We’ve all been there. You’re in the plane, bus or subway and somebody near you is listening to music loud. It’s so loud that you can hear each word and every beat of that Taylor Swift song that you don’t want to hear. Now if only everybody had Coloud Boom Headphones. We wouldn’t have to worry about getting annoyed at accidentally hearing that lame playlist somebody programmed on to his or her mp3 player.

The Coloud Boom headphones are made with closed construction, so your music stays where it matters — next to you ear. It doesn’t leak out to the person next to you. On top of that these headphones are made with a super sturdy frame, so they can get thrown around in your bag or dropped on the floor without breaking into a gazillion pieces. They’re also made with a flat cable, so you don’t have to waste time untangling it. Best, of all, these headphones aren’t heavy, so it doesn’t feel like you have a helmet on your head when you wear them.

The Manual's Must-Haves Cigars
The first sampler you can pick up is the Olivia. These folks are a pretty big staple of the cigar world and have been making cigars since the 1800s. The 10-cigar sampler usually goes for $97 and includes a nice selection from Connecticut Reserve Toro to Serie O Maduro Robusto. Another bundle from an old-school Cigar maker is the La Aurora pack, which comes with a lot of classic flavors like La Aurora Preferidos 1903 and La Aurora 115 Anniversario. The 10-pack usually goes for $105, so it's pretty high-end, but this deal knocks it down to $20, so it's perfect if you've been wanting to try it out.

Netflix is planning to continue investing in gaming, including new co-op games

The company has had games on its service since 2023.

Even as Netflix is raising prices on consumers, the company has also announced that it will be introducing couch co-op and party games for subscribers. The company has offered cloud gaming as a "beta" to a subset of its subscribers since 2023, and the move into co-op games suggests that the streamer will continue to invest in this area.

Co-CEO Greg Peters made the announcement as part of the company's Q4 earnings report, but he didn't detail what games might be available through this new platform. “We think of this as a successor to family board game night or an evolution of what the game show on TV used to be," he explained.

The best adventure movies: The films that keep you on the edge of your seat

These adventure movies will take you to new parts of the world

Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark

The idea of an adventure movie is pretty specialized. These are movies that exist broadly within the world of action cinema, but they are just one small corner of that world. These movies typically involve exotic locations, traps, and tunnels. Sometimes, they're set in the jungle or the desert, and sometimes they're set on the high seas.

Personally, I'm partial to sea-faring movies, maybe in part because I have no desire to live my life on the water. In my own life, these movies have often represented a chance to understand the world, and to appreciate its vastness, splendor, and danger.
