Today, I’m talking with Kakul Srivastava, CEO of music creation platform Splice. I don’t think I need to really introduce Splice, actually — I just need to play this clip:If you exist on planet Earth, you know that as the guitar loop from Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso,” which is an inescapable pop music phenomenon. You can check out the sample in full right here in the “Espresso” chorus.That loop is part of a sample pack on Splice — in fact, most of Espresso is part of a sample pack on Splice, which is one of the biggest marketplaces for loops and…

Apple’s Mac mini has long been one of the best Macs you can buy. The new Mac mini is even teenier than the current model at 5×5 inches – almost the same size as an Apple TV 4K. It’s definitely handheld, per Apple’s own images. This new Mac mini comes with an M4 and M4 Pro chip option, as expected. And with all this power in such a small shell, its the best desktop Mac. Better yet, you can get it at its lowest price ever! Despite only being a few months old, Apple’s M4 Mac mini is discounted by $70 in…

Apple is bringing higher-fidelity audio to its AirPods Max headphones in April, the company announced today. When the $549 headphones switched to a USB-C connector last year, they lost support for wired audio playback — but it seems like Apple is about to rectify that with full lossless support, which even the prior Lightning model technically lacked.“With the included USB-C cable, users can enjoy the highest-quality audio across music, movies, and games, while music creators can experience significant enhancements to songwriting, beat making, production, and mixing,” the company wrote in a press release on Monday. “With this update, AirPods Max…

While Sonos has been making some of the top speakers for years, the brand never released a set of headphones. That all changed at the start of this year, with the Sonos Ace. They’re a solid set of headphones, attracting lots of praise – including our four star review that praised their sound quality and nosie cancellation. But fans have had one big gripe about the cans since launch – the price. Thankfully, the new Sonos headphones have just seen their first discount, bringing them down to their lowest price since launch. On Amazon UK, you’ll find the Sonos Ace…

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 series of flagship phones launched earlier this year and as usual there are three different models. Let’s compare them to see what’s the same between all three and, crucially, what’s different. As before, the new phones are called the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy S25+ (or ‘Plus’ if you prefer) and the standard Galaxy S25. You can now buy the new phones from $799/£799 for the Galaxy S25, $999/£999 for the Plus and $1,299/£1,249 for the Ultra. In the interests of full transparency, I don’t think there’s a huge amount different in this year’s models versus last year’s.…

Introduction It’s been a minute since we got a new entry-level iPhone. The last iPhone SE came out in 2022, with the same basic design as the iPhone 8 – which launched five years earlier – so to say it was overdue a refresh would be putting it nicely. But by not fitting the same affordable smartphone mould as its predecessor, the iPhone 16’s arrival divided opinion. Think of the iPhone 16e as a like-for-like iPhone SE replacement and you’ll be disappointed by the bump in size – and bigger bump in asking price. But look at it as a…

I review a lot of headphones, but one of my favorites from the last year are now at a great price. You’re no doubt familiar with the extremely popular AirPods, but Apple makes a lot more headphones. My pick for Apple’s best over-ear headphones isn’t AirPods Max, but rather the Beats Studio Pro. This much cheaper pair of headphones were launched in 2023 – two years after the AirPods Max. What’s more, they’re basically the same as AirPods Max inside – even capable of wired lossless audio, which AirPods Max aren’t. In the US, you can score Apple’s best over-ear…

It’s not every day you see a top-tier gadget drop to its lowest price since launch, but it’s Amazon’s Spring Sale and here we are. The GoPro Hero 13 Black is a darling of adventurers, content creators, and action junkies alike. Now, the GoPro Hero 13 is now $330 in the US, down from $400. Over in the UK, it’s yours for £300, a hefty drop from its £400 launch price. Both of these prices are lower than the camera reached on Black Friday. If you’re out of the loop, the Hero 13 Black is GoPro’s latest powerhouse. Its claim…

Need a new set of headphones? Wireless earbuds are a top pick thanks to their convenience, but often come with a hefty price tag to match. Amazon’s own Echo Buds truly wireless earbuds are a more affordable option, while still offering decent sound. In Amazon’s Spring Sale, the retail giant is heavily discounting its home-grown wireless buds. You can get the 2nd Gen Amazon Echo Buds for $35 – that’s a saving of 30% on the $50 RRP. Over on Amazon UK, they’re also reduced. You can nab them for £38 instead of £55 – an almost identical 31% saving. We…
