The best music headphones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

In theory, all headphones should sound great when you're listening to music, but not all are specifically designed to provide a high-quality music listening experience. That's not always a bad thing, as some headphones are built more to offer lots of features and good noise-cancelation, while others focus more on a sleek and stylish design. Still, some headphones are designed more with high-quality sound in mind. These headphones don't always have excellent noise-cancelation or some of the high

Surfshark vs. CyberGhost: Which VPN should you get?

Allison Murray/ZDNET Surfshark and CyberGhost are consistently ranked among the top VPNs. They are high-value yet relatively affordable VPNs, which is why most users love them. Also: NordVPN vs Surfshark One unique thing about Surfshark is that there's no cap on the number of devices you can connect. It shares a lot with NordVPN, especially from a security point of view. But it's not as streaming-centered as CyberGhost. Also, I had minor but persistent server connection issues with the app, b

Thawing vacuum-packed fish correctly (2024)

Thawing vacuum-packed fish correctly Improper thawing of vacuum-packed fish can lead to a foodborne illness. Learn how to do it safely. Looking for vacuum-packed fish is an excellent way to purchase fish in the grocery store. Vacuum packaging keeps the fish from drying out by preventing water loss; it also can ensure the fish is packaged at peak quality. Vacuum packaging, also called reduced oxygen packaging (ROP), limits oxygen and allows for extended shelf life in the freezer by reducing od

Bus Bunching

When two or more buses are scheduled at regular intervals on the same route, planners may expect that each will make the same progress, pausing at each stop for the same interval (1). But if Bus B is delayed by traffic congestion (2), it incurs a penalty: Because it arrives late to the next stop, it will pick up some passengers who’d planned to take Bus C (3). Accommodating these passengers delays Bus B even longer, putting it even further behind schedule. Meanwhile, Bus C begins to make unusual

Vanishing home field advantage in English football

Do clubs playing at home win more? Home field advantage is well-known to fans of different sports and is well-supported by the data. How prevalent is it in English football? That’s what I’m going to explore in this blog post. A few years ago, I did a similar analysis, but with a much smaller data set (see https://blog.engora.com/2021/01/covid-and-soccer-home-team-advantage.html).

Tesla’s Nightmare Continues as Musk Warns of ‘Rough Quarters’ Ahead

Tesla’s second-quarter earnings paint a grim picture: falling profits, slumping sales, and a reputation hit that keeps on hurting. The all-electric carmaker reported net income of $1.17 billion, down 16.3% from the same period in 2024. Revenue fell 12% to $22.5 billion from $25.5 billion a year earlier, marking Tesla’s second consecutive quarter of declining profits and revenue this year. The cause is clear: Tesla is selling fewer cars and cutting prices to chase demand. Deliveries fell 13.5%

Adorable Triassic Reptile Used its Freaky Back Fin to Communicate

Technological advancements have brought us many things. For paleontologists, it’s introduced the ability to probe softer material—skin, feathers, scales, and hair—found on fossilized creatures. And that’s resulting in some strange new findings about long-extinct animals, showing us that they’re even weirder than we imagined. A paper published today in Nature offers a re-analysis of a fossilized Mirasaura grauvogeli, a 247-million-year-old reptile whose defining feature is a feather-like structu

Trump's AI Action Plan Is Here: 5 Key Takeaways

The Trump administration on Wednesday laid out the steps it plans to take to ensure "global AI dominance" for the US, with an AI Action Plan that calls for cutting regulations to speed up the development of artificial intelligence tools and the infrastructure to power them. Critics said the plan is a handout to tech and fossil fuel companies, slashing rules that could protect consumers, prevent pollution and fight climate change. Though the plan itself isn't binding (it includes dozens of poli

Laptop CPUs in 2025 Explained: What to Know Before Buying Your Next Laptop

Shopping for a new laptop can be a confusing experience. I find the best place to start is with size. Do you want a featherlight ultraportable or a larger model that has a bigger screen but is more of a chore to lug around? Or something in between that offers a balance between portability and productivity? Deciding on factors as straightforward as size actually goes a long way in helping choose more complex parts, including the processor. You'll still be faced with a variety of CPU options, but

Food as Medicine: Try Eating These Foods Next Time You Have a Headache

If you're looking for something other than aspirin to relieve a headache, experts say you should consider what's on your plate. Though eating certain foods isn't a miracle cure for migraines or headaches, it can help alongside hydration, exercise, sleep and stress management. "The most important thing I tell patients is that migraines are highly individualized," says Dr. Nicholas Church, a board-certified member of the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Academy of Family Physici

I May Upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro Max If These 6 Rumors Are True

From the first plus-sized iPhone Pro Max models, I've stuck with the regular configuration because the size and weight suited me better. But for many of those years I couldn't help but look over at my friends enjoying their larger screens and sometimes exclusive camera features like optical stabilization or the 5x telephoto camera. So as we get quickly closer to September when new iPhone 17 models are expected, several leaks about the iPhone 17 Pro Max have caught my attention and made me recons

Florida Is Now a Haven for Unproven Stem-Cell Treatments

Florida is the latest state to sidestep the authority of the Food and Drug Administration by allowing patients to access certain stem-cell treatments that have not been rigorously evaluated and approved. Under a new law that went into effect July 1, doctors in Florida can administer unapproved stem-cell therapies for wound care, pain management, or orthopedic purposes. The law comes amid growing support for medical freedom in the United States, an idea espoused by Health and Human Services secr

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 Review: A Promising Update

It's hard not to like Samsung’s latest folding phones. Now in their seventh generation, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 have reached a level of hardware refinement near perfection for their respective categories. That might sound like something I've been saying for the last several years—after all, every new Fold and Flip has made small tweaks to make them better than their predecessors—but the changes from 2024 feel more drastic. With thinner frames, larger screens, and polished designs,
