The CMF Headphone Pro are available starting today in the EU and UK, but US customers will have to wait until October 7th, 2025, to grab a pair. At $99 they’re much cheaper than Nothing’s $299 Headphone 1 and offer more customizability. The Headphone Pro come in subtle dark gray, light green, and light gray color options, but you can add some color contrast with replacement $25 ear cushions that come in bright orange or light green.Like Nothing’s first over-ears, CMF’s Headphone Pro eschew touch-sensitive panels for tactile buttons designed to be easy to find and discern. In addition to…
They might look a bit like you’ve strapped a pair of Mentos to your head, but CMF’s first ever pair of over-ear headphones are smarter than their candy-inspired exterior suggest. The Nothing sub-brand has added tactile controls, adaptive noise cancelling and epic endurance, as well as swappable ear cushions – in case the mint green colours didn’t stand out enough already for your liking. These cans aren’t just a more colourful version of the Nothing Headphones 1; the CMF Headphone Pro has a unique set of on-board controls, including an Energy Slider that lets you tweak bass or treble without…

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman Apple is testing Siri’s upcoming revamp using an internal chatbot called Veritas. The company’s struggles as it tries to keep pace in the AI race are no secret. The next-gen Siri has been delayed multiple times and the debut of Apple Intelligence was met with a tepid response. Veritas gives Apple the ability to quickly develop, test, and collect feedback on new Siri features like “search[ing] through personal data… and perform[ing] in-app actions like editing photos.“According to Gurman Veritas resembles other chatbot apps like ChatGPT and Gemini. Employees type requests, have back and forth conversations,…
For most of his career Larry Ellison has been content to quietly let Oracle be the company, behind the company, behind the technology that makes headlines. Its biggest products being cloud computing and database products that it sells to enterprise customers like DHL, Northwell Health, and Fanatics. But, now in his 80s, Ellison has begun a second act shifting from Silicon Valley pioneer, to media mogul.Compared to many of the other people at the top of the Forbes Billionaires list, Larry Ellison tends to keep a low profile. That’s not to say he hasn’t seen his fair share of headlines,…
Thousands of the best free iPhone and iPad games are available to download for free. The sheer selection is part of the reason the iPhone is among the best phones on sale today.

However, the standouts are some of the best free games around for mobile. That’s what we’re interested in at Stuff: the very best iPhone and iPad games to play today! To help you find your next mobile obsession,…
Donald Trump is no stranger to outlandish conspiracies or strange social media posts. But, by any measure, his post on Saturday night was particularly bizarre. The president posted (and later removed) a clip on Truth Social of a Fox News segment with Lara Trump detailing the White House’s announcement of the world’s first MedBed hospital and a national MedBed card system (two things that very much do not exist). There was no additional context, no text to explain things. Confusing matters more, the video appears to be completely AI generated, including Trump himself discussing the program in the Oval Office.…
As the nation’s foremost FineWoven hater, I have some great news about Apple’s follow-up: it doesn’t suck. I’ve been using a TechWoven case on an iPhone 17 Pro for the past week and I have no complaints. I took it up a mountain; I stored it in the sweaty back pocket of my yoga pants on a bike ride. I carried it next to my keys, gave it to my toddler, and handled it while measuring out ingredients for banana bread. It’s fine. Fine is good.Remember FineWoven? Apple introduced the material in 2023 when the company discontinued its leather cases…
The last few months, I’ve felt like I’m living in a cyberpunk movie. Each night, when I get ready to wind down, I reach for the remote to turn on a TV I got for free. When I hit the power button, a 55-inch screen lights up, but so does a smaller display beneath it. Widgets fill the secondary screen alongside a rotating ad that you can’t dismiss.Before I can even navigate to the Netflix app, I hear something. “Hello, hello friends!” A smiling woman appears on the screen wearing a gray dress, her brown hair neatly styled into gentle…
Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 99, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, happy pumpkin spice season, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.)This week, I’ve been reading about Lizzo and Uniqlo and book thieves and Max Verstappen, obsessing over both Black Rabbit and The Lowdown, eating aggressively too many Pop’ums pretzels, listening to everything in the AirPods Pro 3s, updating my old Ray-Ban Metas to see if the AI is any good, meal planning with Crouton, and posting all my junk for free…
I’ve been a fan of Dyson vacuums long before I started reviewing vacuum cleaners for a living. One of the reasons I rate them highly is despite often being on the pricier side of the clean machine scale, they last a long time. Case in point is my trusty V8 – I can’t remember when I brought it (Dyson launched the V8 model back in 2016) but I know it’s been a clean companion of mine for a number of years and has seen two house moves and a renovation. At the time of its launch, the original Dyson V8 vacuum…
Nintendo’s first-party Switch 2 Pro Controller can’t be beaten when it comes to its breadth of features and comfort. But at $89.99, let’s be real, it’s way too expensive for most people. Thankfully, a controller I’ve been testing recently, which is nearly as good despite lacking a 3.5mm audio jack, is currently on sale for $40 less. The EasySMX S10, as it’s called, is available for $50.39 from EasySMX with code GETS10.The S10 is comfortable to use for long gaming sessions, and it has features that aren’t commonly built into third-party gamepads, including amiibo support and rumble that feels like…
