CES 2026 is in full swing and open earbuds are having a moment in the spotlight. Premium audio brand JBL announced five new open-ear options, Shokz debuted a new pair of noise-reducing open earbuds, and Soundcore dropped the AeroFit 2 Pros. If you can't wait to get your ears on a pair, the latter is already available for purchase on Soundcore's website for an exclusive launch price — listen up.

As of Jan. 6, the new Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro open earbuds are available on Soundcore.com for an exclusive launch price of $149.99. That's $30 off the list price when you use the code WSTDA3875US (the code should automatically appear in your cart). The discount is available through March 31, so you have some time to decide whether they're the right pick for you. Currently, only the matte black color option is available to ship — the matte purple and gloss white will ship toward the end of the month.

The AeroFit 2 Pro offer a combination of features we've never seen before: both an open design and active noise cancellation. Thanks to adjustable ear hooks, you can adjust the earbuds to sit outside the ear for an open listening experience or inside the ear canal like traditional noise-cancelling earbuds. With five adjustment levels on each ear hook, you should be able to find the most comfortable fit for your ears. The dual sensors on each earbud are designed to detect which way you're wearing them and adapt the sound to provide the best listening experience possible. As open earbuds, they'll last around seven hours with an extra 34 in the case. As ANC earbuds, they'll hold about five hours per charge and 24 with the case.

The original AeroFit 2 open earbuds are one of Mashable's top picks, thanks to their comfortable fit, translation features, price, and sound quality. So we have pretty high hopes for the AeroFit 2 Pros.

The latest Toyota Prius is still a solid option, even in a market obsessed with SUVs. It shows there’s still a place for affordable, efficient hatchbacks, but its more upscale direction also means the interior doesn’t always feel as premium as the price suggests.

I run Android apps on my Windows machine from time to time. Sometimes it's just better to play a video game on a big monitor with better hardware. Other times, I just want to access certain apps that aren't available on the desktop. For example, my bank has a great mobile app but a terrible website, so I prefer running the Android app on my computer instead. Here's how I do it.

Now that we're getting back into the swing of normal life after the holidays, it's time to consider upgrades for the year ahead. If you live in an area that deals with power outages from storms or you like to take off on camping adventures, you could probably benefit from a portable power station. There's a great deal in store today at Amazon on a solid model.

As of Jan. 6, the Anker Solix F1500 portable power station is on sale for $499 at Amazon, marked down from the list price at Anker of $1,199. That's a 59% discount that takes a whopping $700 off the normal price. This sale price matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

Consider what a 1,536Wh battery could do to improve life during a power outage or while camping. You'll get over 20 hours of using a CPAP machine or almost an hour and a half of time with the coffee maker. Take it out on a road trip or while camping to recharge a phone almost 100 times or use a 40W air pump for over 20 hours.

Anker equipped the Solix F1500 with six AC ports, four USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. Another huge benefit of the Solix F1500 is the built-in lightbar, which is always useful when camping or during a power outage. The two side handles also make carrying the power station much more manageable since it weighs about 44 pounds.

Instead of sitting in the dark during the next power outage worrying about the food in the freezer, upgrade to the reassurance of the Anker Solix F1500. It's back at an all-time low price at Amazon of $499.

As useful as a NAS can be, it's also hardware that's really expensive to set up—a good NAS with several terabytes of storage might cost more than your PC did. So you definitely don't want any of those drives failing and sacrificing your data.

We're nearing the second-best time of year to buy a TV: NFL playoff season. But the Sony Bravia 7 clearly isn't waiting around for playoffs to begin; it's already down to its best price ever.

As of Jan. 6, you can pick up the massive Sony 85-inch Bravia 7 QLED Mini LED 4K TV at Amazon for $2,098. That's 25% off its current list price of $2,799.99 (as noted on the Sony website) and its lowest price on record.

While it may not be quite as impressive as Sony's Bravia 9 TV, the Bravia 7 is less than half the cost and comes with many of the same features. And TBH, most people won't notice much of a difference between the two models. It packs mini LED backlighting for captivating brightness, an XR processor that enhances scenes in real time, gaming optimization with exclusive features for PS5, and the Google TV experience to streamline your streaming setup. Gamers and cinephiles will also appreciate its 120Hz refresh rate, Auto HDR Tone Mapping, and Auto Genre Picture Mode, which enhance picture quality for both gaming and streaming.

If you don't want to spend the cash on a top-of-the-line OLED TV, but still want a big screen that looks good, a mini LED model like the Bravia 7 is a good bet. And now's the best time to grab it, as it's the lowest price we've seen.

