Ditch the Cords with Shure’s New Noise-Isolating Wireless Earbuds

Wireless headphones are the latest must-have accessory in the world of sound. AirPods, Apple’s wireless earbuds, have polarized users since their introduction last year. However, they have also inspired competition on the wireless headphone market, and Shure is the latest brand to get in on the game.

Shure is well-known for its top-notch audio technology — microphones and mixers, as well as sound, conference, and monitoring systems — but the Illinois-based company recently introduced two pairs of Bluetooth headphones: the Wireless SE112 and the Wireless SE215, cordless versions of Shure’s highly regarded series of SE Sound Isolating Earphones.

Both the the SE112 and SE215 boast sound isolation that blocks up to 37 decibels of outside noise, eight hours of battery life, a built-in mic for phone conversations, and 30 feet of Bluetooth range that let’s you roam pretty far from the phone, laptop, or tablet playing your tunes. Both the SE112 and SE215 include three-button remotes, storage pouches, and USB charging cables.

So what’s the difference between the two? Not much. When it comes to tech, “the SE215 offers a deeper, richer soundstage with slightly improved bass response,” says our brother site, Digital Trends. The SE215 (which comes with a $149 price tag) is available in four colors: clear, translucent black, translucent blue, and white. The more economical SE112 ($99) keeps it classy in black.

If you’ve already got some high-quality Shure headphones and want to ditch the cords, don’t worry, you’re covered. Shure also released a detachable Bluetooth Remote and Mic Accessory Cable ($99) that can “turn select wired Shure earphones into Bluetooth-ready wireless buds,” according to Digital Trends. You can snag the SE215, the SE112, and the Accessory Cable via several online retailers.

If you’re an exceptionally active person or regularly listen to music while working out, you may want to take a look at the Jaybird Run wireless headphones too. These bad boys were specifically designed for runners and are truly wireless, meaning they have no cord connecting the two ear buds.

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.

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.
