Tribit’s XFree Tune was one of my favorite over-ear budget Bluetooth headphones. Last June, its successor, the XFree, was briefly on sale at launch for a little more than $23. Now that deal has returned, with the headphone selling for $22.74 (before tax) at Amazon when you apply the code IOQEYEVO at checkout. Normally, it sells …

Does Sonos have Wi-Fi headphones on deck, as rumored? Maybe, but today it’s introducing the Sonos Roam, its smallest and — at $169 (£159, AU$279) — most affordable speaker to date. The ultraportable model, which was leaked in recent days, weighs just less than a pound (0.43kg) — or about one-sixth the weight of its earlier Move portable speaker — and has …

Audio glasses are quickly becoming a thing. Last year Bose followed its original Frames with three second-generation models, including the sporty Tempo Fames, and Amazon is selling the second-generation of its Echo Frames while plenty of others, like Razer, are now jumping in on the “smart” glasses action. The Razer Anzer, which comes in round and square versions in two …

Environmentally friendly smartphone cases are rapidly proliferating as more companies are making an effort to manufacture products out of recycled materials or materials that are biodegradable. The Torro Eco Cover for the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro falls into the latter category, and like a lot of eco cases, it’s pretty simply designed. But unlike a lot of eco cases, …

10000mAh portable chargers are a dime a dozen these days, but only a handful feature wireless charging capabilities along with a kickstand. That docklike setup comes in handy when you’re using your phone for video binge watching or gaming with a controller. Typically such wireless charging power banks are fairly pricey, but Aukey’s wireless 10000mAh portable charger with foldable stand …

As far as headphones go, Bose’s Sport Open Earbuds are pretty funky. Not to be confused with the company’s more traditional in-ear Sport Earbuds and QuietComfort Earbuds, they feature an open design without a tip, meaning the earpiece sits on top of your ear and doesn’t penetrate your ear canal.  Geared toward runners and bikers who want their ears open to the world …

When they were released back in July 2019, Sony’s WF-1000XM3 were easily among the best-sounding true wireless earbuds — they also featured the best active noise canceling in their class. They had some small flaws: they weren’t stellar for making calls outdoors in noisier environments; they were pretty bulky looking; and they lacked a water-resistance rating. I was hoping Sony …

Aukey’s mini charger, the Omnia 20W PD, isn’t much bigger than the 5W charger that used to be included with iPhones. Back in September of last year, we listed it as a deal at $12 with a CNET-exclusive coupon on Amazon, but now it’s $9.55 with an instant 25% coupon (just remember to check the box before checking out). By …

The JBL Bluetooth speaker that received the biggest improvements for 2021 is among the company’s smallest. The JBL Go 3 has a completely new look — it’s now covered in durable fabric instead of having the naked plastic design of its Go predecessors — and that new design coupled with surprisingly decent sound for its small size makes the Go …

For its first three generations, JBL’s Clip micro Bluetooth speaker had a circular design. But for the fourth-gen Clip 4, JBL has moved to a more oval shape and bulked up the speaker slightly. It’s a tad heavier at 0.24 kilograms (0.53 pounds) vs. 0.22 kilograms (0.49 pounds) for the Clip 3. But it does seem more durable, with a …
