The Best headphones under $100 are harder to find than you might think. Here at WIRED, it's part of our job to listen to music all day, often on exceedingly fancy and bonkers-expensive models. We have playlists for testing bass, for assessing detail, for dance parties—we get way into it. But believe it or not, we like testing the cheap stuff just as much. It's like a treasure hunt to find the best cheap headphones. And they're getting better every year. That doesn't mean our work is done; retai

Nothing Headphone 1 vs. AirPods Max: Which Over-Ear ANC Headphones Win?

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-21 05:00:25

Sometimes, picking a pair of headphones feels like an impossible choice. There are lots to choose from, and the barrier to entry is enough to send haptic chills down one’s spine. If there’s one thing that most can agree on, it’s that Apple’s AirPods Max are probably the standard for people considering headphones in the U.S., especially if you already own an iPhone. But AirPods Max are so damn expensive, right? Is it worth shelling out $550 for a pair of headphones when competitors like Nothing’s

SkyRover X1 may be a DJI drone in disguise, amid US soft ban on Chinese drones

techspot.com Skye Jacobs 2025-12-25 04:18:00

In context: When the SkyRover X1 drone appeared on Amazon, it arrived with little fanfare but quickly captured the attention of enthusiasts and industry analysts alike. Priced at $758 and offering a feature set strikingly similar to DJI's well-known Mini 4 Pro, the X1 stood out in a market now conspicuously lacking official DJI drones. That fact alone made its debut noteworthy as major US retailers and online platforms had largely run out of DJI products, leaving would-be buyers with few mainst

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR Google has become the fourth-largest smartphone shipper in the US, according to Q2 data. Shipment figures are being skewed by manufacturers racing to stockpile amidst volatile US tariff policies. India now supplies 44% of US-bound phones as brands shift production away from China due to higher trade risks.

The Best 360 Camera Maker Is Making an ‘Immersive’ Drone and DJI Should Be Very Worried

DIY flyers have been slapping 360 cameras onto drones for years now. But what if said 360 camera did more than film sideways, slantways, longways, and backways? Insta360, maker of some of the most popular 360 cameras, has declared it’s now making a drone that promises “immersive” flights thanks to a camera apparatus with two fisheye lenses.

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
