The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is over $100 off |
https://www.engadget.com/deals/the-sonos-beam-gen-2-is-over-100-off-152909480.html?src=rss

A good soundbar is one of the easiest ways to improve the audio quality of your home theater set up As it happens the Sonos Beam Gen which is one of our favorite mid range soundbars is currently available for its best price to date at least for a new and not refurbished model It has dropped by to at Woot That s percent off the regular price but bear in mind that the offer only applies to the white version The Sonos Beam does a bang up job of delivering solid audio from your TV or music or podcast service It delivers impressive sound for its size even if it lacks upward firing speakers While the first Beam lacked Dolby Atmos support Sonos made sure to include it this time around That makes a world of difference even if Sony is relying on audio processing tech to simulate the Dolby Atmos experience which traditionally requires upward firing speakers We gave the Sonos Beam Gen a score of in our review One of the main downsides is that it only has one HDMI port That means you won t be able to connect a games console or set top box to the soundbar directly You ll also need an adapter to use it with an older TV that has an optical jack Otherwise the Beam is a great soundbar option It s a cinch to set up and as you might imagine it connects to other Sonos speakers to easily help you build out a whole home audio setup The soundbar works with many major music streaming services too such as Spotify Apple Music and Amazon Music It also works with Alexa and Google Assistant Annoyingly the latter doesn t play nicely with Apple Music on the soundbar but Sonos own voice assistant supports the streaming service Despite the trade offs you should be able to find some kind of voice assistant and music streaming service that works Follow EngadgetDeals on Twitter and subscribe to the Engadget Deals newsletter for the latest tech deals and buying advice This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

Dyson OnTrac headphones review: When the basics aren’t enough |
https://www.engadget.com/audio/headphones/dyson-ontrac-headphones-review-when-the-basics-arent-enough-151518312.html?src=rss

When you hear the words Dyson headphones the first thing that comes to mind is likely the Bane like Zone The company debuted its air purifying wearable in but woefully short battery life kept the product from being useful on a daily basis Now Dyson is back with another version and its sole purpose is to provide audio and active noise cancellation ANC for normal use The OnTrac headphones have a classic Dyson color scheme and build with long battery life but the lack of advanced features keep this premium set of cans from competing with the best Design I d wager if you fed an AI image generator the prompt Dyson headphones you d get something similar to the OnTrac There s no doubt what company made these cans with clear nods to things like vacuums air purifiers and hair care devices That s especially true of the copper navy and silver color combo on my review unit a trio of hues that has appeared on previous products from Dyson To maintain the premium look for these very high end headphones the company used a combination of metals and ceramics for the outer shells of the ear cups Depending on your color preference the options include copper aluminum black nickel blue green gray or red Then there are the micro suede cloth wrapped ear pads in another seven hues Dyson says it will sell additional sets of the outer caps and cushions with over possible combinations across all of the components That is a high degree of customization if you re willing to pay even more than the initial Those interchangeable materials accompany a segmented headband and rotating gimbal esque construction that once again recalls previous Dyson gear The company says it put the two battery cells in the headband for better weight distribution which is why the two side sections of that component are rigid and only the center one is plush and cushiony Along the back edges of the ear cups are controls for power pairing on the left with a playback joystick on the right That latter option allows you to play pause skip tracks and adjust volume in addition to activating a voice assistant Billy Steele for Engadget While I praise Dyson for using mostly physical controls here the joystick does take some getting used to You have to be very precise so you don t press down whatsoever when you re actually trying to move up down or to the side I still regularly pause the music when I m trying to change the volume even after a few weeks of use The outside of both ear cups are touch enabled allowing you to cycle through ANC and transparency mode with a double tap This works well reliably accepting inputs even when I only get the edge of the panel Dyson s decision to stick the battery in the headband does help with overall comfort The OnTrac headphones remained plenty cozy for hours at a time and never felt heavy despite their size My only gripe here is that the ear cups are round instead of oval I don t mind them from an aesthetic standpoint but when I go to put them on my oval shaped ears I have to adjust the headphones with a few wiggles for a good fit It s not like most sets where I just put them on and my ears are in the sweet spot Plus the OnTrac is big and bulky So even if they are comfortable you ll want to take that into account if you plan to use these for travel Features and software The OnTrac headphones work with the MyDyson app but there aren t a lot of features there You get the usual battery percentage noise controls EQ options and on board control tutorial right up front The EQ menu is limited to three presets Enhanced Bass Boost and Neutral with the first being the default and the best Diving into the settings menu via the gear icon lets you disable automatic head detection and keep listening volume under dB One unique thing that Dyson puts in the main app interface for OnTrac is a real time sound exposure graph This displays both in ear sound level and external noise over the last seconds Staying below dB for in ear measurements will keep you out of the red here That corresponds with about percent volume which is almost painfully loud on these headphones The OnTrac doesn t have any advanced features like automatic speech detection or adaptive ANC both of which you ll find on Sony s XM There s also no spatial audio option which has become a core element of most flagship headphones and earbuds in recent years Not only does Dyson lag behind the competition in this area but it s also significantly pricier than most alternatives The basics are well covered in terms of features but that s about it Sound quality Billy Steele for Engadget The real measure of headphones after all is sound quality Dyson packs in mm drivers capable of a frequency range of Hz to kHz And while this provides great clarity the OnTrac headphones lack the immersiveness most high end models offer these days The OnTrac headphones are pleasant to listen to in terms of overall detail but the stock tuning is void of the depth that a lot of flagship models offer The likes of Sony Bose Sennheiser and Bowers amp Wilkins all provide a deeper richer sound that tends to envelope you even if you aren t listening to spatial audio Killer Mike s Songs For Sinners amp Saints lack the low end thump that the album provides on other headphones like the XM There is nice detail for some genres though like you ll hear with Koe Wetzel s Lives With the OnTrac I could pick up clear texture in the song s drums and guitars while the country singer s vocals cut through the mix Billy Strings recent bluegrass live album also sounds nice on the OnTrac but when you venture to something like Jack White s No Name there s an airy ness that s missing from the overall sound profile Things that would soar on other sets like White s guitar riffs are a bit muted and the overall sonic effect is subdued when it would blanket you with sound on a competing device ANC performance Dyson says the OnTrac s ANC setup uses eight mics to detect unwanted sounds times per second Combined with the passive noise isolation from the ear pads the headphones can block up to dB of distracting sounds That looks pretty good on paper but in the end the OnTrac does only an average job with constant rumbles from fans and white noise machines It struggles mightily with human voices and TV sounds These headphones will be OK in certain situations but the one size fits all approach to noise blocking doesn t silence the world the way Sony Bose and others can Call quality The OnTrac headphones do a solid job of blocking background noise on calls but the overall voice quality falls behind comparable flagship headphones My voice sounded compressed and lacked any energy you d want on a call Dyson may have dedicated eight microphones to ANC but only one is afforded to calls And well you can certainly tell Battery life Billy Steele for Engadget Dyson promises up to hours of listening with ANC on a figure that s only surpassed by Sennheiser s Momentum hours among headphones I ve reviewed What s more that s hours longer than Sony s WH XM which is our current top pick for best wireless headphones I managed hours of use with noise cancellation on at a comfortable percent volume If you need it a quick charge option gives you two and a half hours of ANC enabled playback in minutes or nine and a half hours in minutes The competition At Dyson is competing with the likes of Apple and Master amp Dynamic which both sell premium over ear headphones for more than the OnTrac However only M amp D s MW made our best wireless headphones list mostly due to the company s premium design and natural sound profile Unlike Dyson Master amp Dynamic combines metal and leather finishes in a way that looks like headphones and less like a piece of machinery If you re looking for a better value my advice is to save yourself a lot of money and go for Sony s WH XM For significantly less you ll get excellent sound quality powerful ANC and a host of advanced features that will make your life easier Those include automatic speech detection that will pause your music when you need to have a quick chat and the ability to switch sound settings based on activity or location without having to futz with an app They re more comfortable and are a better travel companion plus you ll get Reality Audio where supported and DSEE Extreme upscaling to reclaim detail in songs that s otherwise lost to compression Wrap up If you re a fan of Dyson s design you might be inclined to spend big on the OnTrac headphones With a less than stellar audio profile and average ANC performance the lack of advanced features means you re settling for a decent set of headphones when better options are available for much less The customizable design is a plus as is the impressive battery life and hearing health feature but you can get the long runtime elsewhere At the end of the day I m not sure the design is enough to make these headphones stand out from the crowd This article originally

