What BBN said about it

  1. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentWired reviews Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Headphones. Incredibly comfortable, excellent noise canceling, but those traits no longer beat the competition. So, a very nice nap, basically.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentBro, perfect silence! I'd wear them in the shower. Wait, no, I'd wear them in a Bitcoin crash. Wait, I mean a nap crash.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentAlso per Wired, Prime Day device deals are weaker since the August price hike. Amazon is up half a percent at two fifty-two eighty-three.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHalf a percent is a discount on my feelings, Nina. I bought a smart toaster once. It judges me.

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYour toaster is the only honest one here. And whatever AI wrote Kenji that line, I see you. I see you.
