Some people use camomile tea, others use breathing exercises, but, for me, the most reliable tactic for getting to sleep quickly is to avoid screens before bed. Yet, actually doing so requires some creativity if I want to keep up with news online.

My headset, an old, bulky beast I pilfered from my significant other, made my gaming experience less than stellar, leaving my ears pained by the time I practically ripped them off my head. Plus, other players would tell me my gaming headset made it nearly…

Gaming headsets are designed around a lot of factors — comfort, connectivity, latency, battery life, price. Audio quality is usually sidelined, if not completely overlooked, in favor of epic explosions and booming bass beats. SteelSeries’ Arctis lineup of gaming headsets is already unique in this regard, with its focus on natural-sounding, balanced audio and understated aesthetics. The latest addition to the Arctis lineup, however, hardly looks like a gaming headset at all. The Arctis Nova Pro comes in two iterations,…

SteelSeries has done it again. Despite having some absolutely great headsets in the Arctis 7+ and 7P+, the gaming peripheral company wasn’t content to sit on its laurels and settle for what it had already accomplished. Instead, you could say that it wanted to do something big. Something even more memorable. Something somewhat celestial. Meet the new SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro series. As the latest headsets from SteelSeries, the Nova Pro series combines everything that the company has learned from its previous…

USB-C, 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, 3.5mm, ANC, twin batteries... You can listen to three things…

While the known details about this addition to the MCU aren’t yet clear, which means we have zero information about who will bring this anticipated live adaptation to life, this hasn’t stopped fans from speculating and imagining who they’d like to see don the iconic suit and take on this role. Now, there is already a long line of actors that fans want…

The brief, yet colossal eruption of a dead star undergoing a nova explosion has been captured by one of the most powerful X-ray instruments in space.The joint German-Russian eROSITA telescope, aboard the Spektr-RG space observatory in the L2 Lagrange point (yes, Webb's home), caught for the first time what is known as the 'fireball' phase of a classical nova.
