropping" event on Tuesday, where we expect the rumored iPhone 17 to be announced. The iPhone 17 will likely be a follow-up to the iPhone 16, which launched in 2024. However, Apple's newest phone, the $599 iPhone 16E, was released in February and offers a unique appeal: Get some of the iPhone 16's best features (a 48-megapixel camera, iOS 18 and an A18 chip for Apple Intelligence) for $200 less than the $799 iPhone 16.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority At Google I/O 2017, Google showed what quickly became one of its most infamous product teases in history: removing a chain link fence from a picture of a child playing baseball. The pitch was that we would soon be able to remove pesky fences automatically from our pictures with the help of computer vision, and it looked like magic.
