Beoplay’s H4 Wireless Cans Bring Primo Sound at a...

What"s New ·

2017/02/13

A couple of years ago, the luxurious leather-wrapped Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H7s were our favorite Bluetooth headphones. The over-ear H7s sounded as gorgeous as they looked, and they even smelled great. The problem, if anything, was the price. At $400, the H7s weren’t the cheapest options by any means. And while the new $300 Beoplay H4s aren’t exactly bargain-bin cans either, they offer nearly the same roster of specs as the H7s for $100 less. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

2017/02/10

Flipboard exists in stark contrast to your Facebook News Feed or Twitter timeline. It doesn't rely on your high school friends to share whatever junk they're reading, nor does it ask you to follow the right combination of 800 people. Flipboard's always been a quieter place that you can fill with news stories you like. Today, Flipboard is rolling out a brand-new version of its platform that introduces what it calls "Smart Magazines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How To Stop Your Smart TV From Spying on You

What"s New ·

2017/02/09

This week, Vizio, which makes popular, high-quality, affordable TV sets, agreed to pay a $2.2 million fine to the FTC. As it turns out, those same TVs were also busily tracking what their owners were watching, and shuttling that data back to the company’s servers, where it would be sold to eager advertisers. That’s every bit as gross as it sounds, but Vizio’s offense was one of degree, not of kind. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

All Gaming PCs Should Look as Gorgeous as the Wooden...

2017/02/07

You know what gaming PCs look like, right? Big, LED-lit cubes that look ready to hatch tiny evil cyborgs. Lesser Doctor Who villains. Mean but tidy igneous rocks. You get the idea. The Volta V, from Computer Direct Outlet, disagrees. It thinks a gaming PC looks like a beautiful, handcrafted wooden box. Thank goodness. The Volta V, which ships this March, provides a high-powered option for people who equally value inner strength and outer tranquility. It’s a 5. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

2017/02/06

Here at WIRED Book Club, we tend to read newer writers. Ted Chiang isn’t exactly that. Since publishing his first short story, “Tower of Babylon,” in 1990, he’s averaged less than a story a year, quietly cultivating a modest but devoted fan base that recognizes his work for what it is: sharp, spare, intensely thought-through science fiction. “Literary,” as some like to call it.

Binti: Home doesn’t pick up exactly where its Hugo-winning predecessor left off.

The trip goes horrifically wrong, but by the end, she’s there, has a new friend, and is ready to start learning.

2017/02/01

Toy Fair is almost upon us, which makes this week basically Christmas Eve for Nerf fans. Here are three blasters you can unwrap early: the Raptorstrike, which uses Nerf’s most accurate darts yet; the Twinshock, the first blaster to shoot two Mega darts at once, and the Modulus Regulator, which… well, it’s dope. While these three aren’t the full extent of Nerf’s 2017 arsenal expansion, each adds a new dimension to what blasters can do. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Elon Musk’s Plan to Tunnel Under LA Is Misguided...

2017/01/30

Elon Musk is supes annoyed with LA's atrocious traffic and wants to dig a tunnel under it all. It's true that getting around Los Angeles is a pain, but this is a tremendously stupid idea. Not because tunnels are expensive (true), or because he'd need a pile of permits to start boring(also true), but because his harebrained scheme won't actually help. I am actually going to do this - Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 17, 2016 Exciting progress on the tunnel front. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

In a recent episode of MacGyver, Angus (that's what his REALLY close friends call him) builds a Leyden jar with some very simple components. Of course there is some awesome physics here, so I will obviously go over this. Full disclosure-I'm currently the Technical Consult for the MacGyver show. What is a Leyden Jar?

2017/01/23

The camera market has long been segmented into three basic categories: Cameras for professionals, models for the so-called “serious hobbyists,” and models for the newcomer. From DSLRs to action cams and point-and-shoots, most cameras are squarely aimed at one of these three markets. The market for aerial photography (aka drones with real cameras on them) is about 150 years younger, and therefore somewhat less segmented. Learn more about your ad choices.

The best place on the planet to watch a movie is almost certainly from the center seat in the second-to-last row of the David Keighley Theater at IMAX’s headquarters in Playa Vista, CA. The theater seats 95, all in the shadow of a screen 60 feet wide and 42 feet tall. Twelve channels of sound project from the walls, the ceiling, and the deep recesses of your soul. Everything is black, with deep blue lighting that disappears as soon as any of the six laser projectors starts up. Learn more about your

It’s exciting in general to get yourhands on a gaming machine for the first time, asI did this morning in New York at Nintendo’s first big Switch preview. But it’s doubly fun because Switch, coming March 3 for $299, is sounique. At its core, it’s a tablet with a 6.2-inch screen (a little bigger than an iPhone 7 Plus).
