Nothing’s New Wireless Earbuds Have a ‘Talk’ Button, and I Need to Know What That Means

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-06 09:03:27

Buttons are in right now—at least if you’re a designer at Nothing, they are. On its Headphone 1 (the first pair of Nothing-made over-ear headphones), there are all sorts of doodads. A paddle for track selection; a tic-tac-shaped wheel/button for volume and ANC; a pairing button (okay, this one is boring, but still, it’s a button). Even on its recently released Phone 3, there’s a button on the back of the phone for doing really useful stuff with its “Glyph Matrix,” like… playing spin the bottle.

I Held Apple's Wildly Thin iPhone Air. I'm Both Impressed and Intrigued

Apple debuted its super-slim iPhone Air on Tuesday, and after getting my hands on the device at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, I can confirm it's quite striking to hold. At just 5.6mm thick and 165 grams, it's one of those phones you may just have to feel to understand its appeal. I look forward to finding out if what's on the inside lives up to that show-stopping design.

DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress Review: Support and Value

It was on my short list of favorites then, and its newest iteration, released in May, still is. This is no small feat, especially given the current supply-chain issues, tariffs, and price increases, all of which can affect the materials (and thus, the performance) of a mattress.

As part of its unprovoked invasion, Russia has been firing massed waves of drones and missiles into Ukraine for years, though the tempo has been raised dramatically in recent months. Barrages of 700-plus drones now regularly attack Ukraine during overnight raids. Russia also appears to have upped the ante dramatically by sending at least 19 drones into Poland last night, some of which were shot down by NATO forces.
