Hate the leaked Nothing Phone 3 design? These new leaks are bad news for you

TL;DR New leaked images add weight to the previously leaked renders of the Nothing Headphone 1 and Nothing Phone 3.

My Wife and I Are Never Splitting AirPods Again Thanks to This iPhone Trick

When my wife and I travel, we usually download some shows to watch on our flight. But when we watch those shows, we always have to split a set of AirPods so we each have one earbud. That means one of our ears is enjoying the show while the other is forced to endure whatever is happening around the plane, which can be a little distracting. But thanks to Apple's Audio Sharing feature, we can each enjoy a show together while using our own sets of AirPods. Audio Sharing was introduced with iOS 18 a

Nothing's First Stab at Over-Ear Headphones Leak and They Look Appropriately Odd

Nothing's first pair of headphones has apparently leaked, and it's nearly impossible to assume they could have been designed by any other company. The over-ear headphones look to have more personality than most popular options on the market, and, well, that's very on-brand for Nothing. The company is good at making statement pieces, and has done so with its phones since the beginning. Whether you like the retro-futuristic styling of its products or not is largely a personal preference, but no o

Nothing’s Headphone 1 Might Be Its Riskiest Audio Product Yet

Nothing has lots of wireless audio products at this point—trust me, I’ve covered basically all of them. First, there was the Ear 1, then the Ear 2, then the Ear Stick (RIP), then the Ear, then the Ear A, then Ear Open, and, oh my god, that’s a lot of wireless earbuds. There’s one kind of audio product that it hasn’t ever released, though, and that’s an over-ear pair of headphones. That’s all going to change very soon, according to recent leaks from Nothing_fan_blog on Instagram, which has leaked

Sony Is Practically Giving Away 4.5-Star Rated Wired On-Ear Headphones for Under $10 to Clear Out Stock

Not every pair of headphones needs to have noise cancellation, touch controls, or a premium price tag to be worth your money. Sometimes, the best pair is the one that just gets the job done. That means they produce sound and they connect to your devices. It doesn’t have to get any more complicated than that. If you’re looking for that kind of everyday listening solution, the Sony ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones are worth buying, especially when you can get them at such a great price. Head to

What a set of knockoff headphones taught me about headphones — and knockoffs

As a rule, you should never believe anything you see on social media. And you should really never believe anything someone says in a video with a TikTok Shop link, because they are nakedly trying to sell you something. From candy to headphones to supplements to power tools, TikTok has built a remarkable system: creators post videos promoting or reviewing products, TikTok blasts them onto For You pages everywhere, and when viewers click the link and buy the product, both the creators and TikTok g

Why I recommend these wireless headphones over pricier flagship models

The Newest Marvel/DC Crossover Will Have Some Fun Team-Ups

In May, Marvel Comics and DC finally confirmed they were doing a new crossover for the first time in over 20 years.

Spotify lossless streaming edges closer with new in-app references to ’24-bit’ and FLAC

After years (and years, and years) of waiting and speculation, Spotify’s long-promised lossless audio feature appears to be inching closer to reality. The latest desktop app builds now show multiple references to “Lossless” streaming, giving users the loudest sign yet that higher-fidelity streaming could soon roll out. Here’s what to expect.

Originally Priced at $1,250, These Bang & Olufsen Headphones Now Match The Price Of AirPods Max

Bang & Olufsen is the epitome of the luxury brand of high-end headphones, the firm that reflects both perfect design and celestial sound.

Soundcore ANC Headphones Are Now 14x Cheaper Than AirPods Max, 87K Reviews Make Them Amazon’s Choice

It’d be nice to always be able to afford the best things in life, but sometimes they’re simply not worth it. After all, why spend $200 on something when half of that, or even less, will still get the job done well? One of the places where it’s important to keep this in mind is when it comes to how you listen to music. There are an unfathomable number of headphone and earbud options out there, and while the top-end devices are nice, most of us will be perfectly happy with something more affordabl

Why these headphones are still the best from Bose - even though they're a year old

Jada Jones/ZDNET It's been almost a year and a half since Bose released its latest flagship over-ear headphones, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra.
