Audio brand JLab has launched a new pair of budget-friendly, wireless athletic earbuds called the Sport ANC 4. Most importantly, these next-gen earbuds introduce features not seen on other JLab models. 

Chief among them is Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation, which allows the earbuds to listen to the surrounding environment and automatically adjust the strength of noise cancellation. It can block up to 25 dB of outside sound or, if you prefer, can let the world leak through via the ambient 'Be Aware mode.'

The Sport ANC 4 boast swipe and touch controls that allow you to easily perform multiple actions like raising the volume, pausing songs, or changing settings. Tapping on the earbuds lets users cycle through three audio profiles – JLab Signature, Balanced, and Bass Boost for that extra punch. Of course, everything listed here can be done via the official JLab app on a connected device.

Additionally, these support Google’s recently launched Find My Device network, which can let you ping the earbuds and see where they are on a map should you lose them. All you have to do to utilize the network is link the devices to your supporting Android smartphone. We have a guide with step-by-step instructions for how to set up Find My Device so be sure to check it out.

Notable features

The rest of the features on the Sport ANC 4 are what you would expect to see on a pair of athletic earbuds. They have a water resistance rating of IP66, which allows them to survive being inundated with sweat during intense workouts. The rubber hook jutting out from the body ensures a secure attachment around your ear.

Battery life is promised at over 60 hours with the charging case, but do keep in mind that it is without active noise cancellation. If that listening mode is turned on, the maximum battery life drops down to about 40 hours. You'll also find support for Bluetooth Multipoint for using the earbuds across multiple devices, noise-canceling microphones, and Google Fast Pair.

JLab’s Sport ANC 4 are up pre-order at $69.99 in either graphite, teal, cobalt, and pink. All four are set to ship out at the end of July.

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...
