Looking for a new pair of headphones, but aren't sure where to start? You could try all the usual suspects, but did you know that Dyson has a pair you could feasibly buy? And what's more, they're on sale right now. They may look like just another pair of flashy cans, but they're actually quite fantastic.

These noise-cancelling headphones look quite interesting, but the question remains: how do they sound? According to Mashable reviewer Timothy Beck Werth, they offer exquisite audio quality. He called them a competitor for the "best audio experience" he's ever had, and had additional high praise for them in his review of the typically pricey headphones.

And while they do a great job of making your everyday music and calls sound great, they also live up to their promise of blocking out any erroneous outside noise with noise cancellation options.

"During a test call, a friend was able to tell that I was calling on headphones, but they could barely hear the train passing in the near distance," Werth said of the noise cancellation abilities.

If you're ready to try a different brand after flirting with companies like Bose or Apple, Dyson is where it's at next. And for this discount, it's well worth seeing if these over-ear headphones click with you—and we think they will.

Bad Excel habits rarely cause problems straight away. Instead, they quietly build up until your workbook becomes difficult to update, troubleshoot, or trust—and by then, fixing everything can take longer than rebuilding it. None of these five habits will break a small spreadsheet overnight, but once your workbook grows or someone else has to use it, they become much harder to undo.

T-Mobile, one of the biggest mobile carriers in the U.S., went down for hours on Monday, leaving many of its customers without cellular service.

Customers took to social media yesterday to complain about the downtime, while T-Mobile was fairly silent about the issue.

T-Mobile has now issued a statement apologizing for Monday's service disruption.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"We have fully restored service for all customers and sincerely apologize for the difficulties to those who experienced network impacts today," the company said in a statement late last night. "At T-Mobile, we know that customers rely on us to stay connected to what matters most, and we appreciate their understanding as we prioritized resolution."

The service disruption affected T-Mobile customers nationwide and also affected customers of wireless carriers that use T-Mobile's network, such as Mint Mobile.

On Monday afternoon, millions of customers found their smartphones in SOS mode, which appears on cellular devices when regular service is disrupted. SOS mode allows users to make emergency calls even when a mobile network is down.

Hours after the nationwide service disruptions began on Monday, T-Mobile put out a statement acknowledging the issue.

"Our teams are actively working on the reports of technical challenges impacting some customers," T-Mobile said at the time. "Any service impacts are in the process of being resolved and are our highest priority. We know how critical it is to stay connected, and every available resource is focused on resolving this as quickly as possible."

T-Mobile has yet to share exactly why its network went down. Mashable has reached out to T-Mobile for more information and will update this piece when we hear back.

Samsung's smart glasses still haven't made their long-awaited debut, but the company just gave us a few more crumbs of info about them.

Per The Korea Times, Samsung executive Choi Jae-in offered some mildly illuminating remarks about the upcoming "Galaxy Glasses" during a press conference after Galaxy Unpacked earlier this month. Namely, he said Samsung's status as a maker of smartphones and other smart devices could give its glasses a leg up over competitors like Meta, which doesn't produce other compatible hardware.

SEE ALSO: Don't fall in love with this Samsung heart-shaped phone. It's an AI fake.

“Running artificial intelligence (AI) effectively requires significant computing power, but packing all the necessary chips into a pair of glasses makes it difficult to deliver a lightweight and comfortable experience that smart glasses should provide," Choi said, per The Korea Times. "As the first major smartphone brand to enter the smart glasses market, we have a lot of things to offer (to the market).”

In other words, the fact that Samsung's glasses will interface directly with a Samsung phone could, in theory, make them more capable than Meta's.

The other point Choi made that's worth mentioning here concerns the price of the glasses that firms like Warby Parker and Gentle Monster are designing. According to Choi, you can expect a "reasonable" price point, but one that will still "initially be positioned in the premium range." Meta's glasses start at $299, so maybe set your expectations around there.

Samsung's glasses are reportedly coming this fall. We'll have plenty of coverage when that happens.

Manscaped is expanding its Lawn Mower lineup with a new, more budget-friendly option: The Lawn Mower Go, launching for $49.99.

