Best Headphone and Earbud Deals for Amazon Prime Day 2024 Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge I don’t know how people wear headphones in the summer heat. I’m strictly in earbuds mode when the temperatures climb this high. But no matter your preference, Amazon Prime Day is a great opportunity to upgrade your aging gear (and declining battery life) with the latest and greatest from Bose, Samsung, Sony, and plenty of other brands. For Prime Day 2024, expect plenty of deals that’ll have you considering an impulse purchase. Many of our favorite earbud and headphone picks are on sale at some of their lowest prices yet during the two-day event.

Porsche Expands Macan EV Series with New Rear-Wheel Drive Models

Tech, Gadgets & co
Porsche Expands Macan EV Lineup with Rear-Wheel Drive Models Porsche Expands Macan EV Lineup with Rear-Wheel Drive Models Porsche has announced two new rear-wheel drive versions of the forthcoming Macan electric SUV, including a higher-powered, lighter-weight 4S model. Porsche stated that deliveries are expected to begin later this year. When it was initially announced earlier this year, Porsche said the Macan EV would come in two trims: the Macan 4 and the Macan Turbo, both of which feature dual motors for all-wheel drive. Now, the company is adding two more versions in hopes of widening its appeal. The RWD Macan will have only one motor located in the rear axle. It’s the same motor as the one used in the Macan 4, with an output of 250kW, or 335 horsepower.…

Caution with Microsoft 365: One of the Best Office Deals Comes with a Catch

Caution with Microsoft 365: One of the Best Office Deals Comes with a Catch

Tech, Gadgets & co
Aufgepasst bei Microsoft 365: Einer der Office-Bestpreise hat einen Haken Nutzer des Bürosoftware-Paketes von Microsoft haben sich in den zurückliegenden Jahren bereits an das Microsoft-365-Abomodell gewöhnt. Die Lizenzkosten für ein Jahr werden vorab entrichtet, anschließend hat man auf Mac, iPhone und iPad Zugriff auf alle Office-Anwendungen. Unschlagbare Familien-Preise Wer sich für eines der Familien-Abonnements entscheidet, kann dieses mit bis zu fünf anderen Anwendern teilen und den Jahrespreis so drastisch reduzieren. Die einzelnen Beteiligten zahlen so in der Regel weniger als einen Euro pro Monat für die komplette Office Suite. In regelmäßigen Angebotsaktionen wird der Jahres-Zugriff meist zu Preisen zwischen 50 und 60 Euro angeboten – zu Weihnachten, am Prime Day und zu ausgewählten Anlässen ist es dann manchmal noch ein wenig günstiger. Die meisten Office-Anwender warten also entsprechend, bis das…

Apple Adopts Android’s Customization Features

Apple Adopts Android’s Customization Features

Tech, Gadgets & co
Apple is finally embracing Android’s chaos Apple is finally embracing Android’s chaos For years, I’ve kept a pretty spare iOS homescreen. Two or three rows of icons on the top of the screen, sometimes arranged in such a way that the app icon colors complement each other, and three apps in the dock. Because of Apple’s resistance to letting its users muck with the homescreen’s look and feel, I haven’t been able to make things quite as simple as I would like. I’ve looked at more customizable Android homescreens with jealousy. I’ve had an iPhone since the day the first one came out, and while Apple’s smartphones have since become wildly more powerful, capable, and larger, the company has forced me to organize my apps starting from the top of…

Prime Day Deals for Power Stations and Balcony Power Plants

Tech, Gadgets & co
Prime Day Deals for Power Stations and Balcony Power Plants When we introduced the Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro in a hands-on review about a year ago, the selling price for the power station was a hefty 1,200 euros. Meanwhile, this price has halved. As part of Jackery's Prime deals, you can currently get the compact power storage for 599 euros. The smaller Jackery Explorer 500 is now available for 299 euros. Please note that these are end-of-life models that do not include app control and do not yet use the more robust LiFePO4 battery technology. Regardless, the Explorer Pro is regularly in use here mainly because it has a convenient form factor and is very comfortable to transport. However, note that Jackery relies on proprietary solar inputs, and if you…

