Apple may be stepping up its sound game. High-end AirPods, a new HomePod and over-ear headphones are coming as soon as next year, reported Bloomberg.

The new AirPods will also have increased Bluetooth range and …

Late last year Bose presold “prototypes” of a new product it was creating called Noise-Masking Sleepbuds that some 3,000 people picked up at a discount on crowd-funding site Indiegogo. Those early units shipped in April and after a couple of months of “real feedback from real people” Bose is ready to officially launch the product at a press event in …

We frequently see discounts on Apple’s MacBook Air, but deals on the current 12-inch MacBook have been pretty scarce — which is why Best Buy’s today-only $350 discount on the entry-level 12-incher is intriguing. This ultraslim model lists for $1,300 but is selling for $950 in four color options (online only).  This model features Intel’s Core M3 chip, the mobile …

The market for premium wireless noise-canceling headphones is very competitive these days, with several top models to choose from at the $350 price point, including the highly rated Bose QuietComfort 35 II and Sony WH-1000XM2.