I never leave the house without a few essential items. I'm talking about my smartphone, wallet, keys, along with my daily carry pocket knife and a flashlight. I've tested dozens of flashlights over the years, and after seeing this particular model go viral on social media, I decided to pick one up. Now, I'm confident in saying it's the best $20 I've spent in a long time.

In its Season 3 finale, Industry blew itself up entirely.

The episode saw the shutdown of Pierpoint & Co.'s trading floor, eliminating the offices that had been the show's home since Season 1. It was the boldest move yet from a series that's never met a stake it couldn't raise.

So how do Industry co-creators Mickey Down and Konrad Kay follow up that explosive Season 3 move? With a jaw-dropping Season 4 that's just as ambitious as the young traders at Industry's core.

Letting go of Pierpoint gives Industry the freedom to truly scatter its characters to the winds. Harper Stern (Myha'la) remains firmly rooted in the world of finance, running her own fund with backing from billionaire Otto Mostyn (Roger Barclay). Most of her Industry compatriots, however, have left the financial world behind. Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela), now married to Henry Muck (Kit Harington), has embraced aristocratic life. Eric Tao (Ken Leung) spends his time on the golf links in cushy quasi-retirement following his firing from Pierpoint. Robert Spearing (Harry Lawtey) is gone from the show entirely after his Season 3 departure to California.

Yet despite their seeming successes, Harper, Yasmin, and Eric are all itching for something new. Harper chafes against Otto and her clients' demands, Yasmin feels stifled in her marriage to an increasingly aimless Henry, and Eric is rudderless without work to attack.

Enter Tender, a buzzy payment processor with plans to become a "bank killer." This promising fintech company catches Harper and Yasmin's eyes in very different ways. For Yasmin, it's a path back into power, for both her and Henry. For Harper, it's her next target.

As Harper and Yasmin play different sides of Tender's rise, they ally themselves with new members of Industry's sprawling ensemble: Yasmin with Tender CFO Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella), his personal assistant Haley Clay (Kiernan Shipka), and Labour Minister Jennifer Bevan (Amy James-Kelly); Harper with FinDigest journalist Jim Dycker (Charlie Heaton) and her network of traders, including Sweetpea Golightly (Miriam Petche), Rishi Ramdani (Sagar Radia), and newcomer Kwabena Bannerman (Toheeb Jimoh). With these battle lines drawn, Harper and Yasmin hurtle towards a showdown that takes Industry to new heights.

As Industry's young cast of characters has grown and made larger career leaps, the show has grown with them. Initially a close look at the competitive inner workings of Pierpoint, Industry has since spiraled into a wider examination of global politics and economics. That's especially true of Season 4, which features more trips abroad and more involvement from the UK government. A particularly prescient storyline revolves around the UK's age-verification laws, continuing Industry's trend of grounding itself in current events.

Industry's evolution is not just one of scale, but of form, too. Season 3 incorporated new stylistic elements, breaking up its trading floor chaos with extended flashbacks, drug trips, and lavish riffs on Uncut Gems. Season 4 keeps the momentum going, from a spectacular costume ball crash out at Henry and Yasmin's manor to a globe-trotting conspiracy that allows Sweetpea to unleash her inner Erin Brockovich. It's exhilarating to see these big swings in action, as Industry taps into Harper's "high risk, high reward" mindset with great success. Not every risk pays off, with some late-season developments verging on the ridiculous, but it's still fun to watch a show decide to go big or go home.

Spectacle alone doesn't make a great show, though, and thankfully, Industry doesn't fall into that trap. The series remains a deep dive into the wants and ambitions that fuel us, even to our detriment. Often, these characters will destroy everything, even themselves, if it means they can get what they want. Their desires warp their sense of self, until all that's left are stomach-churning downfalls and choices that will leave your head spinning. These nightmarish cycles turn the (few) moments when Industry's characters come to their senses into stark miracles.

But whether Industry's ensemble is hurtling towards destruction or realization, one thing remains the same across the board: Even without Pierpoint, Industry is undeniably intoxicating.

Industry Season 4 premieres Jan. 11 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max.

Here's everything this tiny operating system can do.

Robin Hood as a merry rogue robbing the rich to give to the poor couldn't be much further from the image of a bearded Hugh Jackman in the trailer above.

Jodie Comer, Bill Skarsgård, Murray Bartlett, and Noah Jupe also star in this latest from A Quiet Place: Day One writer/director Michael Sarnoski.
