Bose is willing to create an entirely new style if existing wireless earbuds are not working for you. These wireless Sport Open Earbuds won't fit in your ear canal. They are placed over your ear canal which allows you to hear the audio and still be able to hear the sounds around you.



Although the design is awkward, Bose claims that they remain in place in any weather. They also boast clear, loud audio that you can hear without having to blast it out to everyone. I'll need to hear reviews from experts in the field before I can fully believe in the product. However, it's worth considering a headset that is more comfortable.

Tile's next-gen tracker might make use of ultra-wideband technology



AR might be used to identify it. While we wait for dedicated tracker tags from Apple or Samsung, Tile is working to stay competitive. TechCrunch reports that the company is developing a tracker that uses ultra-wideband (UWB), instead of Bluetooth to help you locate lost objects. UWB has many advantages over Bluetooth. Its high-frequency waves transmit direction and spatial data which makes it more precise in locating tags and devices. UWB functionality is already present in the latest iPhones as well as the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (and Galaxy Z Fold 2) models. Continue reading.



Verizon suspends 3G Shutdown Plans indefinitely



It will continue to operate the network alongside its 5G, 4G, and 5G networks. Verizon (owner of Engadget's parent company, Verizon Media) isn't shutting down its 3G network anytime soon. Kevin King, the carrier's spokesperson, told Light Reading that Verizon's "3G network is operational" and that the company isn't planning to shut it down. He added that Verizon will help customers transition to the latest technology and will "work with them."



Verizon has stopped activating 3G phones in 2018, since "virtually all traffic on [its] network is on its 4G LTE network," it said at the time.
