ModelSWireless1

Geneva has introduced the Model S’s successor, which gains not only re-engineered innards but also makes an important gain by losing something.

The Model S Wireless aims to provide the same superlative sound as the original from a much broader range of devices.

Scuderia Ferrari P200 headphones review

scuderia ferrari p200

Retro details like chrome-covered earcup sliders mix with modern carbon fiber texture on the earcups themselves for a look that’s unmistakably Ferrari, though they are designed to look more like the pit crew’s headphones than a race car. Featuring 50mm drivers, the Scuderia Ferrari P200 headphones deliver sound that’s just as big as they look, but boldness often sacrifices nuance.

You may be shocked to learn that there are still breakthroughs to be made in backpack design; that people are still working on ways to arrange pockets, and not just make them look like whatever cartoon their company has licensed.

Epson XP-850 Small-in-One Printer review

Epson XP-850 photo printer

The Epson Expression XP-850 Small-in-One Printer does make some concessions in order to accommodate the needs of as many users as possible. If you’re doing nothing more than printing photos or printing documents, you can get faster prints and better quality for your money. But if you want a printer that does it all, can do it wirelessly from many sources, and can grow with you as your needs do, the Epson XP-850 is an exceptional value.
