MTV may have lost its reputation for actually playing music videos a decade ago, but the art form has recently found a new home on the Web. PluggedIn, a site backed by major record labels, officially launched on Wednesday, providing over 10,000 music videos in high quality for free.

The site uses its own media player to support streaming HD-quality video, along with DVD-style navigation and links to artist profiles, of which there are currently over one million. Some of the first major artists to offer videos include Radiohead, Green Day, Coldplay, Gorillaz, and Chemical Brothers.

“Today we’re announcing a major step forward in the way that fans can connect with the high quality content and artists that matter most to them,” said Jeff Somers, CEO of PluggedIn, in a statement. “We’re focused on building a unique experience for fans – a place where they can meet and interact with each other, and where they can enjoy, discover and share premium quality video content."

Some capital for the site comes from Overbrook Entertainment, an entertainment and artist management company started by Will Smith. PluggedIn currently has partnerships with both EMI, the world’s largest independent music label, and Sony BMG, along with many smaller labels.

Meta has been cooking something up, and today, it finally put it on the table. On July 7, 2026, Meta Superintelligence Labs launched Muse Image and Muse Video (in preview), its first in-house media generation models.

The rollout comes with a few features that are genuinely hard to argue with.

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.
