Professional recruiters spend much of their working day conducting interviews, screening candidates, attending meetings, and making calls. For that reason, the best headphones for recruiting are not necessarily the headphones with the most impressive music performance. Recruiters generally benefit more from a headset that delivers clear voice pickup, effective noise reduction, long-wearing comfort, reliable connectivity, and strong compatibility with workplace communication platforms. Business-focused models from companies such as Jabra, HP Poly, and Logitech are specifically designed around workplace communication. Jabra’s current Evolve range, for example, emphasizes voice clarity, noise cancellation, comfort, platform certification, and device management rather than audio quality alone. For recruiters working in…

The TDM Neo headphone is one of the strangest headphone products to reach U.S. buyers this year. At first glance, it looks like another pair of wireless headphones. But twist the device into its alternate configuration and the headphones become a portable Bluetooth speaker. That unusual transformation is the entire reason the TDM Neo headphone exists. Instead of asking consumers to carry headphones for private listening and a separate speaker for sharing music, TDM is betting that one device can do both jobs. The product is now moving from its CES 2026 debut and Kickstarter campaign into the U.S. consumer…

Microsoft’s October 7, 2026 Windows and Surface event could become an important moment for the Windows laptop market. The reason is not simply another Surface refresh. The bigger story is the technology underneath Microsoft’s new premium hardware: NVIDIA RTX Spark. RTX Spark is NVIDIA’s attempt to bring its Blackwell GPU architecture, CUDA software ecosystem, Arm CPU technology and large unified memory into a Windows laptop platform designed specifically for local AI, content creation and gaming. Microsoft has already announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, a 15-inch Windows laptop built around RTX Spark. The company describes it as its most powerful Surface Laptop…

Apple has confirmed a serious early-life problem affecting a small number of iPhone 18 Pro Max owners using AT&T in the United States. The issue can cause the phone to lose cellular service, leaving users unable to make normal calls and potentially unable to send texts or use mobile data. Apple and AT&T have already taken steps intended to prevent additional customers from experiencing the problem. But there is an important distinction that iPhone owners need to understand. The software update is intended to prevent the problem. It is not a repair for phones that have already been affected. Apple says iPhone…

Samsung is taking its Galaxy Buds lineup in a noticeably different direction. Instead of another sealed in-ear model, the company has introduced the Samsung Galaxy Buds On, its first clip-on wireless earbuds. The design leaves the ear canal open and uses a flexible structure that wraps around the outer ear. That matters because open-ear audio is no longer a fringe category. Omdia estimates that open wireless stereo, or OWS, shipments reached 11.1 million units in the second quarter of 2026, representing 12% year-over-year growth. At the same time, conventional true-wireless-stereo shipments declined 2%. Clip-on designs represented 61% of OWS shipments…

Key Takeaways Neurable One is more than an AI headphone: it combines conventional ANC audio hardware with 12 EEG sensors designed to turn brain-activity signals into consumer-facing focus and fatigue metrics. The EEG feature has important limitations: dry wearable EEG is technically challenging, and existing research shows that electrode contact, movement, hair and impedance can affect signal quality. The $499 price buys an experimental new category, not a medical instrument: Neurable explicitly describes One as a consumer wellness product, and independent reporting says new efficacy research specific to this model remains limited. The headphone market has spent years adding smarter…

Despite the wireless boom, many consumers are actively returning to wired earbuds in 2026 due to their superior audio fidelity, lower latency, consistent reliability, and often significantly lower cost. This resurgence highlights a growing preference for functional performance over pure convenience for specific use cases like gaming, critical listening, and travel. Key Takeaways Wired earbuds offer UNMATCHED audio quality, especially for audiophiles and lossless audio formats. ZERO latency makes them superior for gaming and video consumption. They provide UNINTERRUPTED listening without battery anxiety or charging woes. Wired options are significantly MORE affordable, offering premium sound at budget prices. Durability and…

Samsung’s Galaxy A series has long occupied an important place in the smartphone market. These phones give buyers many Galaxy features without requiring flagship-level spending. That value proposition is now under pressure as Samsung reportedly raises prices across several Galaxy A models in the United States. The reported increases affect the Galaxy A57 5G, Galaxy A37 5G, Galaxy A27 5G, and Galaxy A17 5G. The increases vary by model, but some configurations are now significantly more expensive than their launch prices. This change arrives at a difficult time for smartphone buyers. Samsung has also raised Galaxy S26 prices in the…
