Daisy Sound is already making noise in the crowded headphone market. Just weeks after launching its first product, the Daisy One headphones have sold out across the U.S., UK, and Europe.
The $399 over-ear headphones aren’t trying to simply compete with Sony and Bose flagships. Instead, Daisy is taking a different approach with features like adaptive noise cancellation, custom sound tuning, and Still Mode, a built-in collection of calming soundscapes.
While the first batch is sold out, Daisy says a new production run is already underway. If you want to get your hands on a pair, you can sign up for restock notifications.
Why Daisy One headphones are getting so much attentionAt $399, the Daisy One headphones are competing directly with some of the biggest names in audio, including Sony and Bose. Rather than trying to outdo Sony and Bose on noise cancellation alone, Daisy is taking a different approach to what premium headphones can offer.
The California-based company is building a headphone experience around sound, focus, and calm, with features designed for people who want more from their headphones than just blocking out the world.
The feature getting the most attention is Still Mode, a dedicated feature built into the Daisy One. With the press of a button, users can access calming audio experiences directly from the headphones, without opening an app or keeping their phone connected.
Still Mode includes soundscapes recorded in California, such as rain, ocean, and forest sounds, brown noise, and guided breathing tracks. The idea is to give users an easy way to switch into a focused or relaxed state — whether they’re working, traveling, or simply taking a break.
SEE ALSO: Microsoft will straight up give you a free pair of Sony XM6 headphones right nowInstead of using the larger 40mm drivers common in many premium wireless headphones, Daisy One uses 35mm dynamic drivers tuned for a balanced sound with controlled bass. It’s a different approach for a $399 pair of headphones, where bigger specs often get more attention.
You can also adjust the sound through Daisy EQ, while Dynamic Bass helps keep low frequencies full without making your music feel muddy.
Beyond noise cancellation, Daisy One includes the essentials you’d expect from premium headphones. You get wireless connectivity, transparency mode, multi-device pairing, Bluetooth calling, and both 3.5mm AUX and USB-C connections for wired listening. Battery life is rated at up to 45 hours, with rapid charging support, while the headphones feature a slim metallic design.
The first run sold out fast, but Daisy is already working on more units. Sign up for restock alerts so you don’t miss the next drop.
Upgrade your TV to Samsungs entry-level 2026 OLED for $500 off — its best price ever
SAVE $500: As of July 20, the Samsung 65-inch S85H OLED 4K TV is on sale for $1,497.99 at Amazon. That's a 25% discount and its best price to date.

If it's been years since you bought a new TV and you want an upgrade that makes a noticeable difference, I suggest grabbing an OLED model. OLED TVs have more advanced lighting that makes them more vibrant and detailed than QLED TVs, especially when it comes to watching in dark rooms or viewing dim cinematic scenes. They're also more expensive, of course, but if you act fast, you can save $500 on one of Samsung's 2026 OLED TVs.
As of July 20, the Samsung 65-inch S85H OLED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for just $1,497.99 instead of its usual $1,997.99. Not only is that 25% in savings, but it's this particular model's best price ever — even beating Prime Day by an extra $200.
The S85H is Samsung's entry-level version of our favorite OLED TV for 2026. It packs an NQ4 AI Gen2 processor that can upscale content to 4K and an extremely thin, glossy OLED HDR panel. The glossy display can be more prone to reflections, but it can also preserve black levels better in bright rooms. Just be aware of where your light sources are coming from before you decide on its new home.
Other features include a 120Hz refresh rate, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Color Booster Pro, AI Customization Mode, Real Depth Enhancer, Voice Amplifier Pro, and Motion Based Sound. The S85H offers the best picture quality from a Samsung OLED TV for the best price — especially now that it's $500 cheaper. While we find the 65-inch model to be the sweet spot for most people, size options range from 48 inches to 83 inches and each one is on sale at Amazon.

Android Auto can launch your favorite playlist the moment you plug in—if you set it up right
Most people don't think about their phone-to-car connection until it stops working in the middle of a trip. Suddenly, you're poking at a touchscreen, doing exactly what you were trying to avoid. Getting Android Auto to play your music the moment you start driving sounds simple, and parts of it are. However, it takes some deliberate setup and a few spots where things can quietly break.

Why I've started archiving software the same way I archive family photos
I have a habit of keeping all my software and files, regardless of whether I use them regularly. I have a sweet deprecated version of Noteworthy Composer (to run on a VM) and a portable version of Reaper that I've been using for years. The modern web and modern services have made it increasingly difficult (ahem, Amazon, ahem) to preserve software and digital purchases. So I preserve my software as much as possible, the same way someone might preserve their family photo albums.

Windows Home Server had a superpower that modern backup tools completely abandoned
Having your files safe somewhere on the network doesn't help much if a completely blank machine can't even see the network yet. Getting a dead computer back to the point where it can talk to anything needs to solve a hardware recognition problem before the operating system exists to solve it. Early NAS handled this surprisingly well, and understanding how they did it makes it easier to appreciate why modern tools, for all their efficiency, usually can't fully replace what those older systems got right.
My Bluetooth mouse kept disconnecting until I changed one Device Manager setting
My Bluetooth mouse would cut out every few minutes on my Windows laptop, usually right in the middle of an intense working session. Then reconnecting it over and over got old fast. While digging around for a fix, I came across common Bluetooth bugs on Windows and realized my issue wasn't the device at all. It was a single power setting buried a few clicks deep in Device Manager.

