Every new set of true wireless earbuds seems to refine the experience with better ANC, improved sound quality, or longer battery life. But Bowers & Wilkins is introducing an entirely new feature in its PI7 truly wireless earbuds. Using the charging case as a wireless adapter, the earbuds can actually stream audio from almost any device, even older ones lacking Bluetooth connectivity.

It’s a problem that’s plagued anyone who’s flown with a pair of wireless active noise-canceling earbuds. Unlike larger wireless headphones that include a backup cable that enables them to physically connect to the headphone jack of a plane’s in-flight entertainment system, wireless earbuds can only be connected to a device that supports Bluetooth. That means you have to skip the in-flight movie for content that you hopefully remembered to download to your smartphone or tablet.

Swedish digital audio pioneer Dirac, Harman International, and Volvo Cars, have announced acoustical design collaboration for the 2021 Volvo 60 and 90 vehicle series, that recreates the acoustics of the Nefertiti Jazz Club in Gothenburg, Sweden, within the car cabin.
The new Jazz Club mode expands Volvoâs initiative to deliver accurate real-world acoustic replications that began with its Concert Hallâmode, which simulates the aural experience of a live performance at the celebrated Gothenburg Concert Hall.
