Wired headphones are becoming a relic of the past. Wireless alternatives are overtaking the need for wired options thanks to significant improvements in battery life, audio quality, and more. Additionally these options are much easier for customers to wear since cords are no longer getting in the way.

With its release of BassFit Wireless Headphones, V-MODA is taking a different approach than many other companies that have begun shipping shameless copies of Apple AirPods. Instead of focusing on truly wireless earbuds, V-MODA’s BassFit Wireless Headphones focus heavily on durability and performance for “the most rigorous of workouts.”

Walmart-owned Jet has teamed up with Blue Apron to sell meal kits to Jet shoppers. In order to keep food options unique, Jet will offer a rotating selection of two-serving recipes. Prior to the new partnership, Blue Apron sold directly to consumers, outside of beginning to offer its meals at some Costco locations earlier this year.

Sam’s Club announced earlier today that it will soon offer grocery delivery at over half of its stores. In its press release, the company touted that the timing of its rollout will be great for consumers this holiday season. While this is clearly a significant undertaking, the company said that it will be able to pull all of this off by the end of October. This is largely due to the fact that it has partnered with Instacart to carry out customer deliveries.

Not too long ago the popularity of over- and on-ear headphones began to significantly increase. More and more people began taking notice of the more immersive audio experience that these designs offer. One could argue that Beats’ headphones significantly contributed to this by bringing stylish options to market that consumers have enjoyed showing off. With a plethora of offerings on the market, it can be hard for brands to make a convincing argument why their new pair of headphones is better than the rest. That doesn’t appear to faze Microsoft though, as the company announced a pair of Surface-branded headphones last week and provided a release date for the headset earlier today.

With wireless headphones and earbuds becoming increasingly popular, it can be easy to forget just how much better audio can sound when you have high-end equipment. While many consumers can’t tell the difference between high-end gear and some average solutions like Apple’s AirPods or RHA’s soon-to-be released TrueConnect earbuds, there are quite a few folks out there that know exactly what they are giving up. With the release of Elegia by Focal, it’s clear that there are companies working to make gear that provides better experiences for those of us that may that deem the tradeoff of some conveniences worthwhile.

While you may not have heard of a keytar before, there is a good chance that you may have seen them in use before. In fact, if you’ve played Rock Band 3 back in the day, you may have jammed using the game’s Wireless Keyboard which is in fact the same kind of instrument. With instruments like the Yamaha SHS-10 having been around since the 1980s, keytars have been used for quite some time but have been called various names like ‘shoulder’ or ‘strap-on’ keyboards. Then there was a shift to adopt the keytar name a few years back when Alesis released its Vortex controller. With the unveiling of AX-Edge Keytar, Roland shows off its beautiful, high-end 49-key guitar/keyboard hybrid.

Considering that the list of smart home accessories keeps growing larger and larger, there always seem to be shiny, new options vying for our attention. Just last week we reported that Philips, a company probably best-known in the smart home world for its Hue light bulbs, has a hybrid switch in the works set to replace or join its current offerings. With options from Lutron, Wemo and others, there are certainly lots of switch products to consider, but with today’s release of Brilliant Control, things just got even more competitive.

Of all the options out there, Brilliant Control seems like it may have the chops to take the crown as being the most daring and innovative. Coming in with four models, Brilliant Control sports a built-in display, camera, controls for at least one light, and the promise that it ‘works with all smart home products’.