It's designed specifically for below-the-waist grooming, with a slim, lightweight build that's meant to be easy to handle — a solid option if you're new to grooming or just want something simpler than Manscaped's pricier options.

The trimmer uses a SkinSafe ceramic blade, designed to reduce nicks and cuts in sensitive areas, paired with a compact grip for better control.

It's also fully waterproof, rated to withstand up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes, so it works well in the shower and rinses off easily.

There's also a built-in LED spotlight, so you can actually see what you're doing instead of just trimming blind. For everyday use, it offers up to 60 minutes of runtime and charges over USB-C. The trimmer comes with a travel lock and a built-in sport strap, so it's easy to toss into a gym bag or weekend travel bag without worrying about it turning on by accident.

Easy to trim, easier on your wallet — grab the Lawn Mower Go for $49.99.

SAVE $50: As of July 28, the Alienware 34-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor (AW3425DWM) is on sale for only $299.99 at Amazon. That's $50 off its current list price and just $30 away from its lowest price ever.

Gaming hardware tends to come with outrageous price tags, especially curved ultrawide gaming monitors. But every once in awhile, we come across a deal that stops us in our tracks. The Alienware AW3425DWN monitor is that deal.

As of July 28, you can get the Alienware 34-inch curved ultrawide gaming monitor (AW3425DWM) for only $299.99 at Amazon. While it originally retailed for $399.99 (which is still a stellar price), the monitor recently got a permanent price drop to $349.99. Now it's even cheaper with an extra $50 discount.

If you're wondering why the monitor is so cheap, there are a few main factors. One, it's a VA panel, which can often have issues with smearing and motion handling, depending on the game. On the other hand, it has deeper blacks and better contrast than an IPS panel and you don't have to worry about burn-in as you do with an OLED panel. For what it's worth, users on Reddit have mostly excellent things to say about the AW3425DWM.

The 1500R curved panel wraps the game around you and is pretty steep, which may take a bit of getting used to. You'll be fully immersed in any game or world you choose. As Redditors have pointed out, it also serves as a great all-rounder for productivity and web browsing as well as gaming.

The 180Hz refresh rate and 1ms response rate aren't the highest around, but they should serve most gamers just fine. Plus, for the price, it's honestly hard to complain. Other perks include AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA Adaptive Sync Technology, VESA DisplayHDR 400, WQHD resolution, plenty of ports, and a small footprint design with an adjustable base. Any way you slice it, it's hard to believe it's under $300.

Every year, all the big players release new smartphones. Sure, they're shiny and have fancy specs, but that $1,300 Galaxy S26 Ultra or new iPhone isn't all that special compared to what's already in my pocket. This isn't a new take, but now the software has started to plateau just as much as the hardware, making upgrades harder than ever to justify.

In a year where price hikes and the enshittification of tech products are more common than is ideal, the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are a very pleasant surprise.

I'm not going to lie — I doubted Ozlo. Maybe it was the the $50 price jump of the original Sleepbuds last year, or maybe it was the fact that the original buds were leaps and bounds more expensive than other popular options (yet lacked any noise cancelling or sleep tracking features).

Yet, here I stand corrected. The Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are available for $279. While still firmly at the luxury price point for sleep earbuds, they're $80 cheaper than the post-price bump $349 OG Sleepbuds, and cheaper still than the first gen's $299 launch price. Rather than using this as an excuse to pare down, Ozlo scaled up, adding comprehensive sleep tracking while retaining the streamlined performance that put the first Sleepbuds on the map.

So what's the result? I spent many a night's sleep to find out.

The Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 at a glance They look nearly identical to the first generations Sleepbuds, but pack important upgrades. Credit: Bethany Allard / Mashable

What I liked: The addition of sleep tracking is a huge upgrade, especially thanks to the comprehensive analysis in graphs and charts (more on that below). The battery life is 14 hours per charge (compared to the 10 hours of the first gen), which makes the earbuds more functional for listening before dozing off. The extremely comfortable design is left virtually untouched, which is great. Improved Bluetooth connectivity left me with zero issues in connecting to the app. Ozlo also kept its sleep sound library, which is the best of any sleep earbud I've tried.

