  • Abstract:  The AirPods Pro wireless earbuds may be all the rage these days for those heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem, but they'll set you back at least $190 online these days (down from their MSRP of $259). However, if you have a more modest budget, the seco...

  • Abstract:  It was September of 2016 when Apple decided to get rid of the 3.5mm headset socket from its iPhones, and the world hasn't been the same since. The Cupertino giant's contention was that the future of audio is wireless, and to that end, the company also unv...

  • Still no active noise cancellation, Siri requires a data connection to work, No waterproofing
  • There's a simple reason the original AirPods became my go-to headphones: predictability. Flip open the case, slot an earbud into my ear, and just get on with listening to music or answering a call. AirPods 2 build on that with increased wireless reliabili...
