Students these days are becoming smarter about communicating with each other in class. Back in the day, we would pass handwritten notes to each other discreetly, but thanks to technology, students have come up with impressive new ways to go about it. Take for example a recent video that was shared on Twitter.

One of the unique selling points of the AirPods Pro compared to the regular AirPods is that they come with active noise cancelling. However, it seems that this defining trait of the AirPods Pro has been sort of nullified in the latest firmware update Apple issued to the earphones, where users are complaining that noise cancellation on the AirPods Pro is actually now worse.

There are headphones designed for audiophiles, which aren’t always the most fashionable-looking, and then there are headphones designed to be worn on the streets. If you’re after something a bit more fashionable that you can proudly show off in public, Louis Vuitton might have something for you.

Walk about the streets these days and you would be hardpressed to find someone without Apple’s AirPods sitting in their ears. In fact, did you know that Apple’s AirPods are so popular that as far as the true wireless headphone market is concerned, Apple managed to nab about 71% of the market’s revenue?

If you’re looking to get your hands on a pair of gaming headsets, you might be pretty interested to learn that at CES 2020, JBL has announced their new range of Quantum gaming headsets where there will be seven different models for users to choose from, ranging from both wired to wireless models.

Bluetooth headphones are becoming the norm these days, and if you’d like to pick up a pair for yourselves, you might want to take note that Sennheiser has actually announced a couple of new Bluetooth models that could be worth taking a look at, especially if you’re a fan of the brand and the sound that they offer.

Jabra is no stranger to the true wireless earbuds game. The company had previously launched such devices like the Elite Active 65t, but in case you think that the company’s earbuds could be smaller, then you might be interested to learn that Jabra has since announced the Jabra Elite Active 75t.

In this day and age, no longer is it necessary to wear chest straps in order to measure your heart rate. Our heart rates can be measured by using devices like fitness trackers and smartwatches, or to a certain extent, even our headphones are capable of tracking our heart rate.

If you’re looking to give your AirPods charging case a bit more personality, you might be interested to learn that Apple is now offering free engraving options for new purchases.

Due to the size of the AirPods, one of the main concerns was that they could be easily lost (this K-pop superstar reportedly lost $6,000 worth of AirPods to date), but it seems that their size created another problem: the potential to accidentally swallow them. This is exactly what happened to a 7-year old in DeKalb County, Georgia.

One of the selling points of true wireless earbuds is not necessarily their sound, but their portability. Due to their size and lack of wires and connecting cables, it makes it easy to toss into a bag and you can wear them out without standing out in a crowd. However, if you wished that these earbuds offered up more functionality, you might be in luck.

Wireless headphones are becoming increasingly common these days, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing if you don’t like dealing with cables. The downside is that wireless headphones rely on battery, which means that you need to make sure they’re charged if you don’t want them to die halfway.

It wasn’t too long ago that Apple released the AirPods Pro. The earbuds introduced improved audio quality over the regular AirPods and also offers active noise-cancelling features. However, it seems that under the hood, Apple might have actually done more than what was advertised, one of which includes improvements in Bluetooth latency.

Prior to the AirPods Pro being announced, there were rumors that Apple’s AirPods could come with active noise cancelling features, which eventually proved to be true.
