While the Xbox 360 is a gaming platform first and foremost, it may be gaining momentum as a platform for content distribution as well. Microsoft and Fox announced on Thursday that the latest show to offer downloads through Xbox Live will be Fox’s animated comedy, Family Guy.

The overlap between Family Guy’s audience and Xbox 360 gamers is significant. In 2006, Family Guy was the #1 primetime series for men between 18 and 34 years old, which also happens to be Xbox Live’s core demographic. “Family Guy is a perfect match for Xbox LIVE," said Jaimie McCabe, executive vice president of Fox’s video-on-demand division, in a statement. "The Xbox LIVE community will love having the Griffin family on this platform."

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

Better sound, smarter design

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back

No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.

Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
