Sony's ANC headphones have been around for ten years now and to celebrate, they're bringing you an impressive offering. Meet Sony 1000X ColleXion: a $649 luxury wireless flagship that goes straight after the competition's throne, Apple's!

There have been complaints that the standard WH-1000XM6 is too "plastic-y," so Sony has made the decision to replace that construction with "quiet luxury" materials, and a premium, high-end feel for your travels through airports.

So what are you going to get for all the money?

The Upgrade: A premium stainless steel frame with beautiful leather ear cups.

The Tech: A V3 upgrade, new 40mm carbon fiber driver, and Bluetooth 6.0 (hello LDAC & LC3).

The Vibe: A new, sophisticated, magnetic carrying case with a handle. For the purchase link, click here.

⚠️ The Trade-off: The premium looking headphones are also heavier than the XM6, at 320g vs the XM6's 240g. The heavy processing also reduces the battery life from the standard model by 24 hours down to 24 hours.

Sony is making a statement by migrating from strictly tech specs to becoming a very high-end fashion accessory!

Beginning on July 1, 2026, the price of a Lifetime Plex Pass will increase A RIDICULOUS amount - increasing from $249.99 per Lifetime Plex Pass to the astronomical cost of $749.99.

Plex's assertion about the Lifetime Plex Pass is that they considered eliminating it entirely and moving to a more traditional business model (where you only pay a monthly subscription) to establish a more stable, predictable cash flow.

There are only 6 weeks left to purchase the Lifetime Plex Pass at the current price of $249.99, before the new price of $749.99 occurs (an increase of 200%).

If you are a current Lifetime Plex Pass Holder, you will not be affected by Plex's new pricing scheme - no change will be made to your account. Plex's monthly subscription price ($6.99) and annual subscription price ($69.99) will not be out of place for any amount of time.

Plex states their new pricing reflects the "actual, continuous value" of their software. It will be tough for anyone who does not use their software on a daily basis to purchase a Lifetime Plex Pass for $750 (10 years worth of the annual subscription price).

If you've been uncertain about upgrading or adding on to your current Plex server, now is the time to make a decision!

According to Digitimes, the tech company has officially filed a new advanced high blood-pressure alert to the FDA for approval. The new software upgrade will be released at the same time as the anticipated Apple Watch Ultra 4 and follows the release of basic hypertension alerts with watchOS 26 last fall.

According to Apple insider Mark Gurman, iOS 27 will have new AI personalization features for inclusion of Genmoji. Your phone will automatically generate personalized emojis based on your image library and previous text.

Genmoji was released with iOS 18.2, where users had to write text prompts to generate custom text icons. Using text prompts all the time may become tiring to do on a daily basis. With iOS 27, Apple has taken out the friction of thinking of text prompts, as it will create custom emoji content directly for your keyboard.

iOS 27 will use the following methods for creating custom emoji:

• Contextual AI: Your images and regular words will become the basis for generating custom emojis.
• Hyper-Relevant Vibe: Apple will understand your chat context and generate an appropriate emoji for you.
• Privacy Toggle: If you feel that this is too much, you will have the option to turn off the feature in Settings.

If this work as planned, your group chat will become A LOT more interesting and A LOT more personal!

The latest April EV sales data from China is turning heads across the tech and automotive industries. For the first time in a while, Tesla failed to crack the country's top 10 list of EV brands.

While BYD firmly held the #1 spot with a massive 182,025 sales, and tech giant Xiaomi EV successfully broke into the top 5, Tesla’s sales slid to 25,956 vehicles—a 53% drop compared to March, leaving them just behind Nio at #10.

While Tesla still holds the #5 spot for total sales from January through April, this single-month slump highlights just how aggressively fast domestic Chinese brands are moving. With tech-heavy features, rapid manufacturing cycles, and hyper-competitive pricing, companies like Geely, Changan, and Xiaomi are rapidly winning over consumers.
