Samsung has had some ups and downs with true wireless earphones, as evidenced by the recent Galaxy Buds Live, which offer a striking bean-like design that works counterintuitively to their active noise cancellation. The new Galaxy Buds Pro ($199.99) don’t look quite as unique, but they allow for an in-ear seal that makes for improved noise cancellation and sound quality. They’re also completely

“The cameras are pretty poor, producing blurry shots with little in the way of detail only to be used in an emergency. There’s a “for kids” edition of the tablet with a rubber case and no Alexa, but there also kids apps on the default version and fairly good parental controls. It requires an Amazon account to use and a Prime account to make the most of it.
