Beats Studio 3

The Beats Studio 3 have been one of the most popular over-the-ear wireless headphones since their debut in 2017, and with good reason. With superb comfort, sound quality, battery life, and excellent active noise cancellation (ANC), they’re a great choice for music fans who want the head-hugging experience of a set of full-size headphones. Right now, the Beats Studio 3 are just $200 at Best Buy for Black Friday — $150 off their regular price — making this one of the best times of the year to pick them up.

If you’re an iPhone user, you’ll appreciate the easy access to Siri, and super-simple Bluetooth pairing offered by Apple’s custom W1 chip. Simply unlock your iPhone, turn on the Studio 3 and place them near your phone. That’s it. With 22 hours of battery life, these wireless headphones will last all day with room to spare, and can easily get you through even the longest of flights. Should the battery ever die, a 10-minute quick-charge is enough to get you three more hours of life.

Beats Solo 3

Another great deal this Black Friday is Best Buy’s price on the Beats Solo 3, which are 50% off at just $150. Beats fans know that scoring these wireless headphones at half-price is a rare event, so if you’ve had your eye on these great on-ear Bluetooth headphones, now’s the time to pull the trigger. Available in a wide range of ultra-cool color combos, the Solo 3 deliver the kind of sound quality you’d expect from full-size headphones, but in a much smaller package that folds up easily for travel or storage.

The Solo 3 have an exceptional 40-hour battery life, which means you’ll be able to go several days without recharging if you choose. If it does happen to die, just five minutes of quick-charging will give you three hours of playback time. If you can’t even spare those five minutes, the included audio cable with inline microphone means you’ll always be able to keep the tunes going.

Just like the Studio 3, the Solo3 come with Apple’s W1 chip for fast and easy pairing, and you’ll also get a soft-shell carry-case in the box to help keep them looking their best.

Spotify’s new conversational AI can play tracks you request and answer your music questions
A ChatGPT-like AI feature is coming to Spotify for music requests and listening-history questions

Spotify is rolling out a new AI-powered conversational feature that lets Premium users talk directly to the app about what they want to hear. Users can type or speak a request and refine the results through follow-up questions instead of manually searching for a song, podcast, or audiobook.

The feature is available from Spotify’s Home and Now Playing screens and works much like a personal audio assistant. It can choose what plays, answer questions about the current track or album, recommend something new, and look through your listening history to provide more personalized responses.

Your dead TV may be far less broken than it looks
A technician claims a minor backlight fault can trigger a complete shutdown, leaving owners with little indication that the television could still be repaired
Computer Hardware, Electronics, Hardware

A black screen usually feels like a verdict. At that point, replacing the television can seem more sensible than paying someone to investigate what went wrong.

However, a demonstration suggests that the underlying problem in some sets could be surprisingly small. UK repair technician Allen Fleckney, who runs the YouTube channel TV Repair Community, claims one faulty light in an LCD backlight can leave the entire screen unusable.
