Most people scanning store shelves for solid over-ear noise-canceling headphones still land on Bose QuietComfort models or Apple’s AirPods Max. Sony has quietly offered a strong alternative since the ULT Wear, priced at $148 (was $248), arrived a little while ago, packing many of the same processor tricks found in the brand’s more expensive WH-1000XM5 while adding a dedicated button that ramps up low-end punch on demand.
Drivers pull into a bay expecting the same spray pattern every time, yet modern vehicles keep changing shapes, sensors, and contours that older equipment never anticipated. Autowash founders Dennis and Erin Dreeszen recognized this mismatch years ago after building their Denver-based chain of touchless self-serve washes from a single site in 2013 to more than two dozen locations. Conventional machines relied on decades-old designs that struggled with electric vehicles and accessories, so the couple decided to rebuild the process around industrial arms rather than fixed nozzles.
Nintendo released a five-minute overview trailer today for the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, giving a straightforward tour of the remake ahead of its November 5 launch. The video walks through Link’s early journey as the boy without a fairy, then moves into the broader kingdom of Hyrule with its people, monsters, and dungeons before settling on the tools and additions that reshape how the adventure plays.

Alibaba began selling its Qwen N1 and N1 Pro smart glasses in China on October 13 after a Hangzhou event, with pre-orders open since late September. Standard packages start near 2,899 RMB ($433) for the N1 and 3,399 RMB ($508) for the Pro, though subsidies and launch offers can bring the lower model closer to 2,200 RMB ($329). Both models land in the same price band as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses and are listed on Taobao, Tmall, JD.com, and Douyin.
Fujifilm’s latest square-format instant camera arrives with a noticeably softer outline than the boxy model that preceded it. The Instax Square 2’s body measures 139 by 119.5 by 71 millimeters and weighs 450 grams empty, shaped from smooth plastic that curves around the edges rather than meeting them at sharp angles. Vertical texture lines run along the grip and continue around the large front lens barrel, giving the camera a consistent feel in the hand whether you hold it for a quick portrait or a wider scene. Three color options ship with it: Slate Blue, Misty White, and Brick Red.
