“Everyone is so passionless about technology,” said Nothing cofounder Carl Pei when WIRED spoke to him about his upstart brand, known for its striking clear plastic designs, two years ago. “On hardware, it’s basically more and more of the same. Less and less differentiation, and consumers aren’t as excited anymore. People don’t want to watch launch events.” The brand still claims to be hellbent on reshaping the look, feel, and product structure of the consumer tech. Cofounder Akis Evangelidis ec…

This massive TV is brighter, cheaper, and easier to use than a projector.

Earlier this year at CES, Samsung announced its 2024 TV model lineup, which includes screens with Mini LED displays, quantum-dot-enabled OLEDs, and other, more affordable TVs. We like what we’ve seen so far, which makes Samsung’s current TV promotion pretty exciting if a new TV is in your budget for this year. If you preorder a select Samsung screen between now and April 11, 2024, you can qualify for a free 65-inch Samsung TU690T Crystal UHD model while supplies last. Full disclosure: We have ye…

Tune out (or rock out) with our favorite over-ears and earbuds. +++lead-in-text Shaking off the world and sinking into a new album can feel like a train ride through the countryside … unless you’re sharing that seat with two young toddlers. Or if your neighbor’s dog is barking. Come to think of it, there are a lot of sounds that can ruin a good song. That’s why we have headphones that isolate and cancel out noise. Below are the best noise-canceling headphones and earbuds you can buy, handpicked…

Ready to cut the cord? These are our favorite buds that will never, ever get tangled. +++lead-in-text Wireless earbuds are one of those ideas that sounded like a dream at first. Pop a little headphone into each ear and listen to music or take calls untethered from everything. The first wireless buds were gigantic, died after a few hours, and had a bunch of other problems. Times have changed. There are now tons of new models that sound fabulous and work perfectly. After testing hundreds over the…

According to my wife, the world comes with two types of people in it, “soakers” and “non-soakers.” She is the latter. Without question, I am the former. I still dream of a world in which I never need to leave the shower, living my life in a cozy, warm mist like Kramer in that one episode of Seinfeld. One of the first things I wanted to do when my wife and I snagged our one-bathroom bungalow was upgrade the plumbing. Our water pressure, and the associated showerhead that the previous owners attac…

I like a fancy pair of headphones and a gorgeous TV as much as the next nerd, but what really gets me going these days is European Spa Source’s Eucalyptus Shower Spa Mist. No, I’m serious. It’s not a new piece of tech, but have you ever wondered why fancy hotel spas smell like the inside of God’s armpit while your bathroom smells like dirty washcloths? It’s this stuff. A few spritzes of spa mist before I hop into the shower, and my entire brain feels like it’s getting a massage as the steam buil…

When I was a kid, I always gravitated toward racing games in arcades. I especially liked when they had force feedback in their controls, allowing me to imagine some semblance of the virtual road through the wheel. When I rediscovered these things as an adult with a gaming PC, I discovered I had missed a lot since I was Cruis’n the World. Over the past few years, as I’ve gotten more and more into sim racing, as it’s come to be called, I’ve gone through a series of Logitech controllers and gaming…

From powering your home to towing a massive trailer, this all-electric truck can do everything (except road trips) better than the previous fossil-fueled generation.

In the world of audio, drivers aren’t people behind steering wheels, they’re the tiny objects that physically produce sound. These tiny speakers come in many forms, from piston-like dynamic drivers you’d recognize as miniature speaker cones to more advanced forms of, essentially, magnetically moving a diaphragm in the air to create sound waves. In my time as an audio reviewer, dozens of companies have claimed to have the best, cleanest, most perfect driver technology ever. Some of it has sounded…

From record cleaners to slip mats, these extras are for budding enthusiasts and die-hard collectors alike. +++lead-in-text Whether you’ve just started spinning analog audio or you’ve been building a collection for years, good vinyl accessories can take your enjoyment—and your records’ longevity—to the next level.
