The Best Cheap Headphones We’ve Tried

wired.com Parker Hall 2025-12-26 12:00:00

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

OpenAI has kept up a run of new releases—putting out major updates to its GPT-4 series, launching a string of generative image and video models, and introducing the ability to talk to ChatGPT with your voice. Six months ago it kicked off a new wave of so-called reasoning models with its o1 release, soon followed by o3. And last week it released its browser-using agent Operator to the public. It now claims that more than 400 million people use its products every week and submit 2.5 billion prompt

Tushar Mehta / Android Authority Drawing is the oldest form of human expression, dating back to a time far older than writing. I, as a visual learner, rely heavily on illustrations or sketching out things like a prospective DIY furniture project or even cable management under my desk to visualize better.

Though our attitudes may sometimes gravitate more towards acceptance than full-on embracing that change, swallowing that pill can be a lot easier if we feel reassured that we’re moving in a positive direction — that we’re at least going to get some benefit from the change.

Maybe they should change the button to say, "I am a robot"? On Friday, OpenAI's new ChatGPT Agent, which can perform multistep tasks for users, proved it can pass through one of the Internet's most common security checkpoints by clicking Cloudflare's anti-bot verification—the same checkbox that's supposed to keep automated programs like itself at bay.
