Despite making a name for itself courtesy of its feature phones and then smartphones, Motorola has also had a steady presence in the audio market. While all of these offerings have donned the Motorola logo, some of them, such as the Verve Ones+, have yet actually to be built by the company, but by a third party.

Lypertex X Headphone Zone PurePlay Z3 Review: The true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds market in India has a boatload of options for every need and budget. Doesn't matter if you're looking to buy earbuds for a gaming experience that requires low latency and clear mics, or purely for the auditory experience, there is an ocean of TWS earbuds that you can go for. That said, it can be tricky when looking for the perfect earbuds for you. Most of the budget TWS earbuds come with flashy LED lights, which although look pleasing to the eye, do not do anything for the mediocre listening experience they provide. In a saturated TWS market, brands such as Oppo and OnePlus have made quite a name for offering the best listening experience and a wide range of features, all under Rs. 6000.

If you've got a pair of AirPods that you use for all of your Apple products, you may have wondered whether or not they can be synced up and used with other non-Apple devices in your home. In particular, you may want to use them as a replacement for gaming headphones on your gaming consoles, such as the PlayStation 5. While you can't directly pair the AirPods with the PS5, however, you can pair them with a smart TV to allow you to use them on the console. Here's how to make that happen.

Being able to hear your games clearly is almost as important as being able to see them. Your Xbox Series X can handle the visual aspects just fine, but audio is down to your own setup. In a lot of cases, you may be playing in a shared space where you can't get away with blasting your game at maximum volume for full immersion, but also can't afford to invest in some expensive headsets. If you've already got a pair of AirPods laying around, those could be a great solution, though it might seem impossible to pair them to your console. Luckily, there is a workaround you can take advantage of.

iOS 18 could be the company's biggest update the iPhone has ever recovered, considering the number of front-facing features it will bring.

While the PS5 does indeed have Bluetooth built-in, there is little native support for headphones or other audio products; Bluetooth on the PS5 has been included primarily for connecting wireless keyboards and mice, as well as approved Sony products. Don’t fret, though: there is a way to connect your headset to your game console, and it’s relatively easy—assuming you’re willing to buy a Bluetooth transmitter.

Apple Inc. is planning an end-to-end overhaul of its AirPods lineup, refreshing a product category that's emerged as one of the company's biggest sellers. 

Yesterday, Apple officially confirmed the dates for its September event and revealed that this year's event will take place on September 12. The biggest Apple event of the year has been named ‘Wonderlust' this time, and it is expected to unveil the new iPhone 15 series and Apple Watch Series 9. The new iPhone 15 series is likely to ditch the Lightning port in favor of the USB-C port, as per reports. Now, new leaks are suggesting that AirPods may get an update to sport a USB-C-compatible charging case. The new AirPods could also be unveiled during the event.

Complaints are pouring in from AirPods Max users who claim that excessive sweating is wreaking havoc on their $500 audio gear. This issue, which has irked users since the product's launch, revolves around water condensation gathering around the inner drivers of the headphones.

Mobile accessories manufacturer Casetify has been on something of a tear recently with its collaborations, offering phone cases and other mobile accessories themed after properties like The Mandalorian and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Now, Pochita, the adorable chainsaw/pug/demon thing, and other characters from the popular anime and manga Chainsaw Man will soon get their own lineup of mobile accessories courtesy of Casetify starting on Aug. 22. And just like the other collaborations, these products aren’t cheap, with some items priced at up to $72.

Apple has been criticized incessantly for deliberately making the AirPods and the AirPods’ charging case difficult to repair, which only means consumers have little choice but to spend more money on a brand new case or a pair of earphones. Ken Pillonel, a modder and an engineer, who is best known for making the world’s first iPhone X with a USB-C port, has shared his journey on how he made an easily replaceable AirPods case battery, and to no one’s surprise, the entire process was more arduous than one could imagine.
