Giveaway: Win one of five Phiaton PS 210 BTNC Bluetooth in-ear headphones

Add as a preferred source on Google

The Phiaton PS210 were a pretty great set of in-ear headphones to begin with, but Phiaton wasn’t content to leave them alone. In the last two years, the company’s “half in-ear” headphones have undergone some refinements and seen some new technologies folded in along the way. The company brought in  noise cancelling technology and the PS20 NC were born. Then, Phiaton created the PS 20 BT, one of the first headphones to incorporate Bluetooth 3.0. Now, Phiaton is ready to unleash its holy grail of in-ear headphones, the PS 210 BTNC.

If you’re following the naming convention, then you’ve probably already figured out that the PS 210 BTNC are a combination of the Phiaton’s PS210 in-ear headphones blended with the noise-cancelling properties of the PS 20 NC and the Bluetooth wireless capabilities of the PS 20 BT. Add to that formula an attractive new design for the electronics, a neck strap, supplementary audio cable (in case you don’t feel like going wireless) and a soft carrying pouch loaded with four different sizes of eartips, and you’ve got what appears to be a slam-dunk design for commuters, travelers and just about anyone else.

We’ve had a chance to check out a sample of the PS 210 BTNC and, while we’re holding on to the good stuff for our official review, we can say that Phiaton has not disappointed us with its latest offering. This new set of in-ears manages to include everything we’ve liked about previous models and nothing we didn’t.

The headphones are due in stores on June 29, but dig this: We’re giving five pair of these headphones away. All you have to do is leave a comment to this post telling us what kind of noise you’d like to shut out with your new PS 210 BTNC. We’ll select five lucky winners and announce them on June 30. One of those winners will be dubbed the grand prize winner and will also receive a $210 Amazon.com gift card!

Get commenting, people! We can’t wait to see what you come up with. Good luck!

Forget smartwatches; this smart bed could soon help keep you safe from being a fall risk
Who needs another wearable when your mattress could help spot fall risks?
Bed

Soon, a mattress protector may be more than a bed cover. Australian medtech company Sleeptite and researchers at RMIT University have received a US patent for FlexiSense, a smart bedding technology that tracks body position and posture to help caregivers identify when older residents may be at risk of falling.

The technology is being developed for Sleeptite’s in-bed monitoring system, REMi, and was recently on display at The MedTech Conference in Boston. A peer-reviewed study in Flexible and Printed Electronics says the sensors can also be made at scale without sacrificing performance or durability.

Anthropic’s sensitive internal data was exposed, and AI helped make it happen
Even the company behind Claude isn't immune to AI-powered security threats, as researchers discovered some worrying vulnerabilities.

AI companies spend enormous amounts of time convincing us their technology is safe and secure. But what happens when those same companies become targets of increasingly sophisticated AI-powered attacks? Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is now facing that question. According to a Washington Post report, cybersecurity startup Cathedral discovered vulnerabilities that let its researchers access sensitive information in Anthropic's internal systems.

The researchers used AI agents to identify potential entry points in less than 12 hours. Interestingly, they didn't need to crack Claude itself. Instead, they exploited weaknesses in third-party business applications that Anthropic uses for everyday operations. Anthropic's security testing program disclosed the findings, which allows outside researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities.

A new startup wants to fix the military’s working-dog shortage with cloning and gene editing
Promising pitch, plenty of unanswered questions about the dogs.

Military working dogs charge into places the rest of us would flee. So, I understand why anyone would want to breed tougher, healthier dogs for the job.

Warhound, a new startup from Colossal Biosciences co-founder Ben Lamm and Anduril co-founder Palmer Luckey, has stepped out of stealth with $200 million to clone and gene-edit working dogs for American troops, police departments, and emergency services (via TechCrunch).
