Today in Gear: 7 Noteworthy Products for Your Saturday

There comes a time when the technology that you hold so dear, and spent so much money on, becomes obsolete — no matter how cutting edge it was when you bought it. It’s the nature of the industry. It seems like the days of obsoletion have arrived for some 2017 iMacs and various older MacBooks. According to a Macrumors report published today, users are flooding Twitter and the Apple Support Communities claiming that their various Apple computers have bricked after trying to upgrade to macOS Monterey.

Beats’s newest wireless earbuds are essentially sport-focused versions of Apple’s AirPods Pro. They pack the same H1 chip, have the same active-noise-cancellation and transparency modes, and support spatial audio with dynamic head tracking. And they sound almost as good. The only real difference other than design — the Fit Pro have an all-new flexible earwing tip to help them better stay in your ears — is that they don’t have a wireless charging case. – Tucker Bowe, Senior Staff Writer
