  • Jabra has been a staple in the noise-cancelling headphone game for some time now but the Jabra Elite 65e, a pair of earphones announced today that offers noise-cancellation and an 8-hour battery life, are its pièce de résistance. The headphones will be out in April this year and retail for $199/£169, and while that price tag sounds a bit high for wireless in-ears, the tech Jabra is cramming into each model makes it likely to be worth the high barrier to entry.

  • What if I’ve got the gift?’Well, I can proudly say that I have moved something using my mind. Unfortunately I haven’t developed true telekenetic powers; rather I used an EEG headset that measured my brain waves to activate a drone.

Any connected object, we can talk to, with the brain, using our interface.”And that last point is pretty sign

  • Sea of Thieves launches March 20 and, while it’s an Xbox One console exclusive, you can also run it on practically any Windows 10 PC you’d like. Whether you have MacBook Pro or even a simple basic budget laptop for college, you can run the game on just integrated graphics.

  • Leaked OnePlus 6 specs include a notch display, minimal bezel, and a 19:9 aspect ratio screen. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing from the new phone from Oppo, which also shares an investor, Oppo Electronics, with OnePlus. This gives us our strongest clue yet to the look of the upcoming OnePlus flagship, as OnePlus smartphones have a history of closely resembling Oppo smartphones. The Oppo R15’s notch design resembles that of the iPhone X fairly closely, but unlike the iPhone X’s 19.5:9 aspect

  • Samsung’s latest rugged tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 2, is coming stateside following its 2017 launch in other regions. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 , reportedly soon to be treated to Android Oreo , the Active 2 shares less in common with the company’s slick smartphone lineup. Our review of the 2015 Samsung Galaxy Tab Active saw that, despite its rugged build, it actually didn’t fare that well after taking several tumbles, so we’ll be sure to put its second iteration to task in the

  • Reports have emerged that Nintendo is working on new and improved Switch hardware. If Nintendo is not planning a hardware upgrade this year, then, it could be looking to introduce one in the future if the information uncovered from these files is accurate. It’s important to note they contain neither a timescale nor a definitive statement of intent from Nintendo, though certainly a minor hardware refresh after two years isn’t unheard of.

  • Will Wright, the designer behind games such as SimCity and The Sims, has announced at GDC in San Francisco that he’s working on a brand-new mobile game called Proxi. Wright is working with developer Gallium Artists to create Proxi in the Unity engine and, as you’d expect from Wright, it’s a simulation game.

Meanwhile, the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X could be had for roughly $430, which is again a steal compared to its original $549 (£375, AU$630) price. Of course, with rumors of Threadripper 2nd generation looming over the horizon, these super sales on existing chips shouldn’t surprise us. Multiple chips are dropping below their a
