Apple will launch headphones more expensive than Beats

What does higher-end look like?

Remember the astronomic popularity of Beats by Dr. Dre? For the earlier part of the decade, the iconic brand was an incredibly popular fashion statement. Eventually, Apple capitalized on the brand’s popularity, purchasing the company for its own in 2014. Even now, Beats remains a viable and popular headphone brand.

Beats now represents Apple’s substantial stake in the audio accessories market. However, with the launch of the AirPods, Apple has its own horse in the race. The wireless AirPods created a new ecosystem for the company: go wireless to enjoy audio. Unfortunately, they have enjoyed only mixed reactions at best. Outside of necessity, the AirPods just can’t dominate as much as the Beats.

Apple will likely address this disparity soon. Based on a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is developing a high-end, wireless pair of over-ear headphones. Further, the report has drafted a timeframe for the launch: as early as the second half of the year.

Of course, the rumor started making its rounds last year. At the time, the plan failed to materialize anything tangible. Now, we know more.

The upcoming headphones will hopefully occupy a higher-end market, compared to the already-premium Beats. As such, the headphones will likely have a more expensive price tag.

Sadly, quality is another question altogether. Apple is already a high-end brand by itself. What does higher-end mean? What will it bring to the table?

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
