  • Cyber Monday deals include Sony's WH-1000XM5 headphones for an all-time low an hour ago by Matt Tate
    Audio Technology, Technology & Electronics, site|engadget, provider_name|Engadget, region|US, language|en-US, author_name|Matt Tate

    The previous generation of Sony's wireless headphones, the excellent WH-1000XM5, are available for as low as $248 for Cyber Monday. That's nearly equal to the record low the headphones hit on Prime Day, and $152 off their normal $400 price. Sony's flagship noise-canceling headphones are now the WH-1000XM6, but if you're on a budget, you'll still get a fantastic audio experience from the older model, especially at this heavily discounted price. We awarded the WH-1000XM5 a score of 95 in our 2022 review, praising the supremely comfortable redesign, sound quality and powerful ANC. Battery life is also very respectable at 30

    If all you want is a way to talk to ChatGPT, you're practically spoiled for choice - there are countless ways to chat with the bots, and seemingly countless new ones every single day.

Raycast is many things: it's an app launcher, it's a way to search and interact with the files on your computer, it's a note-taking app, and, yes,