What I didn't like: Though the battery life per charge improved, the case can only hold a few days of charge max, which pales in comparison to the five to seven days you can get with Soundcore's Sleep A30 Special earbuds. At this price point, a feature like noise cancellation would've made sense, and while I didn't find myself missing it, it might be a con for some users. Finally, these earbuds lose the first generation's on-ear touch controls, which I did like for snoozing alarms. The friction probably does me some good in avoiding snoozing, but it's a bummer to see it gone.

Specs and key features

• Battery life: 14 hours per charge, with case holding up to three nights of sleeps per charge

• Alarm: Set and schedule multiple private alarms

• Controls: Smart case button for phone-free controls, including Sleep Sound playback or alarm snoozing

• Sleep tracking: Biometric and environmental tracking from the earbuds and smart case, with detailed reports available in app

• Ear tips: Four sizes of silicone ear tips

• Sleep modes: Customization between different kinds of audio playback and sleep timers customized to user experience

• Phone-free features: Can use sleep sounds and alarm without a phone connection

• Sleep Shield: Feature set that blocks incoming notifications, calls, and streaming while you sleep

• Sleep sounds: Library of over 30 soundscapes and masking sleep sounds

The Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 performanceComfort

Any sleep earbud needs to excel in the comfort category, especially if you're a side sleeper. Thankfully, the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 do exactly that. Though they're nearly identical to the first-generation earbuds, I still found myself appreciating the ultra-low profile and silicone ear tips. You'll get four sizes total, with the wing tips connecting to the ear tips. The material is soft, allowing for a snug fit that's hard to detect, making for maximum comfort.

Sleep sounds

These sleep earbuds don't feature active noise cancellation, so the sleep sound library — which includes nature-based soundscapes, "mask" sounds, and nocturnes — needed to bring the incredibly soothing heat, and bring it, it did.

You can choose from over 30 options on the Ozlo app. Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo And up to 10 sounds saved locally onto the earbuds. Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo

With the app, you can save up to 10 sounds locally on the earbuds at once, swapping out from the library of more than 30 sounds. Sounds include names like "Warm Glow," "All Aboard," "Jade Static," and "Mountain Air." I legitimately felt my eyelids getting heavier as I cycled through them during the daytime while I tested the earbuds. None stood out as too grating (which I can't always say for Soundcore's sleep library). The volume levels felt very appropriate for sleep, with the soundscapes striking the right degree of balance: busy enough to block out either the sound of a room or a busy brain, but not so busy as to be distracting.

Customization

The Sleepbuds 2 can be as simple as a fancy device to listen to a pre-bedtime podcast, before switching to soothing sounds to get you through the night. Even in that simplest use case, it offers quite a bit of customization.

The five different sleep modes customize when (and if) your sleep sounds kick in. Auto, for example, plays the sound as soon as your own content finishes. Sensing (my preferred mode) starts the sleep sound once the earbuds tell you're asleep. You can also manually activate the sleep sound — from the case, with no phone required — or set a timer if you prefer not to rely on any auto-play.

How do you prefer to drift off? Ozlo gives you options. Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo

Sleep shield is another new feature to these earbuds, and basically acts as a "do not disturb," blocking notifications, texts, and calls while you're sleeping. Not so new is the built-in alarm, which is a true game changer if you share a room but not a wake-up time with someone else. As someone who usually uses a Loftie alarm clock, I'm very picky about the sounds that wake me up — these earbuds deliver. That said, if you're loyal to iPhone alarm sounds, you do have the option of using your phone's built-in alarm.

Finally, all of these customizations are made even better by the improved Bluetooth connection — the earbuds connect to the app without a hitch. That said, if you're trying to limit your screen time or keep your phone out of your bedroom, these earbuds also work perfectly fine with just the smart case button.

While I wouldn't put these earbuds on par with a dedicated wearable fitness tracker, Ozlo definitely made an effort to take a firm step in that direction.

The result is the most comprehensive sleep tracking I've encountered on sleep earbuds, which is impressive considering the first-generation earbuds had...none.

