Open-ear design earbuds have been gaining in popularity, likely because active noise-cancelling tech has gotten so good that people have forgotten what the world around them sounds like and don't want to shut it out anymore. The Ultra Open Earbuds are Bose's attempt at riding the trending tech wave, and they're a pretty good option at that, earning an 8/10 from our colleagues at CNET. And at their current price of $199.99 (originally $299.99), they are also something of a steal. This is the lowest price they've yet reached, according to price-tracking tools, and they are available in seven different colors.  Open-ear designs are not ...

If old-school Atari games like Pac-Man, Centipede, and Asteroids unlock a deep childhood nostalgia for you, check out the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Go. This handheld gaming device is packed with 200 games and is currently on Woot for an all-time low price of $129.99 (originally $179.99). CNET praised the devices “crazy array of controller options,” though it cautioned that some games you might remember fondly have actually aged quite poorly. While there aren’t detachable controllers, the 7-inch screen is bigger than the original Nintendo Switch, and it has the classic D-pad and shoulder buttons as well as a rotating dial, a physica...

If you’ve been wearing a Whoop, you’ve probably explored some of the features of its incredibly rich app—but chances are, some things are still hiding from you. I’ve been wearing a Whoop off and on since version 3.0, so let me tell you some of the best ways to use the Whoop (and a few things I think you should do differently than you’re “supposed” to).  Use the Whoop's strength trainer after (not during) workoutsI’m going to start off with my strongest opinion, and you’re free to disagree: Whoop’s strength trainer is a pain the butt to use during workouts, but you get all the benefits with less hassle if you use it to attach a workout after you finish recording your gym session. The Strength Trainer knows what exercise...

In the early '90s, Bram Stoker's Dracula earned prizes for its costumes and makeup, and the 2000 meta horror comedy Shadow of the Vampire scored a couple of nominations, but that's about it—despite the influence of the genre stretching all the way back to 1922's Nosferatu. Until now.Sinners, writer/director Ryan Coogler's critical and box office powerhouse, is an unashamedly high-minded genre flick. Set largely in 1932, it follows twin brothers (both played by Michael B. Jordan) returning to their backwater hometown of Clarksdale, Mississippi to establish a juke joint while navigating old relationships and dealing with the Klan leader who owns the sawmill they are look...

On Wednesday, Apple unveiled its long-rumored "low-cost" laptop, the MacBook Neo. To get to its attractive price point, the machine cuts some corners—it runs an iPhone chip, rather than a Mac chip; it only has 8GB of RAM; the keyboard lacks a backlight; the base model doesn't come with Touch ID. But none of that really matters when Apple is offering you a brand-new MacBook for just $599—or $499 if you buy through the Education Store. (Given the company doesn't actually require proof that you're a student or teacher to shop the Education Store, the Neo, is, effectively, a $500 MacBook. Wild.)If I were any other computer company, I'd be nervous right now. Apple is, of course, a giant player in the computing space already, but it isn't the largest. In fact, it's really in fourth, behind Dell ...

It's time for another Apple event! On Wednesday, March 4, Apple will announce new products, and despite the company's commitment to secrecy, we know what most of the revelations are already. In fact, Apple has already announced a number of new products this week in lead up to the event, including the iPhone 17e, M4 iPad Air, and new Macs—including M5, M5 Pro, and M5 Max variants. But even though the company has already shared a bunch of news across Monday and Tuesday, that doesn't mean Wednesday's event is going to be a bore. In fact, Apple may announce one of its most interesting products in years during its March 4 keynote: the MacBook "Neo." This is a "budget" MacBook, smaller in size than the 13-inch MacBook Air, that may come in a variety of fun colors. Imagine the iPods of old, but n...

If you're an Android user, you can now design what shows up on your contacts' caller ID when you make calls in the Google Phone app. The Calling Cards feature is getting an upgrade that brings it more in line with Apple's customizable Contact Poster on iOS. Google's Calling Cards updateGoogle first introduced Calling Cards for the Google Phone app last year, which allowed users to manually create full-screen calling cards for individual contacts with photos and customizable text. The feature was originally designed to have these cards show up on your device when contacts call you, but it didn't allow you to create your own card to broadcast when you call other users. Now, you'll be able to select a photo and add text with customizable fonts and font colors for your own personal Calling Car...

I didn't understand the need for a power station until this past winter gave me a rude awakening. Although I ultimately didn't lose power, the prep for that what-if scenario of facing freezing temperatures without power was enough for me to decide to get one. While I went with the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus, I should have waited, because the more powerful EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 is $1,999 right now—a steep 46% discount from the $3,699 list price. This is its lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools. While I haven't had a chance to put the power station to the test during a full blackout, I am impressed by the functionality of...

The Nintendo Switch 2 costs significantly more than its predecessor, the Steam Deck is out of stock in most regions, and the Xbox handheld is prone to bugs. Plus, they're all huge. Lenovo has been one of the better companies in this space of late, releasing two of my favorite gaming handhelds running, but the company apparently isn't done with handhelds yet. At Mobile World Congress, Lenovo showed off its newest concept, the modular Legion Go Fold handheld, a device that tries to solve pretty much every problem in gaming handhelds through one neat trick: It's also a foldable tablet.
