Razer’s new Hammerhead Duo aims for crisp audio for $60

Razer is growing its Hammerhead lineup with a new set of dual-driver earbuds.

Razer already has a robust lineup of Hammerhead earbuds among its other audio offerings, but its latest aims to bring an even clearer audio experience to all of your devices with a 3.5mm headphone jack. Called the Hammerhead Duo, the new buds are named after the dual-driver tech that Razer claims have been tuned to work in harmony to provide a crisp, balanced sound.

”Compared to single driver headphones, dual drivers allow for more effective sound separation and produce clearer and louder audio that is free from distortion,” Razer said in a press release. The result, the company claims, should be a ”more precise audio experience” whether you’re streaming a show on Netflix or blasting some beats while working out.

As for the build quality, the Hammerhead Duo buds are made up of aluminum frames with braided cables. Razer is throwing three silicon tip sizes in the box so you can dial in the right size for …

iPhone XS vs iPhone XS Max: Which is the perfect match for you?

Here at iMore, we always spend a lot of time with Apple’s latest products, including its most recent iPhones, to be able to tell you which is the best.

iPhone XS

Apple’s best

$999 at Apple

Pros

Large screen in a compact body
Lighter than iPhone XS Max
Fits better in your pocket
Just as powerful as iPhone XS Max
Cons

Shorter battery life than iPhone XS Max
The iPhone XS offers a 5.8-inch OLED display on a device about the size of the 4.7-inch iPhone 8. Beside the iPhone XS Max, you can feel the size difference, not just in length and width, but also weight. The iPhone XS is noticeably lighter than its larger counterpart, and combined with its smaller size, it’ll fit better in your pocket. Just as powerful as the iPhone XS Max, it unfortunately does not measure up to Apple’s largest phone in one key area: battery life.

iPhone XS Max

The best, but bigger

Biggest iPhone screen
Better one-handed usage than previous large iPhones

What’s the difference between a cellular and GPS-only Apple Watch?

You may not completely understand the differences between GPS only and GPS + Cellular Apple Watches, but we do. It’s more than just a red Digital Crown.

Tethered

Apple Watch GPS

From $279 at Apple

Pros

Less expensive
Store music onboard
Lightest weight of all models
Longer battery life
Cons

Must keep iPhone nearby
Only comes in aluminum
The Apple Watch GPS (Wi-Fi only) model is the least expensive and lightest weight of all models in the line. With 8 – 16GB of storage, you get a longer battery life, but that’s because it doesn’t have a cellular chip. It requires an iPhone for daily use.

Free bird

Apple Watch GPS + Cellular

From $379 at Apple

Pros

Apple Music streaming support
Aluminum and Stainless Steel models
Leave your iPhone at home
All models come with 16GB of storage

Facebook Messenger getting a desktop app, end-to-end encryption, and more

Facebook’s also creating a new version of the mobile app that’s smaller/faster.

Facebook Messenger is one of the most popular messaging platforms in the world, and in a now-removed blog post published ahead of its annual F8 developer conference, Facebook announced a heap of new features and changes coming to the platform later this year.

First on the list, Facebook is creating another version of the Messenger mobile app. Referred to as ”Project LightSpeed”, the app will be able to launch in under two seconds and weigh in at just 30MB. Unlike Messenger Lite that’s designed for low-end hardware and omits some of Messenger’s more high-end features, Project LightSpeed will offer the full Messenger experience but be based on ”an entirely new code base.” It’s unclear when the app will be ready, however, as Facebook simply notes that it’ll ”take time to roll out.”

That’s not the only new Messenger app Facebook’s working on, however. Also announced by the company is a Messenger desktop …
