  • AirPods Max vs Sony XM6 - Over-ear headphones shootout

    Why bother to review headphones without comparing the sound? Seriously, features comparisons mean little without discussing the sound quality, which is the core feature of headphones. It's like comparing cars without mentioning the engine or doing a test drive.

  • How Apple's use of eucalyptus in Apple 2030 is controversial

    In California, Eucalyptus trees have been caused several forest fires. The trees contain hot oil that can explode from the tree and cause spontaneous combustion in debris on the forest floor. Those fires spread quickly. Eucalyptus, as noted earlier, is native to Australia, but was planted in California a long time ago. Transplanting non-native vegetation (and species) to areas is often a bad idea. Could eucalyptus cause fires in the Amazon Rain Forest? That certainly would negate any carbon sequestering advantage.

  • Sonos' scrapped MagSafe speaker would have had trouble finding a target market

    It's potentially a good idea, depending upon the sound quality. I would use it for travel, in hotel rooms, for example. But, I already have a Sonos Roam for that purpose, so I wouldn't be in the market for a speaker like this unless the sound quality were at least as good as the Roam. Also, as Apple4thewin noted, it needs a kickstand or else the speaker is going to be pointed at the ceiling.

  • Apple brings back dark black for the iPhone 16 Pro

    The color is matte black, not matt black. Matt Black is probably the name of a secret agent in a Netflix spy movie.

  • New Music & audio enhancements plus a mysterious 'Passthrough' feature are coming at WWDC

    I don't know, but I suspect that Passthrough might describe a feature that would allow Apple Music to play Dolby Atmos on Sonos speakers. It has been unfortunate that Sonos speakers only play Atmos/Spatial Audio through the Sonos App. It would be great if that were supported directly by Apple Music.
