The new Vintage Maroon Px7 S3 gives Bowers & Wilkins’ premium over-ear headphones a fresh look, but the focus remains on the same high-end listening experience. The headphones use Bowers & Wilkins’ latest audio technology, backed by nearly 60 years of engineering experience, to deliver detailed sound with deeper bass and improved clarity compared to the previous Px7 S2e model.

The Px7 S3 comes with adjustable active noise cancellation powered by eight microphones to help block out everything from airplane noise to busy commutes. The headphones also feature a slimmer design with refined earcups and an updated headband for a more comfortable fit during longer listening sessions.

Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship Pi8 true wireless earbuds are getting two new finishes: Pale Mauve and Dark Burgundy. As Bowers & Wilkins’ flagship earbuds, the Pi8 use carbon-cone drive units to reduce distortion and bring out more detail in your music, from vocals and instruments to subtle nuances you might miss with standard earbuds.

The earbuds come with four ear tip sizes and offer up to 6.5 hours of battery life, with additional power from the charging case. The Pi8 also comes with adaptive noise cancellation that adjusts based on your surroundings, plus three microphones per earbud for clearer calls.

The headphones also offer up to 30 hours of battery life, with a quick 15-minute charge adding around seven hours of playback.

OLED gaming monitors are becoming easier to find below $500, but getting one from a major brand with QHD resolution and a genuinely fast response time can still cost plenty. Amazon’s latest Samsung deal makes that jump much easier to justify. 

As of July 15, the G50SF version of Samsung’s 27-inch Odyssey OLED G5 gaming monitor is on sale at Amazon for $349.54 — with a sizable 30% cut taking $150.45 from its $499.99 list price. Shipped and sold directly from Amazon, and arriving at your door as soon as July 16 at the time of writing (if you’re a Prime member), the OLED G5 grants you a fantastic QHD panel with a 2560x1440 resolution for just under $350.

Whether you’re watching movies on Netflix or playing the latest single-player titles, like Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced, this will make any desktop experience far sharper and more immersive than standard HD. That’s thanks to Samsung’s display combining deep OLED black levels with HDR10, brighter highlights, and more detailed shadows. It's even Pantone Validated, with support for more than 2,100 colours and over 110 skin-tone shades.

What’s more, its 180Hz refresh rate and 0.03ms GtG response time are built for smoother motion and faster reactions in multiplayer games like Fortnite, Marvel Rivals, and Overwatch. NVIDIA G-Sync compatibility and AMD FreeSync are included as well, helping the screen stay in sync with your GPU to reduce tearing, lag, and choppy-looking action.

Plus, Samsung’s Glare Free coating is designed to cut reflections from external light, while OLED Safeguard uses thermal modulation, logo and taskbar detection, and a screen saver to help reduce burn-in risks. Black Equalizer, Virtual Aim Point, and Auto Source Switch+ round out the gaming extras.

I tested 7 Wi-Fi tweaks that cost nothing—and they beat a $300 router upgrade

How-To Geek - 5 hours 57 min ago

I'm not a fan of renting your router from your ISP, but I'm also not a fan of advising people to waste their money. If you already have your own router and you're unhappy with your Wi-Fi, you might be tempted to buy one of these useless networking upgrades, but I'm here to say: wait a bit. You may be able to fix the problem without spending a penny instead.

Google and Amazon smart speakers are getting worse on purpose, but this open-source alternative is only getting better

How-To Geek - 6 hours 12 min ago

It's a sad fact of life that, when it comes to tech, things often get worse rather than better. Google Search used to be good and is now horrific, streaming services used to be simple and are now horribly fragmented, and printers have become actively hostile. Google's and Amazon's smart speakers are no different, but thankfully there is an alternative that bucks the trend.

Chaos Rising has already seen its Booster Display Box tumble through several price points, but Amazon has now made it so you can grab the expansion’s biggest sealed product for under $220, while stocks last.

As of July 15, the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Booster Display Box is available at Amazon for $219.55. That cuts $60.44 from its original $279.99 list price, taking 13% off the complete 36-pack display. Although it is being shipped and sold by a third-party seller, this box still comes with Amazon’s 30-day refund or replacement window. At the time of writing, free delivery is currently listed for July 17-21.

At $219.55, each of those 36 Chaos Rising boosters will cost you roughly $6.09 before tax, and Walmart’s lowest listing has matched that as well — also $219.55 with free shipping.

