Incase dresses up headphone line for summer

We balked a little bit at Incase’s decision to interject itself into the headphone marketplace, but after our review of its full-size Sonic headphones, it’s clear that the company has something unique to offer amidst a rampant influx of phoned-in headphone offerings: design. 

The Sonic remain the most comfortable pair of over-ear headphones we’ve ever tested. The headphones’ suede-covered memory foam ear pads, amply padded headband, ultra-light weight and rubbery, matte finish combine to make for a set of cans one can be proud to show off and pass around. Though their sound quality wasn’t to our somewhat persnickety taste, much time and effort was put into creating a signature sound that we think will find favor to certain kinds of listeners.

Now, InCase has released an updated version of each of its headphone models by dressing them up in summer-friendly colors. The Sonic have been updated with an off-white finish — a welcome (if only slight) change to the model’s previous color scheme. The remaining three models have received bolder color changes. 

The on-ear Reflex model is now outfitted with dark denim around its flexible steel headband, while the rest is clad in a hot-red version of its coated canvas material. The Pivot, Incase’s alternate on-ear model, sports either a green or pink color scheme with ear cups that fold flat for easy storage. Finally, the in-ear Capsule are now available in an eye-catching combination of bright purple and hot pink. 

The newly colored headphones are available now at Incase’s website and will be available at Apple Stores nationwide starting tomorrow.

Travelers: Come one, come all for these Bluetti Black Friday hauls
BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station deal -- hero

If you've been paying attention, and I'm sure you have, you already know that a bunch of BLUETTI Black Friday deals have dropped, including on its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station, and more gear like the Charger 1. But if you thought it all ended there, you were mistaken. There's a lot more on offer this year and now's a great time to stock up on portable power, accessories -- like solar panels -- and much more. See, the idea is to make sure you have home backup and off-grid power before any big events happen. Before all those hurricanes and tornadoes and big storms. Being from Florida myself, I know better. But either way, you should consider these deals and I highly recommend grabbing something, so let's get into it.

As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion
Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.
