Nothing has a new pair of earbuds for you: the Ear 3. These AirPods-style buds cost $179 and are available now, following the Nothing Phone (3) and Headphone (1) the company released this summer. While they share the stem design aesthetic of Apple's popular earbuds, the blend of aluminum and plastic sure makes them look unique. The key feature in the noise-canceling earbuds is called Super Mic. Except it's not in the earbuds at all—there are two microphones in the charging case. It supposedly c

The company said it would not increase prices for accessories such as controllers and headsets, and that prices in other countries would stay the same.

Microsoft is making Xbox consoles even more expensive in the US

Starting on October 3, Microsoft says Xbox consoles will be getting yet another price bump, this time ranging anywhere from a $20 increase on the company's entry-level model to $70 for a special edition model with 2TB of storage. If all of this sounds familiar, there's a good reason, the last time xbox prices were raised was only a few months ago in May. The price increases breakdown as follows: Xbox Series S (512GB): $400, up $20 from $380 Xbox Series S (1TB): $450 up $20 from $430 Xbox Ser