Your friends can now add to your Hinge profile

Mashable - 6 hours 27 min ago

If you've been on a dating app, your friend has likely stolen your phone to swipe for you or change your profile. Now, a new Hinge feature lets them officially do the latter.

Today, Hinge launches Friend's Take, a feature where users can invite their loved ones to add a text prompt, voice note, or image to users' profiles. The point is for your friends (or co-worker, family members — whomever) to reflect and share their thoughts about you that potential matches can see.

SEE ALSO: All your Hinge questions, answered

According to internal Hinge data, 79 percent of users rely on friends and family for advice about their dating lives. Now, there's a way for them to literally add their opinion to daters' profiles.

"Until now, there hasn't been an easy way for the people who know you best to be part of creating your Hinge profile," Hinge's chief product and technology officer, Ben Celebicic, said in a press release shared with Mashable. "Friend's Take makes room for those who are always alongside you as you date and gives potential matches a richer, more authentic sense of who someone is before they meet."

Users can send a unique link to anyone to add a Friend's Take. No Hinge account is required on the other person's end, but they do have up to 72 hours to add their take before the link expires (or, until up to 10 people add a take).

The user can then pick and choose which takes to add to their profile, and have up to three displayed at one time.

Credit: Hinge

In a preview of Friend's Take attended by Mashable, Hinge representatives discussed how a dater's friends may be able to speak to their positive qualities better than the person themselves. In response to a question of whether someone can technically add their own take, pretending to be someone else, they said yes. (Though, like any dating profile fakery, the buck would stop when you meet someone IRL and realize their profile wasn't truly representative of them.)

"Your friends see you clearly, often more clearly than you see yourself," Hinge's lead relationship scientist, Logan Ury, said in the press release. "They know the qualities you'd never think to mention, like 'She's the sweetest dog mom' or 'He’d never admit this, but he's the person everyone calls in a crisis.'"

Hinge is introducing Friend's Take shortly after the official launch of the purple heartbeat feature, Signals, a literal signal of "thoughtful" dating behavior of the app. Hinge also recently released Date Ideas to make planning a meetup easier.

Friend's Take launches globally today, excluding India.

How to add a Friend's Take to your Hinge profile Total Time
  • 5-10 minutes
What You Need
  • Smartphone
  • Hinge account

Step 1: Tap to add a "Friend's Take" in the Edit Profile section of your Hinge account

Step 2: Send the link to whomever you want to add a Take to your profile.

Step 3: Your loved one adds a text, video, or photo response.

They have 72 hours to do so before the link expires, or until up to 10 people submit one.

Step 4: Review the takes and choose up to three to add to your profile at one time.

The Home Depots viral 12-foot skeleton can talk now

Mashable - 6 hours 27 min ago

Spooky season starts now — at least according to the Home Depot. Today, the hardware superstore unveiled nearly 30 new Halloween decorations and animatronics for 2026, including an app-controlled version of "Skelly," its iconic 12-foot skeleton prop.

The full Home Depot Halloween collection will be available online and on the Home Depot app this Thursday, July 16, while supplies last. There's no set start time, but past drops have gone live between 6 and 7 a.m. ET. Select products will arrive in stores sometime in August.

The new 12-foot Giant-Sized Animated LED App-Controlled Skelly marks the biggest update to the oversized lawn decoration since its viral debut in 2020. You can talk to trick-or-treaters through it in real time using a voice modulator on a companion mobile app. You can also record up to 30 voice lines for it to play. Servo motors make its head and jaw move, and LED lights inside of its ribcage produce a colorful glow. Additionally, its LCD LifeEyes can cycle through 20 different effects.

The Home Depot has introduced smaller upgrades and new accessories for Skelly over the years, but the big guy has never been this interactive or high-tech before. Last year, the retailer released a prototype of sorts with the 6.5-foot Ultra Skelly, which also had app-controlled voice effects, movements, and lighting. It will return this year as a web exclusive at the same price of $279.

The 12-foot app-controlled Skelly will cost $379 and also be sold online only. For those who don't want to splurge, the Home Depot will continue to sell the standard Skelly in stores and online at its usual price of $299. It has eight eye settings but is otherwise a static prop.

The Home Depot's 2026 Halloween collection features five more new giant animatronics. An 11-foot Mummy ($299) has motion-activated lights, posable shoulders, and removable cloth wrappings. It's a clear answer to the popular 12-foot mummy sold by competitor Lowe's for $349.