The earbuds and smart case work in tandem to offer data about your sleep... Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo ...and room environment. Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo

You do have to manually load your data into the app by putting the earbuds back in the case, opening it up, and then opening the app. It'll take a few minutes, but the earbuds can store several nights' worth, so it doesn't have to be a daily task. The result is worth it, too. I saw how well my sleep lined up with my goals (set in the sleep pattern tab), my various sleep stages, the noise and temperature in my environment, what sleep sounds I used, at what volume, and in what mode, and overall trends with my sleep. Like I said, comprehensive.

All of these features are included in the cost of the earbuds, so that means no monthly subscription costs are necessary for you to understand more about how you sleep.

The Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 design

As I mentioned in the comfort section, these earbuds are incredibly low profile and completely comfortable to use as a side sleeper (which is how I sleep exclusively).

The case is a bit larger than both Soundcore sleep earbuds options, and for $279, it probably should just come with a free travel case for the most convenient packing possible. But ultimately, it's hard to find too many issues with the earbuds.

The low profile is side-sleeper friendly. Credit: Bethany Allard / Mashable

As for the digital design, the app layout is clean and reminiscent of Bose headphones' companion apps. It isn't too surprising, considering ex-Bose employees founded Ozlo. For the sleep earbuds, it works well, keeping features simple and accessible to find, with troubleshooting options also prominently placed. The last thing you'd want to do before bed is spend time looking for settings, so Ozlo gets big points here.

The app is plenty easy to navigate. Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo Credit: Screenshot / Ozlo Are the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 worth it?

The Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are an improvement on the original in almost every way. The brand kept the same what needed to be kept the same, and added new features where they were most crucial.

While they're still $50 more than my favorite pair of sleep earbuds, the Soundcore Sleep A30 Special, they're also much more deserving of a premium price point than they formerly were. Despite the lack of ANC, the balanced soundscapes, top-of-the-line comfort, and overall thoughtful design let these earbuds shine — or rather, very soothingly dim the lights and calm your mind — in their own right.

They won't be the sleep earbuds for everyone, but if you're looking for a more upgraded experience, want the most comfortable earbuds possible, and plenty of sleep data, buying these is a decision you could sleep very well with at night.

The ex-Bose employee-designed Ozlo Sleepbuds were instrumental to waking up the sleep earbuds market (pun very much intended).

Though the earbuds had an impressive pedigree and solid performance, they also fell into the traps of a first-generation product — some missing features and a price point that didn't quite match the performance. Ozlo took the feedback in stride and is back with an improved experience in the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2.

The new sleep earbuds are available at Ozlo's website as of July 28 for $279. They're cheaper than their predecessor, yet come with key improvements and more sleep features overall. I've been testing the Sleepbuds 2 over the past couple of weeks, and can confirm Ozlo has taken a step in the right direction.

Ozlo Sleepbuds 2: Key features and price

As mentioned above, the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are available for $279.99. It's an especially impressive price point compared to the first-generation buds for two reasons. One, the original Sleepbuds are $349 at full price. However, they launched at $299, but fell into the wave of tech products that received tariff-related price bumps last spring.

Then there's the fact that Soundcore's sleep earbuds with active noise cancellation (Mashable's top pick for sleep earbuds) cost $229.99. Ozlo's narrowing of the gap between the two price points feels essential and much more accurate to the discrepancy in the user experience between the two earbuds.

Key features

• Battery life: 14 hours per charge, with case holding up to three nights of sleeps per charge

• Alarm: Set and schedule multiple private alarms

• Controls: Smart case button for phone-free controls, including Sleep Sound playback or alarm snoozing

• Sleep tracking: Biometric and environmental tracking from the earbuds and smart case, with detailed reports available in app

• Ear tips: Four sizes of silicone ear tips

• Sleep modes: Customization between different kinds of audio playback and sleep timers customized to user experience

• Phone-free features: Can use sleep sounds and alarm without a phone connection

• Sleep Shield: Feature set that blocks incoming notifications, calls, and streaming while you sleep

• Sleep sounds: Library of over 30 soundscapes and masking sleep sounds

What's new

While Ozlo retains some of the best parts of the original earbuds (the comfortable design and great sleep soundscapes), they've upped the ante with a much longer battery life (14 hours compared to 10 hours), the addition of sleep tracking analytics, sleep modes, and the smart case button.

