Jabra finds the right fit for most ears to go with everything else it delivers. For several years now, Jabra has been consistent in approaching wireless earbuds. The combination of audio performance and reliability has positioned the company in the upper echelon year after year.

That was clearly a major motivation behind the Elite 7 Pro, arguably the current flagship, despite the ongoing presence of the Elite 85t. The Elite 7 Pro also share the distinction with the Elite 7 Active, which are basically identical in every way save for a couple of design changes. To stand out as among Jabra's best, the Elite 7 Pro had to balance out in all the right ways. Jabra Eli

Garmin displays tend to be readable but dim and non-touch. Is a bright touchscreen worth a huge extra cost? Garmin has always catered to serious athletes willing to pay a premium for a proper fitness smartwatch , with plenty of buttons, robust tracking software, and tons of battery life. Each one has its own niche: the Forerunner 945 LTE caters to runners with its full-color maps and LTE, while the rugged Garmin Fenix 6 has 10 ATM and upgraded GPS for hikers. Then you have last year's Garmin Venu 2 , which defied categorization a bit. Its gorgeous AMOLED display and stainless steel bezel, 11-day battery life, and music storage made it a true pleasure to use. But in the end, it was a $400 plastic watch, competing with lifestyle watches in price without essentials like cellular calling or voice assistant access. Enter the Garmin Venu 2 Plus, which gives you those cellular perks, plus some new features like animated on-screen HIIT workouts. A proper Garmin lifestyle watch,

The inclusion of 4K support makes the new Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K a brilliant option for all your streaming needs – although a lack of equity across different platforms means that Amazon hasn’t quite achieved perfection yet.

The $249.99 Echo Show 15 is Amazon’s newest, and largest, Echo Show to date. And unlike its previous iterations, this 15.6-inch giant of an Alexa smart display was designed to hang on the wall rather than sit on a counter or nightstand. As a digital hub for the whole family, the Echo Show 15 impresses with a larger screen to help you effortlessly find information of all sorts — from news to weather to calendar alerts. With the largest screen yet, it has space to sprawl out and acts as a great display for taking in content. After spending quality time with this new gadget hanging in our kitchen area, we believe this is one Show you won’t want to miss. Here’s why The who, what and how Who this is for: The Echo Show 15 is for anyone looking for a bigger, Alexa-enabled screen to better navigate calendars, notes or reminders, control a smart home or stream content. What you need to know: The Show 15 offers the largest and sharpest display of any Alexa smart

Put some patina in your step. If you've ever considered putting a skin on your phone, you've undoubtedly heard of Dbrand. The company has been around for a full decade now, offering up precision-cut vinyl skins with plenty of attitude. Coinciding with that 10-year anniversary, Dbrand has launched a limited-time drop of leather skins for most of the best Android phones around, like the Google Pixel 6 and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 . Dbrand sent me a pack of skins for the Galaxy S21, Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, Galaxy Z Fold 3, and Galaxy Z Flip 3 in each of the three available colors, tan, brown, and black. These phone skins are made from real leather and will make your phone smell as wonderful as you'd expect. They'll also patina properly since they're real leather, an effect that takes more time than I have for this review period but can be spurred on more quickly by using Dbrand's leather oils. You apply them just as you would expect — that means peeling
