Sleek Audio SA1 Earphones Offer Wireless and Tuning Options

Add as a preferred source on Google

Sleek Audio has just introduced its new SA1 Tunable and Wireless Compatible Earphones, which can be used either as standard wired headphones or wirelessly via Sleek Audio’s Kleer system…and expand on the tuning options available in the company’s SA6 headphones by offering two treble port options that can be screwed into the earphones in front of the 6mm driver to customize the sound output to individual taste. The earphones also sport a rosewood body and a variety of sizing flanges for a comfortable fit.

“Our number one priority is developing amazing sounding earphones that offer more to music lovers in terms of performance, style, and comfort,” said Sleek Audio COO Jason Krywko, in a statement. “The SA1 does just that, and was developed specifically to allow more people to enjoy our award winning products than ever before.”

The SA1s feature a 6mm driver that the company claims delivers substantial bass response, but the headphones also come with two screw-in treble port options that can further tune the sound of the headphones to a user’s individual preferences. If someone, say, primarily listens to audiobooks, they might need a very different headphone than a someone who wants to (figuratively) rattle nearby windows with deep house bass.

The SA1s also feature detachable cables (so cables can be replaces without buying new headphones: custom color cables will be available in 2010). Users can also pair the SA1 earphones with Sleek Audio’s Kleer wireless system for cord-free use.

The SA1s are available now at a suggested price of $79.99.

OpenAI is investigating more incidents of AI agents going rogue days after hack
OpenAI logo on Microsoft surface

It appears that the "AI agents going rogue" tale has more to it than what AI giants have revealed publicly so far. Merely days after OpenAI announced that its AI agents went rogue and hacked Hugging Face, Anthropic dropped a similar bombshell. Soon, it was discovered that not just one, but multiple services were compromised. Well, it seems there are even more layers to it.

Reuters reports that OpenAI has found more incidents of AI agents escaping their software containment environment during research. Citing sources with knowledge of the incident, the outlet notes that the AI agents didn't go beyond OpenAI's software environment and affect any external service.

Logo, Symbol, Disk

Google AI Studio was on track to make its way to Android and iPhone, giving developers and AI enthusiasts a dedicated place to build prompts and experiment with Google's latest models from their phones.

That's no longer happening. In a post shared by the official Google AI Studio account on X, Google confirmed that it's canceling the standalone AI Studio mobile app before launch. The announcement comes despite the company saying nearly 800,000 people had already pre-ordered the app across iOS and Android.

Google Earth’s AI misadventure lasted only a day. It was a tale of dangerous ignorance.
Nuclear reactors, tanks, and historical destruction on a life-like satellite map? Yeah, that's bad.

Technology behemoths are clearly not reading the room, or they are just moving faster than they should when it comes to AI deployment. Google has already stuffed its Gemini AI in every corner of its software stack, from Android to daily productivity tools like Gmail that are used by hundreds of millions of users every day. AI is everywhere. Not all of it is bad, mind you. But in a few places, it just feels forced.

In its latest AI-fication experiment, the company targeted Google Earth. The idea was to let the audience use its Nano Banana 2 AI image generator and make images that can be placed on the map view. On paper, it's a cool idea. What would the Colosseum of Rome look like in your urban neighborhood? Yeah, fun stuff like that.
