The world of noise-cancelling earbuds is crowded. You have thousands of options to choose from if you like earbuds and want to tune out any noise that's happening around you. Instead of grabbing a sub-par pair that might be disappointing, go with a brand that's well known for exceptional sound quality. Of course, this usually comes with a steep(er) price tag, but thanks to today's deal at Amazon, you're in for a nice discount.

As of Jan. 7, the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 wireless earbuds are on sale for $319 at Amazon, down from the usual price of $399. That's a 20% discount that'll save you $80. This is also the first price drop we've spotted on the Pi8 earbuds at Amazon.

Bowers & Wilkins, well known for making hi-fi speakers, aims to impress with their wireless earbuds. The flagship Pi8 in-ear Bluetooth earphones are the latest, upgraded option from the previous Pi7. Comparatively, Bowers & Wilkins mentions the Pi8 perform better in terms of battery life and sound quality, with the addition of Carbon Cone drive units, which reduces distortion and aims to capture more nuanced sound.

While using premium materials, Bowers & Wilkins also focused on a comfortable fit for all-day wear with the Pi8 earbuds. Each pair comes with four ear tip sizes so you can find the best fit.

In 2021, Mashable Senior Editor Stan Schroeder reviewed the Bowers & Wilkins Pi7, the Pi8s predecessor and left feeling impressed, overall. "I've had a few days with the Pi7, and they're the best sounding earbuds I've tried, with a decent sound stage, and deep, convincing bass," he wrote.

Schroeder also mentioned the noise cancellation ability so was impressive, it was almost too good. "The noise cancellation works almost too good —when it was on, and the music was playing, I was unable to hear anything from the outside world," explains Schroeder. "This has a downside: I couldn't hear my daughter speaking even when I turned on the ambient pass-through feature, which uses the microphones on the earbuds to deliver outside sounds."

This means the Pi8 are likely great for those who are looking for top-of-the-line, super efficient noise-cancellation.

If you're a fan of the impressive Bowers & Wilkins speakers or are interested in a premium pair of earbuds, the specs on the Pi8 earbuds are seriously worth considering. Since this is the first price drop we've ever seen on these earbuds, today's deal at Amazon means this is a great time to scoop up the pair while saving $80.

Q-Symphony is one of the big selling points here. When you pair this system with a Q-Symphony TV from Samsung, the system will coordinate all speakers to work together to create a multidimensional soundscape. That's a pretty impressive community of speakers.

The Samsung soundbar itself has 16 speakers within it, including 11 front facing speakers, 1 woofer, and 4 Dolby Atmos capable up-firing speakers. When you pair that with the included rear speakers, and woofer — and potentially connect a Q-Symphony TV — you could be hitting well over twenty speakers.

With so many speakers, the system needs to map where sounds are coming from. Thankfully, Samsung has this handled. In Game Mode Pro, the system automatically builds a 3D sonic world. Feel rivals creeping around corners by the sound of their footsteps.

Right now, the Samsung HW-Q990D Q-Series Soundbar and Rear Speakers is on sale for $997.99, for a savings of 50%, or $1000.

Heart Eyes trailer teases a Valentines Day-themed serial killer

Mashable - Tue, 01/07/2025 - 10:06

Valentine's Day gets ultra-violent in Heart Eyes, an upcoming slasher film from director Josh Ruben (Werewolves Within) and the producers of Scream.

Heart Eyes stars Olivia Holt (Totally Killer) and Mason Gooding (Scream) as a couple whose Valentine's Day plans are interrupted by the notorious Heart Eyes Killer. The killer resurfaces every Feb. 14 to kill unsuspecting lovebirds, all while rocking a spooky mask with heart-shaped eyeholes and some gnarly heart-tipped arrows. Fittingly, the trailer describes the Heart Eyes Killer as "Cupid, with a kink."

With this love-hating murderer on the loose, no couple is safe. But could Holt and Gooding have what it takes to bring the Heart Eyes Killer to justice?

Heart Eyes hits theaters Feb. 7.

Meta’s move effectively puts an end to its longstanding fact-checking program.
