pixel: Google releases a new update to fix this problem in Pixel Buds A-Series
Google launched the Pixel Buds A-Series TWS earbuds in June 2021. Later, in December 2021, the tech giant released a firmware update that added some new features to these earbuds. The Bass slider in the Sound menu was one of these newly added features which allowed users to adjust the bass from -1 to +4. Google claimed that this feature offers “twice the bass range you have now” on devices running on Android 6.0 or above. Meanwhile, some users of the Pixel Buds A-Series earbuds have recently reported an issue with the Bass slider. According to a report by 9to5Google, some users noticed that “their desired level would not be applied the next time they use the headphones.” However, some users discovered a temporary solution that “involved moving the Bass slider before returning it to the actual setting.” Now, the company has rolled out a permanent fix for this issue through a new update.

Today’s best deals: Apple Watch SE, gaming laptops, SSDs, and more
It's Wednesday, and that means it's time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a strong discount on the 44 mm version of the Apple Watch SE, which is currently down to $229 at Amazon and Walmart . Further Reading The best smartwatches for every type of user The discount only applies to the variant with Apple's silver case and blue sports band, but if you can live with that—or don't mind swapping in a new band later—this price matches the lowest we've tracked. For reference, this variant has typically gone for about $260 online in recent months, while Apple itself sells the device for $309. If you prefer a smaller case size, the 40 mm Watch SE is also available for $229 , though we've seen that price more commonly for that model. We generally recommend the higher-end Apple Watch Series 7 as the best smartwatch for iPhone users, but the Watch SE remains a compelling alternative for those on a tighter … [Read more...] about Today’s best deals: Apple Watch SE, gaming laptops, SSDs, and more

The best cheap headphones: top budget earbuds and cans in 2022
One of the best cheap headphones are worth considering if you're on a tight budget. Just because they fall in the 'cheap' price range, it doesn't mean that they scrimp on quality. In fact, many budget headphones on the market are surprisingly robust, deliver great audio, and come with extra features like Bluetooth and noise cancellation. In many ways, the best headphones are much like small pieces of art, prioritizing high-end features, beautifully balanced sound, and a stunning design over anything else. The catch is, they also tend to be pricey, ideal only for real connoisseurs who are willing to spend a fortune on audio equipment. For most people, however, budget models work just as well, even if the audio quality might not be audiophile-level. Here at TechRadar, we’ve built a reputation for covering technology of every shape, size and price point.

The next generation of Apple AirPods are expected to come with new and improved audio quality along with the support for the new LE Audio and LC3 Bluetooth codec support. The latest beta firmware for AirPods are claimed to include support for LC3 codec along with the recently announced iOS16 operating system.

Today’s best deals: Google Chromecast, Audible Premium Plus, and more
It's Wednesday, which means it's time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes the Google Chromecast back down to $40 at various retailers. While we've seen this deal a handful of times this year, it's still $10 off Google's MSRP, making it another solid opportunity to save on what we consider the best 4K streaming stick for most people. Compared to competing devices from Amazon and Roku, we still find the Chromecast's interface to do a cleaner job of organizing and proactively recommending content you might want to watch. There are more powerful 4K set-top boxes on the market, but the Chromecast's performance still gets the job done for casual browsing, works with all the major streaming services, and supports both Dolby Atmos and HDR video (via Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HDR10+).
