Jaybird's Tarah are $100 wireless earbuds built for sweaty workouts

Jaybird has been a solid option for wireless earbuds for years now, and today the company is debuting yet another model for your workouts. The Tarah Wireless Sport Headphones are built for the gym, complete with an IPX7 rating to ensure you don't run into moisture troubles when things get sweaty. With a design similar to the company's X4 that debuted in August, the Tarah is $30 cheaper at $100. That's also $50 less than the Beats X.

While the X4 does offer two more hours of listening on a charge, the new Tarah will keep the music going for up to six hours. And if you discover your earbuds are dead as you're headed out to the gym, a 10-minute charge will give you an hour of battery life. Jaybird has included fast charge features before, but it's nice to see the handy tool wasn't left off a more affordable model. The company's Speed Cinch cord management system and interchangeable tips are here as well, only this time those tips are "ultra-soft" silicone rather than foam. The Jaybird app is still in play here too, allowing you to tweak EQ levels and create custom settings that can be saved to the earbuds. Last but not least, there's easy access to Siri or Google Assistant, depending on your preference.

The Tarah is available for pre-order now at Jaybird's website before it ships in the US and Canada next month. When it does, you can expect to see it on shelves at retailers as well. The wireless earbuds will come in three colors: Black/Flash, Nimbus Gray/Jade and Solstice Blue/Glacier. If you're smitten with that third hue though, you'll need to purchase from Jaybird or Best Buy as it's exclusive to those two spots. Of course, if true wireless is what you're after, Jaybird's Run offers just that for $180.

Evernote cuts staff as user growth stalls

Image
Note-taking app Evernote has fallen on hard times of late, culminating in its latest spate of job cuts impacting 15 percent of its workforce (54 employees). CEO Chris O' Neil -- an ex-Googler who took the reins in 2015 -- announced the firings at an all-hands meeting earlier today, reports TechCrunch . In a message on the Evernote blog , O' Neill admitted he'd set "incredibly aggressive goals" for the company in 2018. He continued: "Going forward, we are streamlining certain functions, like sales, so we can continue to speed up and scale others, like product development and engineering." The layoffs follow an exec exodus just weeks ago and the company's recent brand refresh (complete with a refined logo and wordmark). But critics are more concerned about its product, especially the free tier, which they claim lacks the perks to...

The best air conditioner

By Liam McCabe This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter . When readers choose to buy Wirecutter's independently chosen editorial picks, it may earn affiliate commissions that support its work. Read the full article here . After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