The internet reacts to the first-ever World Cup Halftime show
The FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina is living up to the hype. And to add to the festivities was a fun but odd sight in the world of association football: a halftime show.
Soccer is normally a brisk sport, but with this edition of the World Cup being co-hosted in the U.S. (the first World Cup in the US since 1994), it's fallen into the American Sports Entertainment Vortex™. Which isn't a bad thing, minus the universal dislike for the hydration breaks, which many commentators have pointed out are glorified commercial breaks for the Fox network.
SEE ALSO: T-Mobile is handing over the Apple iPhone 17 for free — how to claim yoursBut given the lineup — Madonna, BTS, Shakira, and Justin Bieber, with a Muppets cameo and a Ted Lasso intro thrown in for good measure — the World Cup's first-ever halftime show was just fine.
The whole thing clocked in at under six minutes, which somehow made it funnier: FIFA spent months hyping a halftime show shorter than the ad break before it. The internet noticed — as did football commentators — and acted accordingly.

Credit: Michael Regan - FIFA/FIFA via Getty ImagesMadonna's entrance into the World Cup halftime was mostly prerecorded, with the music icon choosing her 2000 hit “Music," instead of tracks from new album Confessions II. She was also seen on an ATV with football legends Ronaldinho and R9, which was a strange sight.

Bieber's song choice, 2025's "Everything Hallelujah," unfortunately slowed things down, and viewers were not kind about it.

English footballer Wayne Rooneys blunt reaction to World Cup halftime show goes viral
The 2026 FIFA World Cup final on Sunday was something of a first for the tournament, in that it featured a halftime show similar to the kind you typically associate with the Super Bowl.
Coldplay's Chris Martin curated the MetLife Stadium show with Global Citizen and he certainly went all out, bringing together performances from the likes of Shakira, BTS, Justin Bieber, and Burna Boy, a cameo from Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) himself, and a special appearance from the Muppets.
SEE ALSO: T-Mobile is handing over the Apple iPhone 17 for free — how to claim yoursNeedless to say the internet reacted, and there was plenty of excitement from most corners. But not all.
Watching on from the BBC Sport commentary box, it's fair to say former England footballer-turned-pundit Wayne Rooney was less than impressed with the spectacle.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Responding to host Gabby Logan's question to name his favorite bit of the halftime show, Rooney remained straight-faced as he gave the following response: "I'll be honest, mine was when it finished. I like a lot of them artists, but I thought it was crap."
That clip has now been shared thousands of times on X. You certainly can't fault his honesty.

BTS met IShowSpeed at the World Cup final and its everything
BTS and IShowSpeed met each other in the hallway at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final and the video is pure glee with added backflip.
The South Korean superstars performed in the first ever World Cup halftime show on Sunday, during the final match between victors Spain and runners up Argentina. In a delightful exchange on the day, BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook ran into the YouTube megastar (and Mashable 101 alumnus) in the halls of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
SEE ALSO: English footballer Wayne Rooney's blunt reaction to World Cup halftime show goes viralIn a video posted to Instagram by IShowSpeed, it's hard to tell who is fanning out harder.
View this post on InstagramSpeed's backflip? So casual. And there's a lot of "big fan" exclamations exchanged all round. It's extremely sweet.
"We were just as amazed to meet you🙌" wrote BTS' V in the comments. J-Hope and RM also added emoji under the video.
During the World Cup halftime show, BTS performed their 2020 Grammy nominated, chart-topping, YouTube-smashing single "Dynamite," the group's first number one in America. In a performance curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin and Global Citizen, BTS shared the lineup with Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira, Burna Boy, the Muppets, and more, including appearances from football legends Ronaldo and Ronaldinho and Ted Lasso's Jason Sudeikis and Brendan Hunt in character.
BTS will perform again at the MetLife Stadium in a few weeks' time, returning to the U.S. for more dates on their ARIRANG World Tour.
Featured Video For You How F1 became a global obsessionIt's been a major World Cup for Speed (aka Darren Watkins Jr.) as he's become one of the biggest U.S. names during the tournament off the field. The 21-year-old football-loving creator has been livestreaming matches to his millions of followers through his official partnership with FIFA, YouTube and Fox Sports.
Speed also hosted the inaugural YouTube FIFA Creator Cup, a creator-led exhibition match in New York City's Central Park, last Sunday. Mashable chatted to the host at the event, with Culture Editor Crystal Bell specifically asking him to build a dream World Cup squad from One Piece characters.
View this post on InstagramEarly in the tournament, the streamer went viral for not recognising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani sitting right beside him in MetLife Stadium, during the first World Cup 2026 game between Brazil and Morocco. However, in more serious news, FIFA investigated after alleged racist abuse aimed at Speed was captured in one of his YouTube livestreams for the World Cup.
Sweet moments of wholesome fandom between superstars, after all that, are pure gold.
