Apple AirPods Max 2 Headphones for $399 and 5 More Prime Day Tech Deals (Part 1)

By Jackson Chung June 23, 2026

Apple’s refreshed AirPods Max 2, priced at $399 on Prime Day (was $549), immerse you with a listening experience that grabs your attention right away and keeps it there without you having to think about it. The improved noise cancellation eliminates common distractions, such as road rumble or workplace noise, keeping the music front and center. When someone nearby begins talking, the headphones detect it and lower the volume for you, allowing you to hear what’s going on outside in crystal clear detail until the conversation is over. Pairing with Apple devices happens automatically and switches in the blink of an eye, while the USB-C connector allows for both quick top-ups as well as wired playback with CD-quality sound.

Star Wars Galactic Racer Turns Podracing into a High Stakes Season of Choices and Crashes

By Bill Smith June 23, 2026

Recent hands-on sessions with Star Wars Galactic Racer let players experience the return of podracing in a way that feels both familiar and new. Fuse Games built the title around a campaign that unfolds as a full season of races across different planets. Players step into the role of Shade, a helmeted pilot working the Outer Rim circuit after the fall of the Empire. The goal stays simple on the surface yet grows more demanding as ranks climb. Success brings credits and upgrade parts that improve cornering, top speed, or extra power for certain abilities. The ultimate target involves taking down a powerful rival named Kestar Bool who sits at the top of the league.

By Bill Smith June 23, 2026

A small plastic figure sat untouched inside its original box for close to two decades. When Rayly Retro finally opened it this month, the i-Buddy looked exactly as it did on store shelves back in 2008. White body, translucent wings, a round head ready to glow, and a sturdy base that plugs straight into USB. Nothing about the hardware had changed. The real work began once the cable touched a computer.

By Jackson Chung June 23, 2026

Astronomers have released a striking new image of the Cigar Galaxy (M82) taken with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Data for the portrait came from a dedicated 65-hour survey using the telescope’s Near-Infrared Camera. This extended observation time let Webb cut through dense dust clouds that normally hide the galaxy’s stellar population from view. Roughly 16.5 million individual stars now stand out clearly across the galactic disk in the resulting composite view. These stars show up as luminous blue-white specks scattered throughout the structure.