Ozlo Sleepbuds 2: Overall impressions

You can find my detailed thoughts in my full review of the Sleepbuds 2, but as an overview, here's what worked and didn't work:

What I liked: Ultra comfortable wear, balanced and varied sleep sounds with great volume variety, longer battery life, lower price point than first generation, the incredibly detailed sleep analysis (which included graphs depicting phases of sleep, room temperature, room sounds, etc.), easy connectivity, and easily navigable app

What I didn't like: The smart case button, which replaces on-ear earbud touch controls, the case battery life compared to Soundcore's case battery life, and no active noise cancellation

The takeaway: Overall, I much prefer the Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 to the original Sleepbuds. Though the improvements weren't drastic, they were needed, and the brand implemented customer feedback where it mattered most. While I wouldn't say an upgrade is essential for folks who already own these Sleepbuds, it may be worth taking advantage of the launch promotions.

Ozlo Sleepbuds 2: Early deals and where to buy

The Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 are $279 on Ozlo's website. For a limited time after launch, orders will include a complimentary Ultra-Soft 3D Blackout Ozlo sleep mask and Ozlo Travel Case. Existing Sleepbuds customers will have access to a 30-day upgrade offer that brings the price of the Sleepbuds 2 down to $229.

If you walk through my house, you’ll see plenty of Roku gear. I've got Roku TVs and a couple of streaming sticks, and for the most part, they do exactly what they're supposed to do. They're simple, they're familiar, and they're good enough for most people. And honestly, if you just want something that works the same way every time you turn on the TV, that familiarity is hard to beat.

The compact SUV segment has long been dominated by the Toyota RAV4, but 2026 has delivered an unexpected shake-up. Production changes tied to the arrival of an all-new generation have slowed Toyota's momentum, opening the door for one of its closest rivals to surge ahead in the sales charts.

We've all been there at some point, staring at a blank screen on a system that fails to boot, or one where hardware options are limited. One dependable ally in those situations is Linux. While some people expect advanced, cutting-edge features from their OS, the real power of Linux lies within its utility. No matter what your daily driver is, having such a capable tool at your disposal is of enormous help.

TL; DR: Lego and Olivia Rodrigo surprised 100 fans at LA's Licorice Pizza Records, turning the store into a life-sized Lego build featuring her Guts World Tour Concert Moon. It kicked off a global hunt for 333 limited-edition brick-built Lego vinyl records hidden in stores worldwide, with clues dropping on social media over the coming weeks.

Lego and Olivia Rodrigo surprised 100 fans on Monday with a takeover of Licorice Pizza Records, one of LA's most iconic record stores, transforming it into a full-scale Lego build to mark the arrival of the new Lego Editions Olivia Rodrigo collection.

The highlight of the takeover was a giant Lego version of the floating moon Rodrigo performed on during her Guts tour, built from 77,000 Lego bricks. She actually sat on top of it and answered fan questions. More than 110,000 Lego bricks went into transforming the whole store, and it took over 500 hours to build.

Then came the bigger surprise: Rodrigo kicked off a global scavenger hunt for 333 limited-edition, brick-built Lego vinyl records, hidden inside record stores around the world. Over the next couple of weeks, Lego and Rodrigo will drop clues across their social channels, pointing fans toward where these vinyls are hidden, and fans who track one down are being asked to share their find using #FindAStoryInEveryPiece.

This all ties into the Lego Editions Olivia Rodrigo collection, which we covered when it launched — five collectible sets inspired by songs, performances, and moments from the Sour, Guts, and You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love eras.

The collection was developed in close collaboration with Rodrigo, with each set designed to hide references and details that fans can dig into. Julia Goldin, Lego's Chief Product & Marketing Officer, said the Vinyl Hunt was built to take that idea of discovery "one step further," turning it into a real-world event that brings fans together in record stores and communities globally.

The Lego Editions Olivia Rodrigo collection is available to pre-order ahead of its global launch on Aug. 1 at Lego, Lego stores, and select global retailers.