Meta s latest round of account takedowns includes a fake political group that ran dozens of dummy accounts in an attempt to recruit Americans to run for office The social network detailed the scheme in its latest report on coordinated inauthentic behavior on its platform According to Meta the fake accounts pages and Facebook groups were trying to prop up a fictitious political group called Patriots Run Project that encouraged people to challenge Republican and Democratic elites by running for office In all Meta uncovered Facebook accounts pages and groups as well as three Instagram accounts The group primarily targeted people in Arizona Michigan Nevada Ohio Pennsylvania Wisconsin and North Carolina and spent in Facebook ads The Institute for Strategic Dialogue a nonprofit that researches disinformation and extremism previously shared details about the Patriots Run Project and their Facebook presence The group they said called for followers to run for office on a pro Trump anti establishment platform focused on many of the same issues that motivate the right wing movement gun rights border security traditional values and combatting election fraud It s not clear exactly who was behind the bizarre campaign Meta said in its report they found links to individuals associated with a US based on platform entity called RT Group but didn t elaborate The company s researchers noted the group was relatively adept at disguising themselves They used fake accounts they acquired from Bangladesh and relied on proxies to make it appear as if they lived in the states they targeted While Meta s researchers said they were able to disrupt the group before it was able to establish a large audience on its platform Politico has reported that the group was successful in recruiting one Montana man to run for Congress though it s unclear if he interacted with the group on Facebook During a briefing with reporters Meta noted that Patriots Run Project was also active on X and that its websites are still online The company s researchers also shared more about what they are tracking ahead of the US presidential election As with other recent elections Russia based groups are likely to target US audiences on Facebook according to David Agranovich Meta s security policy director for threat disruption I think we should expect to see Russian attempts to target election related debates particularly when they touch on support for Ukraine Agranovich said We expect Russia based campaigns to promote supportive commentary about candidates opposing aid to Ukraine and criticize those who advocate for aiding Ukraine s defenses This article originally appeared on Engadget at |
