Since its inception, Bluetooth has been used to transmit audio wirelessly and privately between a single headset or speaker and a device like a phone or tablet. But Bluetooth is now poised to get a big upgrade — one that adds an entirely new dimension to how we use our wireless headphones.

I had birdies on 3 and 4 after teeing off the 1st hole, but then dropped a shot on 7 and the rest were pars to be out in 34, one under the card. My back nine was strong with birdies on…
I’m a father of two, and my back hasn’t been the same these past few years. At CES 2024, I took a seat in Razer’s new Iskur V2 gaming chair — and I could really feel the difference in support on my lower back.
