"Sony has finally revealed its WH-1000XM6 headphones, some three years after the XM5 debuted, and has called the new hardware an act of revision, rather than revolution. That's definitely a fair label, but it shouldn't obscure the fact that quite a lot has changed between generations here. If you're an XM5 owner thinking about upgrading, or a potential buyer who's held off in hopes of a new model, you're in luck – I've had the headphones in hand for a week, now. That's meant a whole heap of daily use to test them out, and a deep familiarity with what's new." 🔗 Read more here: https://www.t3.com/tech/headphones/sonys-new-1000xm6-headphones-are-a-must-have-thanks-to-these-5-changes?utm_source=WhatsApp&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=WhatsApp

"It’s been a while. After releasing the WH-1000XM5 in 2022, Sony left the longest gap it’s ever allowed between models in its flagship wireless headphone line, a gap that now closes with the arrival of the highly anticipated XM6 upgrade. It’s an upgrade that has some fairly immediate benefits, too, at a price that remains on the very premium end of the market. The biggest change, though, and the one that I suspect will please the most observers and XM5 users, is the return of folding hinges to let the headphones stow away far more compactly. You wouldn’t necessarily spot that immediately, since the XM6’s new magnetically-sealing case doesn’t get them quite as small as they can go, but the fold is basically back to XM4 levels for those who want to chuck them in a bag."

To everyone’s surprise, running watch manufacturer extraordinaire Garmin has just announced not just its latest flagship multisport watch and a new heart rate strap (Forerunner 970 and HRM 600, respectively), but it also dropped a bomb by replacing the 200 Series with a brand new addition to its wearable line: the Forerunner 570. The new performance watch replaces the Garmin Forerunner 265 as the new mid-range option for athletes who need a bit more support than the Forerunner 165 can provide, but don’t quite want to remortgage their homes to buy a Forerunner 965. 🔗 Read more here: https://www.t3.com/active/fitness-trackers/garmins-latest-running-watch-surprised-not-just-me-but-the-community-as-a-whole-too?utm_source=WhatsApp&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=WhatsApp