Ah!!! Credit: The Home Depot

The new eight-foot Perilous Plant Monster ($299) is a viny, tricephalous beast with motion-activated head movements and sound effects. It joins the Home Depot's "Wicked Woods" decor line, along with an evil nine-foot tree named Dry Rot Dennis ($299).

The new eight-foot-long, motion-activated Zombie Velociraptor ($299) is tailor-made for a Jurassic Park-themed display.

Finally, the 8.5-foot Knight Frostbane is a headless horseman with a skeletal steed. It has three different animations and five preset voice lines. At $399, it's the most expensive new giant in the Home Depot's 2026 Halloween lineup, and you can only buy it online.

Other fresh additions to this year's Home Depot Halloween collection include a five-foot Rotwing Parrot ($179) that answers yes or no questions, a 7.5-foot Soul-Stealing Reaper ($199), a six-foot Creeping Spider ($249), and an app-controlled version of the seven-foot "Lethal Lily" witch animatronic ($299) it sold in 2023 and 2024.

A few of these props were briefly up for grabs in April during the Home Depot's annual Halfway to Halloween sale. Most others will be available for purchase for the first time this week, and they'll probably sell out fast. The retailer's Halloween animatronics have a zealous fandom on Facebook, where users discuss new releases and flag annual restocks with "Code Orange" alerts.

6 hidden customization settings Microsoft buried in Windows

How-To Geek - 6 hours 57 min ago

Windows 11 is fairly customizable even without reaching for external solutions. It's just that Microsoft scattered many of its customization options all over the place instead of keeping them together in the Personalization tab. You can find some in other sections of Windows Settings, some are hidden away in places you have to go out of your way to access, and others can only be enabled via PowerShell.

T-Mobile is giving away the new Motorola Razr for free — how to get yours

Mashable - 7 hours 35 min ago

TL;DR: The new Motorola Razr is free with T-Mobile. Activate a new line on an Experience More plan to qualify for this limited-time promo.

Opens in a new window Credit: Motorola Motorola Razr Free when you activate a new line on an Experience More plan. Shop Now

Foldable phones are all anyone can talk about. Samsung has confirmed that new foldables will be announced in the upcoming Samsung Unpacked, Apple's foldable iPhone Ultra is on track for a September release, and Motorola has edged ahead of the competition by launching a range of nostalgia-inducing flip phones.

If you simply can't for Samsung and Apple to get involved, Motorola is your best bet. And better yet, mobile carriers like T-Mobile are giving away some of the best foldables from Motorola for free.

For a limited time, T-Mobile is giving away the new Motorola Razr for free. You don't need to trade anything in to qualify. You simply need to activate a new line on T-Mobile's Experience More plan. It's that easy.

It's important to note that T-Mobile isn't simply handing you the phone without a few strings attached.

Each month, your statement will display a standard finance charge for the phone, immediately followed by an equal promotional credit that balances that charge. What's happening here is you are entering a two-year commitment with the network. If you decide to cancel your service, move to a competing carrier, or upgrade to something else before the end of the 24-month period, the remaining unpaid balance on the phone's retail value will become due immediately.

So why the Motorola Razr? It offers a massive 3.6-inch Extreme AMOLED cover screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,700 nits. It also packs a massive 50-megapixel main sensor alongside a highly capable 50-megapixel ultrawide lens. It's all powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7450X processor, with 8GB of RAM, 256GB of built-in storage, and a robust 4,800mAh battery.

Score the new Motorola Razr for free with T-Mobile.

The Daily Show reacts to Trumps blunt words about Lindsey Grahams cause of death

Mashable - 8 hours 27 min ago

Donald Trump has already shared his rambling and confusing response to the death of Lindsey Graham, but now he's also given his thoughts on the senator's cause of death too — and they're just as bizarre.

"According to President Trump, Lindsey died from a specific medical— you know what, let's let the president just delicately explain it," says Daily Show host Michael Kosta in the monologue above, before playing a clip of Trump telling Newsmaxx's Greg Kelly that "a certain part of his body literally blew up."

"That's right, part of his body blew up," says a deadpan Kosta. "The New England Journal of Medicine calls it 'Spontaneous Kablooey Syndrome.'"

For what it's worth, Graham died of a tear in his main artery, according to a Washington DC medical examiner's preliminary findings.
