The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra brings the new Privacy Display feature, upgrades the main and 5x telephoto cameras with wider apertures and increases the charging speeds to 60W wired and 25W wireless (up from 45W and 15W on the S25 Ultra).
The Pixel Buds 2a uses the design of the excellent Pixel Buds Pro 2 with a few high-end features at a more palatable 109 (129/$129/A$239) price, undercutting rivals in the process. That makes the Buds 2a some of the smallest and most comfortable earbuds on the market, with a disc the size of a Smartie chocolate protruding from your ear canal and no stalk to get in the way of earrings.
The wireless headset features an open-ear design that sits on the ear without sealing the ear canal, aiming to offer long-wear comfort and better awareness of one's surroundings. Realme Buds Clip will feature a lightweight build, with each earbud weighing 5.3g, according to the product page on Realme's global website. It has a Titanium-Fit ear design and will come with a matte-finish surface that is said to resist sweat and oil. They will be available in Titanium Black and Titanium Gold colour options.
For some time now, I -- like many audiophiles -- have looked down upon such earbuds. And although these aren't anywhere near the best earbuds I've experienced, the sound they produced was quite surprising. There was rich, clear bass, clean highs, and (mostly) mellow mids. For me, that's a winning combination out of the box. And, thanks to the EarFun app (and a firmware upgrade) the noise cancellation and connection stability were both much improved.
