The Dyson Zone is an undoubtedly eye-catching headset. It turns out if you put a company best known for masterfully designed vacuums and air purifiers up to the task of creating a personal audio device, it'll make a pretty unique pair of headphones.
The moment I knew Dragon's Dogma 2 was something special was also the moment I realized it was not for everyone. I was on my way to an objective through a forest when I encountered a few goblins. No big deal. I had dealt with them easily before, and this time should be no different. However, when a random Griffin decided to swoop in, the situation became a bit more complicated. After minutes of chipping away at its health, I was clinging to its back when it decided to simply fly away. I hung on as long as my stamina would last but eventually was forced to fall to my death, undoing all the progress I had made up to that point.
I don't require a lot of space when I hit the road, but if you do, the Kia EV9 GT-Line S will more than fit the bill. It's a three-row, seven-seat SUV that's perfect for anyone with multiple family members and pets to drive around. Equally, it works if you just like having a lot of room to yourself and aren't bothered about the snob appeal of rivals like the Audi Q8 e-tron and BMW iX.
I love my Hatch Restore 2 smart alarm clock, especially its white noise machine function. And as great as it looks on my nightstand, it doesn't quite fit into my carry-on or personal item. As someone who both loves to travel and struggles to fall asleep, I've been looking for a better solution than using an app as my sound machine.
The BMW iX2 is an all-electric SUV that features the same underpinnings as the BMW iX1. As is the case with many of BMW's latest models, the exterior design divides opinion, but I'm keen on it even if the slightly more practical BMW iX1 is more appealing. The iX2 has competition too, from the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Audi Q4 e-Tron Sportback, Polestar 2 and Volvo C40.
The Blink Mini, introduced in 2020, delivered 1080p security video for only around $35, but it didn't offer many smart features. That's changing with the second generation model. The new Blink Mini 2 is still a compact, affordable camera, but it also comes with a water-resistant housing for outdoor use, incorporates a spotlight for color night vision, and even adds person recognition to allow you to customize alerts (with a subscription). Despite those additions, it's not much more expensive, starting at $40 for the base model or $50 for a bundle that comes with a weather-resistant outdoor power cord.
Audio-Technica's M-series of headphones is iconic among audiophiles and musicians, and the ATH-M30x is no exception. This pair of headphones is one of the most affordable in the M-series, and is well-loved by many. I've owned these headphones for a few years, and have used them for everything from casual music listening to recording music myself.
For better or worse, I focus better when playing music, white noise, a podcast, or even mindless TV in the background. Usually, my favorite in-ear buds or over-ear headphones remedy my audio fix, or — one of the privileges of remote work-- even blasting from my favorite speaker. However, spending nine hours a day behind a screen takes a toll on my eyes, often resulting in a desperate Renpho Eye massager session. While my prescription Warby Parker glasses have a blue light filter built-in, the added pressure from the glasses arms along with in-ears or the headband from over-ear headphones, I end up with a headache all the same or simply feeling claustrophobic. For all these reasons, I was eager to try Amazon's blue light 3rd-Gen Echo Frames.
