Jabra Evolve3 85 MSRP $650.00 “A deceptively stylish and feature-loaded business headset.” Pros Comfy design and premium build Excellent voice clarity Long-haul battery life Wireless charging is a cool perk Sufficiently good sound quality Replaceable battery Cons Missing desktop app Extra cost for wireless pad They are pretty pricey ANC and tuning could’ve been better Quick Take Jabra says the Evolve3 85 is the best headset for modern work, and to a large extent, those claims are functionally justified. It breaks the mold of dull, utilitarian business headsets with an unbelievably premium look and feel. It’s lighter than its predecessor,…
Bowers & Wilkins is kicking off the warmer months with a fresh wave of color across its flagship headphone and earbud lineup. The British audio brand has introduced new finishes for three of its most celebrated products, the Px8 S2, Px7 S3, and Pi8, bringing the total portfolio to 21 variants. Despite the expanded color range, the audio performance that made Bowers & Wilkins a household name among audiophiles remains the same. New colors for the Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 and Px7 S3 headphones Starting at the top of the range, the flagship Px8 S2 gets two new finishes:…
For years, Apple has set the naming conventions for the smartphone industry, and now, it has decided that ‘Pro’ no longer cuts it at the very top. An exclusive report from Macworld claims that the company is expanding its Ultra branding beyond the Apple Watch and Mac chips: an iPhone Ultra and a MacBook Ultra are apparently on the cards. What exactly is the iPhone Ultra? Rumors about the iPhone Ultra or the company’s first foldable have been circulating online for quite some time. The report simply adds more weight to the name. But this also means that Apple won’t…
I won’t pretend I’m above it — I watch Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts like everyone else, and it usually starts small. A notification pops up, I unlock my phone, and I tell myself I’ll just check one thing. The next moment, I’m deep into a stream of random videos, with no idea how I got there or how much time has quietly slipped away. I’ve genuinely tried to fix it — I set app timers and convinced myself I’d follow them. I even removed Shorts from my YouTube feed, thinking that would finally solve it. I tried apps that…
For the longest time, Motorola has existed in a strange space. It wasn’t irrelevant, but it also wasn’t really competing. Its phones were decent, sometimes even likable – but rarely serious contenders. That’s what makes the Motorola Signature feel different. For once, this isn’t a “good for Motorola” phone. It’s just… good. And that’s both refreshing and slightly frustrating. That being said, this isn’t a revolution. It’s something arguably more important for Motorola: a correction. A correction that will probably define its future smartphones. Build Quality That Reflects Engineering Discipline The first thing that stands out about the Motorola Signature…
The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D is down to $573.99 in a limited-time deal, a $125 saving off its $699 list price, and it represents something AMD hadn’t offered before: a 3D V-Cache processor with a high enough core count to handle demanding creative and professional workloads without sacrificing the gaming performance that cache stacking delivers. For anyone running one machine for everything, this is the processor the 9000 series has been building toward. What you’re getting The distinction worth making upfront is what separates the 9950X3D from the 7800X3D and 9800X3D. Where the 7800X3D/9800X3D are focused gaming processors that trade…
Nobody likes paying for a full year of app subscriptions upfront, especially when you’re not sure whether you’ll still be using them in a few months. Apple has heard that frustration, well, sort of. The company has announced a new App Store subscription type: monthly billing at an annual equivalent price. Sounds amazing, right? But there’s a catch. Monthly billing is locked in for a 12-month commitment period. What does the new subscription type actually offer? Instead of choosing between a relatively more expensive monthly plan or a discounted annual payment (that’s how most apps lure customers to go for…

The company’s new controller is dropping next week for a $99 price tag, which makes it a premium gaming controller.

While the company first confirmed its broader hardware push a while back, only the Steam Controller is launching on May 4, 2026. Meanwhile, the Steam Machine and Steam…
Season 2 of House of the Dragon was a slow-motion tragedy. Seasons 1 and 2 were packed with misunderstandings, power plays, and a civil war that kept threatening to explode but never quite did. Eight episodes of carefully arranged chess pieces, and by the time the finale arrived, the most dramatic thing that happened was Alicent sneaking off to Dragonstone to strike a secret deal with Rhaenyra to put an end to the Targaryen civil war. It was a good scene, but it also meant the actual war everyone tuned in for was still waiting in the wings. The season…
