Amazon launched the new generation of its smart speakers and displays. The company is talking about the “most advanced Echo line-up to date”. This involves four new devices: Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8, and Echo Show 11. The models should not only have better sound, but also impress with a sharper screen.

CMF devices are not only more affordable than Nothing’s, but they also come with unique touches that help them stand out. Now, the company is following Nothing’s lead by launching its first over-ear headphones, called Headphones Pro.

Do headphones costing $300 or more sound very different from a model that costs a fraction of that? Or are we just simply paying for hyped-up marketing and attractive packaging? The question is almost as old as time itself—and yet, more relevant than ever. The choice is overwhelming: from $25 models from the humble electronics store to high-end models that might cost you a weekend holiday out of state. The truth lies, as so often is the case, in between.

This time, it’s a more high-end addition to their P series, the Px8 S2.

Normal in-ear headphones usually don’t feature particularly good call quality—this means the person on the other line doesn’t understand you perfectly at times. Dedicated headsets, on the other hand, are often not very comfortable to wear and cannot be used for leisure purposes. With the OpenRock Link 20, you have both functions in a single device. As a pair of open-ear headphones, they are ideal for listening to music during sports or while on the move. You can also easily connect a microphone boom via a magnet to perform video calls with high voice quality when the need arises.

It seems almost inconsequential: two letters, barely visible even when printed—L and R, signifying Left and Right. Anyone who puts on a pair of headphones tend to casually take a glance, place them on their ears, and that’s it. What are the letters there for, actually? Wouldn’t it sound the same if you were to wear it differently? The short answer: no. The long answer is about how our brain decodes audio—and why an incorrectly worn pair of headphones can cause the entire sound architecture to collapse.
