If you buy an expensive gadget like an iPhone or a MacBook, then buying AppleCare+ for it makes sense, especially since repairs can get pretty expensive. However, what do you think about AppleCare+ for headphones? Necessary or not? Apparently necessary, according to Apple who launched a new AppleCare+ plan for their headphones.

According to the rumors, Apple apparently planned to launch three AirPods models this year. During the early part of the year, Apple launched the AirPods 2, but apparently there are plans to launch two more in the later part of the year. This is according to notable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

Apple’s AirPods are essentially a pair of Bluetooth headphones, and as such, they can be used with any device that supports Bluetooth connectivity. However, Apple has baked some features into it that make it a delight to use with an iOS device, such as faster pairing, being able to check battery levels, and more.

The AirPods have to be one of Apple’s better-selling products in recent years. Despite them being made fun of when they first launched, the headphones now appear to be a pretty hot item to purchase. We imagine that this is due to them being relatively lightweight and easy to pair with iOS devices.

One of the reasons why the AirPods is such a hot-selling item is because it seems to have found a nice balance between being affordable and also functional. While it’s not the cheapest, its features have made it worth their weight. However, it seems that Los Angeles designer Ian Delucca has a pair of AirPods that look out of this world.

With more smartphone makers ditching the headphone jack, it means that more users are starting to transition to wireless headphones. While going wireless is no doubt welcome, the downside is that it requires a battery, which means that they need to be constantly charged and where users can run into situations where they’re out of juice.

Back in April, Apple announced the Powerbeats Pro. This was Apple’s “active” alternative to their AirPods for users who might need a pair of headphones that can withstand some moisture and also potentially sounds better. If you’re looking to get your hands on it, you’ll be pleased to learn that the headphones are now available in additional countries.

Samsung is no stranger to audio products as in the past, we have seen the company launch a variety of headphones and speakers. However, it seems that the company could have a new pair of headphones in the works that could be debuting alongside the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 10.

If you fancy yourself a serious gamer, then you might be in the market for some “serious” gaming accessories. If you are, then you might be interested to learn that Logitech has announced their latest gaming headset in the form of the Logitech G Pro X. This will be the company’s latest addition to their G Pro series of gaming peripherals.

Earlier this year, Apple launched their second-gen AirPods. It offered up some improvements over its predecessor, although there were rumors that there could also be a water-resistant model in the works, which according to Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives is apparently still on track for 2019.

One of the trends we’re seeing these days in terms of smartphone design is the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack. This headphone jack been more or less the norm/standard since the early days of mobile phones, so as you can imagine it was quite disconcerting when companies started to remove the port in favor of Bluetooth, Lightning, or USB-C.

When it comes to noise-cancellation technology in headphones, we typically see it in over-ear and on-ear headphones, but in case such headphone designs are too bulky, then you might be interested to learn that Sony has announced their new WF-1000XM3 wireless noise-canceling earbuds.

The AirPods comes with its own charging case that will extend its battery life. However, it can be inconvenient having to carry your phone and the charging case at the same time, and that’s why the Power1 iPhone case on Kickstarter has managed to capture our attention.

We’re sure some of you might remember the good old days when we would share our headphones with our friends, where each person will listen to one side of the headphone. These days, it’s becoming less common, but if you’d still like to share what you’re listening to with your friend, then iOS 13 might have a feature you could be interested in.
