[ad_1] For those touch controls, Audio-Technica put volume adjustments on the left side and track controls on the right. A single tap on the left earbud increases volume while a double tap will lower it. This sounds simple enough, but when you want to turn the audio way down, and you’re in a hurry to […]

Watch Google’s upcoming AirDrop-style file sharing in action
[ad_1] The good news is that it looks like Nearby Sharing solves a lot of the usability quirks that stopped Android Beam from becoming more popular.

Sennheiser’s latest over-ear wireless headphones offer affordable ANC
[ad_1] The two can handle AAC and AptX (including its Low Latency variant), and a Smart Control app can tweak the sound to your liking for podcasts or other listening. Sennheiser ships the 350BT first, in mid-January, while the 450BT arrives in mid-February. We wouldn’t bet on either sounding as good as the Momentum, but […]

Jabra Elite 75t review: The leap from good to great
[ad_1] The audio quality on the Elite 65t was… fine. It got the job done, but it lacked depth and could use a bit more bass. Jabra mostly fixed that on the Elite 75t; there’s now ample thump to songs from artists like J Dilla, Com Truise and PVRIS. The company offers a customizable EQ […]
The latest Windows 10 Insider build gets new PowerToys

Based on user feedback, it’s testing a few more, like ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪ and /ᐠ｡ꞈ｡ᐟ. You might remember PowerToys from the Windows 95 and Windows XP era. While they’ve been gathering dust for a few generations, Microsoft is bringing them […]
Google Assistant is ready to find your Tile tracker
[ad_1] This works on any Assistant-capable device, although you will need the Tile app on Android or iOS for the initial setup.

Skullcandy says the Crusher ANC has the “broadest range of […]

They used an Össur prosthetic leg, which comes with a microprocessor and an angle sensor in the knee joint, IEEE Spectrum explains. The team then added an insole with seven sensors to the foot. Those sensors transmit signals in real-time, via Bluetooth to […]
