Check out our review of the Klipsch Status headphones.

Klipsch unveiled a posh new set of over-ear headphones today called the Status. Matching executive styling with blue collar durability, the Status are forged from high-strength Grilamid TR (read: crazy, super-strong polymer)  for a“virtually indestructible” frame that also folds down to provide a convenient, travel-ready hi-fi solution.

Notable features for the Status include highly-tuned 40mm dynamic drivers, leather cloaked memory foam ear pads, dual detachable cloth cables (including one with a three-button inline iOS microphone), and an included carrying case. And of course, you also get the acclaimed Klipsch sound signature thrown in free of charge.

The headphones come in a high gloss finish in either black or white, and if these things sound as good as they look, we think Klipsch may have a winner on its hands — we’ll let you know as soon as we get a hold of a pair.

Klipsch’s new Status headphones are priced at $250, and are available today.

The most innovative TV tech of 2023
LG MLA OLED technology is the most innovative TV technology of 2023.

While 2023 was more evolution than revolution for TVs, a few standout innovations this year set the stage for big competition among TVs in 2024.

In 2022, Samsung Display's QD-OLED display technology made headlines as the most innovative display technology since OLED was introduced to consumer TVs by LG some 10 years prior. In a remarkably timely effort to clap back at Samsung, LG Display unleashed the most meaningful update to its OLED display technology in 10 years, and this year, that tech earns our top award for the most innovative TV tech of 2023.

Why you should buy the 65-inch LG C3 Series OLED 4K TV
Take a look at our roundup of the best OLED TVs, and you'll see the LG C3 Series OLED 4K TV as our top pick. You'll enjoy amazing picture quality and impressive peak brightness levels on its 65-inch screen, and when it comes to HDR and SDR performance, its color and contrast capabilities are downright fantastic. This is possible because each pixel in an OLED TV is a self-contained organic light-emitting diode, eliminating the need for a backlight and enabling one of the biggest differences between OLED and QLED TVs -- the LG C3 Series OLED 4K TV can achieve perfect black levels. OLED TVs also offer superior response time, wider viewing angles, less power consumption, and better eye comfort.

The Bose Headphones 700 are amazing noise-canceling headphones that you can currently buy with a $100 discount from Best Buy. Instead of $379, you'll only have to pay $279 for them -- but not for long. The offer is close to expiring, and once it's gone, we're not sure if and when you'll get another chance at it. If you're looking for headphone deals, this is among the best ones in the market right now, but you need to hurry because there's not much time left.

Why you should buy the Bose Headphones 700
Bose pioneered the development of active noise cancellation technology, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the ANC in the Bose Headphones 700 is downright amazing. These noise-canceling headphones utilize microphones both inside and outside the earcups to monitor and block the sound from your surroundings. You have 11 levels of ANC to choose from, ranging from full noise cancelling to prevent all distractions to full transparency so that you can hear what's going on around you without having to take the wireless headphones off. With one click, you can activate Conversation Mode, which pauses your music and enables transparency so you can talk to people.