Save $35 on Elgato’s Limited-Edition Atomic Purple Stream Deck for Prime Day

Tech, Gadgets & co
Elgato’s Limited-Edition Atomic Purple Stream Deck: Prime Day Deal Elgato’s Limited-Edition Atomic Purple Stream Deck is $35 Off for Prime Day Amazon Prime Day is just beginning, and Elgato is already dropping a sweet deal. Prime subscribers can get the limited-edition atomic purple version of Elgato’s Stream Deck MK. 2 for $124.99 ($35 off) at Amazon. Normally, the standard Stream Deck MK. 2 comes in black or white and sells for $149.99 (or discounted as low as $109.99 during its biggest sales promos), so there is a bit of a premium on the limited-edition model and its aesthetics. But this is the first (and possibly only) time the atomic purple model has been discounted. Elgato only sells this variant on Amazon, and it claims the individually numbered run will no…

Nintendo Emulator Delta: iPad Version Currently Unavailable for EU Residents

Tech, Gadgets & co
Nintendo-Emulator Delta: iPad-Version erstmal nicht für EU-Bürger Der Nintendo-Emulator Delta ist seit dem Wochenende auch für das iPad optimiert erhältlich. Anwender in den Mitgliedsländern der Europäischen Union sitzen hier jedoch vorübergehend zwischen den Stühlen. Über Apples App Store ist die App in dieser Region nämlich nicht verfügbar. Stattdessen wird die Anwendung hier über den von Apple unabhängigen App-Store AltStore PAL angeboten, dieser wiederum lässt sich aber bislang nicht auf dem iPad verwenden. Wer zusätzlich über eine Apple ID verfügt, die beispielsweise in den USA registriert ist, kann den Delta-Emulator direkt aus dem dortigen App Store auf sein iPad laden. Eine andere Option steht für die Nutzer in Deutschland und weiteren EU-Ländern bislang nicht zur Verfügung. Diese ärgerliche Situation ist das Resultat davon, dass Apple angesichts der seitens der Europäischen Union…

Xreal Beam Pro Review: Promising AR Features But Lacks Power

Xreal Beam Pro Review: Promising AR Features But Lacks Power

Tech, Gadgets & co
The Xreal Beam Pro Has Good Ideas About AR — But Not Enough Juice There are two possible paths for augmented reality devices. One path is the all-in-one approach, which you might call the smartphone path or the Vision Pro Path: you buy a full-fledged single device with everything you need, and when you need an upgrade, you buy a new one. The other path is the unbundled one: your AR system might be lots of devices rather than just one, and you’ll upgrade and swap things in as you need them. That path is more like building a home theater system than buying a new iPhone. The Xreal Beam Pro, which I’ve been testing for the last couple of weeks, is a big bet on unbundling. It’s a $199…

BetterTouchTool Introduces Menu Bar Manager

BetterTouchTool Introduces Menu Bar Manager

Tech, Gadgets & co
BetterTouchTool integriert Menüleistenmanager Die Mac-Anwendung BetterTouchTool kennen wir in erster Linie als Werkzeug, mit dessen Hilfe sich verschiedenste Eingabegeräte für den Mac anpassen und vom Funktionsumfang her erweitern lassen. Mit der neu veröffentlichten Version 4.615 bietet die App darüber hinaus auch eine Verwaltungsfunktion für Menüleistensymbole integriert. Der Entwickler von BetterTouchTool, Andreas Hegenberg, macht keinen Hehl daraus, dass diese Ergänzung durch die Kontroverse um die auf diesen Funktionsbereich spezialisierte Mac-Anwendung Bartender inspiriert wurde. Bartender hat im Zusammenhang mit einem Besitzerwechsel etliche Vertrauenspunkte in der Mac-Community verspielt. In der Folge wurde Hegenberg zufolge verstärkt der Wunsch nach einer vergleichbaren Funktion als Erweiterung für seine App geäußert. Mit der neuesten Version von BetterTouchTool steht der integrierte Menüleisten-Manager nun erstmals für alle Nutzer der App bereit. Allerdings merkt der Entwickler an, dass es sich…
