From Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic to Focal and Sony, there are plenty of options out there.

Instead of fading out, the trend has continued to dominate the foldable phone market and the Galaxy Z Flip just launched its 5th generation handset this past fall.

For some items, we're seeing a shift in price, while others are exactly the same as they were yesterday with extended sale pricing.

Run by the CTA - Consumer Technology Association - the Consumer Electronics Show is notorious because it's held in Las Vegas - the city of sin - but also because it was designed to focus on consumer products. It's the largest event in the tech calendar, often seeing some of the biggest launches of the year, or outlining some of the biggest trends in technology for the next 12 months.

While it was possible to get some sleep data through third party apps on the Apple Watch, native support for sleep tracking only arrived in 2020 and that only included basic sleep tracking, with no sleep stages offered. It wasn't until the launch of watchOS 9 in 2022 that sleep stages arrived and sleep tracking on Apple Watch became more useful and more in line with what is offered by the likes of Fitbit and Garmin on their devices.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 13:30:19 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/best-shooters-playstation-5-ps5/ Meta and its most popular products - Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp - are a mainstay in the lives of most people nowadays, and for good reason. Using them allows you to keep in touch with your loved ones, and check up on your friends, but also spend some time doing nothing to relax and forget about your worries.

In fact, the average Deezer user listens to 88 hours and 39 minutes of music per year. Are you above average, below average, or bang on the money?

Up until about a year ago, I still had one of the original cylindrical Echos in my kitchen, taking up a ton of shelf space with its chunky form factor. Replacing it with a modern Echo was a revelation. The Echo Pop packs all the same features as that device did with better audio in a tiny fraction of the space, and right now it's on sale for the lowest price we've seen in months.

Many of these discounts have been even better than what we saw during Black Friday. Whether you want something from Apple, Samsung, or Google, we found plenty of discounts for you. But the most significant price drops don't last past tonight, so if you planned to make a large tech purpose, tonight's the night.

]]> Tue, 28 Nov 2023 00:50:08 GMT https://www.pocket-lint.com/black-friday-best-buy/ Now, don't get us wrong, buying the best hard drive for music production isn't exactly the most extravagant or inspirational purchase, but it could potentially be one of your smartest. Chances are, you’ll have bought the best PC for music production with plenty of memory. After all, we all know saving recorded music files and huge band projects from a DAW takes up lots of room.

This three-pack of Blink Outdoor 4 wireless cameras came across my desk, and I had to do a quick double-take to ensure it was real. Three of these cameras typically sell for $270, but Best Buy has them marked down to $135, which is 50 percent off. If you've been on the fence about getting security cameras for your home because of the cost, this is your sign to take the plunge and give your house the protection it deserves at a sizable discount.
