I used the Beats 360—AirPods Max 2 aren't the best wireless headphones anymore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The AirPods Max 2 are among the best headphones if you consider their overall feature set, and they're even status symbols. They stand out from the latest Bose or Sony headphones and are clearly a flex that shows you have $549 to spend on audio. Even so, they have limitations. They sound good enough, but they're heavy, lack gym-friendly sweat resistance, and lose some of their features if you use Android. The Beats 360 are supposedly a step-down from the AirPods Max. However, the Beats 360 are e
HP's $699 OmniBook 5 boasts OLED and 42-hour battery life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
HP is taking its turn at challenging the MacBook Neo. It's releasing a new OmniBook 5 14 that promises similarly fun colors, but with key upgrades over its main challenger — including potentially gigantic battery life. The company claims the new 14-inch laptop provides as much as 42 hours of battery life when playing local 1080p video. Real-world longevity will likely be less, as HP has the display set to 200-nit brightess (versus a 620-nit peak) and has the Wi-Fi on but not connected. That stil
The 6-month-old Galaxy S26 series is now $100 more expensive (opens the original)

The Galaxy S26 line might be half a year old, but its official price is going up. Samsung has raised prices across the core series by at least $100, with steeper increases at the high end. The 6.3-inch base Galaxy S26 now starts at $1,000 with 256GB of storage, up from $900. The 6.7-inch Galaxy S26+ begins at $1,200 (versus $1,100). Opt for the top-end Galaxy S26 Ultra and you'll pay at least $1,400 versus the $1,300 launch price. Notably, the range-topping 1TB Galaxy S26 Ultra sees a $200 price
Amazon's redesigned Kindle eReaders include its first color Scribe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amazon has revamped its entire Kindle lineup, and there are reasons to take notice even if you're happy with your old model. All of them are easier to carry and more colorful, but the highlight is the company's first color Kindle Scribe. The just-introduced Kindle Scribe Colorsoft centers on a namesake 11-inch color ePaper display that uses the combination of a filter, an LED light guide, and a new rendering engine to deliver "soft" colors while preserving details. Amazon still promises "weeks"
Someone made a Now Playing screen for their turntable using a Raspberry Pi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don't have to give up the conveniences of digital music when you prefer the sound of vinyl, provided you're willing to put in some work. Reddit user Simon Trost has built a Raspberry Pi-based "Now Playing" screen, the VinylPi64, that automatically detects songs playing on your turntable. A Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W at the heart of the project captures a few seconds of music to send to ShazamIO, which returns track details and album art. It then creates a 64x64 layout (for Trost's Divoom Pixoo-64
