Neavio’s headphones are the first noise-canceling headphones that can also charge your phone. Now when you forget to charge your device or forget to bring your portable charger your headphones will provide that extra energy boost for your phone. And if you back the project on Kickstarter you can get these cool headphones for $70 off its release price. That’s an unheard of deal for headphones that feature noise-canceling capabilities and a power bank.

The retail price is set to start at $199 but when you pledge the super early bird price of $129, you end up saving $70. You’ll receive a pair of the Neavio Power Bank Headphones in your choice of black, navy, white, or rose gold. The estimated delivery isn’t until October 2019 but it’s available for shipping anywhere in the world. Investing in a good pair of headphones is a smart option, especially if you’re a commuter.

There’s a huge difference between wearing headphones that deliver flawless sound and wearing  just any old pair of headphones. For commuters into an urban center, noise-canceling headphones make the trip a lot less stressful. Over-ear headphones are still a top choice for delivering the best music-listening experience, and the ANC (Adaptive Noise Cancellation) function blocks external noise to offer additional value. Sometimes just wearing noise-canceling headphones, even without listening to music, is calming in itself.

And for those who constantly forget to their charge their devices this offers a great deal of reassurance that you’ll be able to make it through the day without hitting empty. Neavio is able to connect to any smartphone device that is compatible with USB. Simply plug in your cable and the headphone logo will indicate how much battery life is left on the power bank. Best of all, Neavio is equipped with two PCBA boards; one for music and one to operate the power bank, so you can still listen to your music while charging.

As always, though, it’s best to exercise caution when participating in a crowdfunded campaign. Looking for more great stuff? Find more on our best tech deals page and follow us on Twitter.

I let Gemini take care of my houseplants, and they’ve never looked better
Study guide created by Gemini

I am, by every reasonable measure, a serial plant killer. I've lost count of the pothos, the peace lilies, the one very expensive fiddle-leaf fig that judged me silently for a month before giving up entirely. My problem was never a lack of love. It was that I'd either drown them out of guilt or forget they existed for a fortnight, with no middle ground. So when I started leaning on Gemini for the odd everyday question, letting it babysit my plants wasn't some grand plan. It happened almost by accident, and now my flat looks like something a person with their life together would own.

It started the way most of my plant emergencies do, with a leaf going a color it definitely shouldn't. Instead of doom-scrolling through contradictory Google searches like I usually would, I snapped a photo, handed it to Gemini, and asked what was wrong. What I got back was a proper answer, and it was the first of many.

I underestimated this NotebookLM feature until it completely changed how I study
google-adds-data-tables-feature-in-notebooklm

I'll admit it: I ignored NotebookLM's Mind Maps feature for far longer than I should have. I mostly used the app to ask questions about my documents or generate Audio Overviews and Short Video Overviews, while that little Mind Map button sat untouched. I assumed it was more of a nice-to-have than something I'd actually use. Turns out, I was completely wrong.

The Concorde dream is within reach. NASA X-59 just has to silence the supersonic boom
The jet built to kill the sonic boom just reached full speed
Lockheed Martin’s X-59

NASA has already proved that its needle-nosed X-59 can move seriously fast in recent test flights. Now, the next step is to find out whether it can break the sound barrier without announcing its arrival to everyone below. The experimental aircraft recently reached Mach 1.4, or about 924 mph (1,487 kph), at an altitude of 55,000 feet. Those are the target conditions NASA plans to use during future tests of the X-59’s quieter sonic signature, making the flight a major milestone for the agency’s Quesst mission.
