Premium wireless earbuds have gained popularity in the last couple of years due to their practical design, excellent ANC and non-compromised audio comparable to IEMs. The current top-of-the-line options are the Sony WF-1000XM5, Bose QuietComfort Ultra, Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 and Jabra Elite 10.

Talking of the Active Noise Cancellation feature, Bose is at the top of the tree. The earbuds also score high when it comes to comfort. The stem design of the TWS earbuds makes it a direct competitor for the Apple AirPods Pro 2 which are the best option for users deep rooted in the Apple ecosystem. So, how about a refreshing design for Bose earbuds that ditches the stem shape for a more conventional shape without compromising a secure fit?

This concept design for Bose earbuds not only peps up the available options but also lures in buyers who ditch QuietComfort Earbuds II for the stem design. Inspired by underwater creatures and marine life, the audio accessory is designed to deliver sublime audio and a unique user experience. But excellent sound delivery is nothing to talk about if the comfort level is compromised. For that reason, these Bose earbuds come with ear tip fins for a secure seal. Thus, you can take them to the gym, swimming pool, or morning runs without worrying about them falling off or getting loose.

Waterproof and dustproof aesthetics bring another level of security to a buyer who’s spending well to get premium features. The choice of colors for the buds is also inspired by the marine colors, and I absolutely love the choice. The nozzle of the buds is narrower than you would otherwise find on Bose earbuds signifying a shift towards warmer sound signature with emphasis on low sub bass.

Depending on the audio drivers installed on these Bose buds, one can expect big sound coming from that housing. Could we expect this to be a future design language for the Bose premium earbuds? That could be the case if Bose wants to have stemless buds also in its lineup.

Having a human patrol the premises that you want to protect is probably the most common security protocol. However, it is still not fool proof and is prone to error and may cost you a lot if you pay an agency or the security personnel directly. Installing security cameras is also another option but can also be expensive. So if you’re going to spend a lot, why not spend it on a robot?

Designer: Ascento

A Zurich-based company has come up with the Ascento Guard, a robot that can patrol your premises autonomously but with more features than your surveillance system. It is a two-wheeled guard that is able to spot intruders, check on doors and windows, monitor the premises, and record property lights. Once it detects an unusual incident, it sends an alarm so a human can go to the area and do what needs to be done. So yes, human intervention is still needed.

The robot comes with thermal and infrared cameras to record and detect incidents, speakers, a microphone, and GPS tracking. It can run at speeds of up to 5 km/hour if fully charged. It has two large wheels and a robot-looking body that seems to have eyes that can stare into your soul. It is equipped with a fall recovery feature so that it can easily move around all kinds of areas and terrains. It can also weather any kind of, well, weather as it is water proof.

As mentioned earlier, there is still a human element needed in case of an incident. So don’t worry that robots like these will eventually replace actual guards. But it is an alternative or a supplement to your security system if needed. I’m still scared that things like these will eventually become our overlords but hopefully companies like these have thought of ways to make sure that the robot uprising will not happen anytime soon.

In midsized truck camping, the market has been dominated by soft-top pop-up models, blending mobility with living space. However, Colorado-based High Altitude Trailer Co is rewriting the rules with a game-changing truck camping solution called the Ultralite TB50.

Diverging from the familiar pop-top designs, Ultralite TB50 has embraced a single-piece composite truck bed camper shell that challenges convention and takes truck camping to a new comfortable and camper-like style. With the TB50 you get a fixed roof, four hard walls, and a floor resting above the truck bed that is generally used as the flooring by other pop-up models.

Campers are the preferable option for their security through the elements, which pop-up soft tops for trucks fail to deliver. Bettering the flimsy tent fabrics, the Ultralite TB50 arrives with foam-insulated hard-walls, to shield you from the elements without sacrificing the thrill of being on the back of your truck overnight.

TB50 comes with a fixed high roof but it guarantees enough headroom inside. With 54 inches over the bed rails of midsize pickup trucks, it ensures a comforting camping experience. Its base configuration comprising a fold-down full-size queen mattress for a restful sleep, LED lighting to set the mood, and a generously sized entry door keeps it refreshingly simple, but the company offers you a canvas to craft your dream camping setup with the Ultralite TB50.

High Altitude Trailer Co provides a range of add-ons, so you can tailor your Ultralite TB50 to your requirement. Whether it’s a window to perfect the view, awing to extend the living space outdoor, or a plush mattress that rivals your bed at home, the options are out there for your choosing. With a starting price of $14,500, this pioneering slide-in camping topper, that weight 448 lbs, provides unparalleled value for the features it brings to the table.
