The Beats Studio Pro is down to $169.95 at Amazon right now in a limited-time deal, which is $180 off the $349.99 list price. That’s a 51% cut on a pair of over-ear headphones that offer active noise canceling, 40-hour battery life, and USB-C lossless audio in a package that works equally well with Apple and Android devices. It’s a lot to like at under $170. What you’re getting The Studio Pro is the most fully featured headphone Beats has put out, and a lot of that comes down to the USB-C lossless audio capability, which is a genuine differentiator…
If you’ve ever squinted at your ROG Xbox Ally X’s screen and thought that it could be a little sharper, Xbox (and Microsoft) heard you, loud and clear. In April 2026, the handheld gaming PC will get a free software update that will make your games look better. No hardware updates or additional costs included. Xbox will release a feature called Automatic Super Resolution or Auto SR — Microsoft’s AI-powered answer to Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR — which upscales video games from 720p up to 1080p or more (via Windows Central). What does the Auto SR feature do? The…
I have my issues with WWE 2K26 that you can read all about in my review, but when I don’t have to engage with the content that bugs me the most, it’s still a fun time. With the Road to Wrestlemania in full swing, ’tis the season to throw down in 2K’s annual wrestling sim. And if you hate the game’s sim-style gameplay, I highly recommend going into the menus and turning off all of the mini-games, stamina, and weight detection to make it closer to an arcade experience. Now that the review period is over, I’ll continue unlocking Ringside Pass…
Smartphone enthusiasts like me will never forget the time when modular phones were about to change everything. Whether it was Google’s canceled Project Ara or the more popular Moto Z series, nothing really panned out as well as the Fairphone, but even it isn’t as mainstream as some other brands. So, most users just live with their non-modular smartphones on a day-to-day basis, having already grieved about the idea that once raised plenty of hopes. Well, about that, an upcoming foldable could change that conversation entirely. What exactly is Xiaomi cooking? I’m talking about the Xiaomi Mix Fold 5. Early…
I used to be of the opinion that MacBooks are relatively safer than other laptops, but I have been proven wrong. Embarrassingly and demonstrably wrong. A new report from Sophos X-Ops has spared no effort in rubbing my nose in it. Researchers at the firm tracked three separate attack campaigns between November 2025 and February 2026, all of which targeted macOS users with something called the MacSync infostealer. For those catching up — it’s a type of malware that quietly rifles through your passwords and saved credentials, acting like a digital pickpocket. So, how does it actually work? The malware…

Guitar Hero and Rock Band ruled my life for a long stretch of time. I poured thousands of hours into those franchises, and probably even more dollars as I accumulated as much DLC as possible. I even played competitively in tournaments for a couple of years. Today, I still mourn the loss of the genre, which is why I was exhilarated to meet with Echo Foundry Interactive, a team consisting of former developers of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and other rhythm games, to see their upcoming title, Sound System.Sound System plays much like the classic Guitar Hero games that introduced…

Last year’s launch of Nintendo Switch 2 ushered in a new era for the most iconic name in video games, and while Nintendo was building its nascent platform, it chose a game about destroying everything in sight to be one of its flagship titles. That game was Donkey Kong Bananza, which arrived from the team that released another game that helped bring Nintendo into a new era in 2017: Super Mario Odyssey. Donkey Kong Bananza stood alongside Mario Kart World, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Kirby Air Riders, and others to announce the Switch 2’s presence as a continuation of Nintendo’s most…
