Photo by Chris Welch / The Verge Even four years on, Sony’s WH-1000XM4 remain a stalwart choice among wireless noise-canceling headphones — especially now that they’ve returned to their lowest price of abpit $198 ($150 off) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy. That’s thanks in large part to their very good sound quality (which may be just a touch bass-y, to be fair), up to 30 hours of battery... Read more ›

The PlayStation VR2 PC Adapter, and everything that plugs into it. | Photo by Sean Hollister / The Verge The biggest problem with Sony’s PSVR 2 virtual reality headset is the dearth of games. I’d hoped Sony’s PC adapter would change that. The chance to play Half-Life Alyx, the best VR game yet made, seemed like reason enough for existing owners to justify the $60 adapter purchase. But I can’t... Read more ›

That changed when Apple dropped the price of the 10th-gen iPad to a more sensible $349 and discontinued its entry-level model. But the 2021 iPad remains a perfectly good slate,... Read more ›

The entire iPhone 16 line is expected to get the features this fall, but “you can also bet” the iPhone SE, coming “as early as the beginning of 2025,”... Read more ›

Fitbit’s latest LTE-enabled wearable gamifies exercise, only without ads and unwanted microtransactions. | Image: Fitbit As you might expect, not every parent wants to outfit their kid with a phone, especially given the rise in cyberbullying and the sheer amount of distractions they pose while in school. Thankfully, the Fitbit Ace LTE is a more pared-down alternative, one that’s matching its all-time low of $199.95 ($30 off) at Amazon, Best... Read more ›

The Vision Pro got its first Virtual Boy emulator in an app called VirtualFriend, finally giving me, a person with an irrational love for Nintendo’s most short-lived console, a chance to play it in immersive 3D once more. The app is also available for iOS and iPadOS, where it’s a virtually identical experience, minus the 3D effect. The first games I played after downloading VirtualFriend were those I owned as...
