This Diwali, skip the usual sweets and sweaters and surprise your loved ones with a gift that truly sparks joy. From budget-friendly 5G smartphones like the Redmi A4 5G and Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G, to entertainment-ready tablets such as the OnePlus Pad Lite and Lenovo Idea Tab, there's something for everyone during the festive sale. Fitness enthusiasts will love smartwatches like the Redmi Watch 5 Lite or Noise Pulse Hyper,
When I have to decide which wireless gaming earbuds that I want to use, it's a tough choice between the SteelSeries Arctis Buds and the Sony InZone Buds. Both have a comfortable fit, active noise cancellation, great sound quality, and their USB-C transmitters work with every non-Xbox platform in my apartment. But it's easy to tell you which of the two you should buy right now, if you're in the market:
From the start, Nothing was designed to be an antidote to Apple and its omnipresent AirPods. While Apple focused on a sort of all-purpose minimalism, Nothing adopted a hallmark transparent look that, if not altogether disparate (both pairs of wireless earbuds have a similar stem design), at least gave its Ear products a unique design language. That quest for being different extended into features, too. In 2023, Nothing introduced personalized EQ, giving it a visual and technological difference over Apple's AirPods
At the heart of the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds is CustomTune technology, a breakthrough system that adapts sound and noise cancellation to the unique shape of the listener's ears. By calibrating in real time, these earbuds create a truly personalized listening experience, ensuring that music, podcasts, and calls sound balanced and clear no matter who is wearing them. This feature elevates the Ultra Earbuds above most competitors, offering a level of customization rarely seen in consumer audio.
They were both well received and proved popular with buyers, perhaps helped by their quirky yet super-comfy square shape. Still, many reviewers-myself included-noted that they seemed to lack features like advanced codecs, wear sensors, and customizable controls that came standard on similarly priced alternatives from the big brands. The bigger issue, however, was that the Between 3ANC's noise canceling and sound quality fell short.
When the AirPods battery runs out, simply dock them into the charging cable slot and connect them to the phone with the USB-C cable.
