Sony resurrects a classic pair of headphones
Six years later, Sony has brought back one of its best-loved pair of over-ear headphones as a refreshed model. The fan-favourite Sony WH1000XM4 headphones have been refreshed as the $300 WH-1000XM4C model with the exact same design and features as the 2020 debut.
However, the Japanese company has added a bunch of 10 new specific EQs as well as its Quick Access feature that lets you fire up your favorite streaming service by tapping the cans rather than digging out your phone. Unfortunately, those changes have meant a battery life reduction from the original 30 hours to 27 with ANC on. There are three colors to choose from and pricing is set at $299.99 / £219 / €250 / AU$449.95.

Leaked video shows iPhone 18 Pro Max colors
The Apple September event is just a couple of days away, but a pair of alleged iPhone 18 Pro Max handsets have already appeared in a hands-on video shared on a Korean technology blog.
In the video, the unreleased phones look to be available in a store and show off the rumored Dark Cherry and Sky Blue color options. Design seems largely unchanged from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to feature a new variable aperture camera, A20 Pro chipset and a slight battery bump.
