Adhering to the same quality standards that drove the success of its award-winning line, the E4c earphones further optimize the listening experience by utilizing Shure’s new High-Definition driver with Tuned-Port technology to significantly enhance bass response. The E4c’s comfortable sound isolating sleeves contour to the inner-ear, naturally sealing out more background noise than noise-canceling alternatives, and the small, portable, attractive design position them as a must-have accessory for today’s consumers.

Weighing just over an ounce, the E4c makes the perfect accessory for music lovers who are serious about sound quality and detail. Designed to mirror the iconic design of the iPod, the Shure E4c earphone also complements popular devices such as Sony’s NW-HD3 Network Walkman, Toshiba’s Gigabeat MEG F20, Delphi (XM) and XACT (Sirius) portable satellite radio players, and a host of multimedia laptops and portable DVD players.

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).

AI can describe a picture, identify objects, and answer questions about what a camera sees. But when a blind user needs a quick answer, getting an entire spoken essay about the scene isn't exactly helpful.
