Today, we've got a little bit of everything for you: super spendy headphones, dirt cheap webcams, and a phone that doesn't exist yet (and that we hope never does!) Check it out: |

Focal audio isn't exactly the most well-known audio brand, but the company's new Celestee headphones might just change that. They are very much an aspirational, high-end set of headphones, but relative to other high-end headphones -- many of which are priced at $2,000 or more -- the Focal Celestee are more attainable, coming in at around $1,000.
But are they worth it? We took them for a spin, and after putting them through their paces, we're impressed. These things punch way above their weight class -- even at 1,000 bucks. Here's what makes them so special: |

Despite its reputation for creative excellence, Apple has had some notable design blunders in the past, from the butterfly keyboard to the upside-down-charging Magic Mouse. But a recently granted Apple patent might top the lot: a cheese grater iPhone.

I picked five of the most popular options, with the explicit purpose of seeing if any of these cheap webcams are worth your time and money. None may be as good as the more expensive webcams from brands like Logitech, but not everyone wants to spend $100 on a webcam.
Here's three that weren't terrible, followed by two that I would avoid. |

TIPS, TRICKS, & TECHNIQUES |
Charging your phone was once as simple as plugging it into the supplied charging block, then into the wall socket, and waiting until it was finished. Not any more. Whether it's varying charging speeds, wireless charging, proprietary charging systems, or no charger being included with the phone at all, it has become considerably more complicated, especially if you want to get the fastest speeds. I've already written about this problem, so now it's time to advise on how to choose the best charger for your phone today. Sounds like it should be simple, but it's definitely not. |
