Ferrari by Logic3 quiets its engine down with noise-cancelling R300 cans

blackr300ferrari

Ferrari by Logic3 has introduced the R300 noise-cancelling on-ear cans as the newest member of the Scuderia Ferrari Collection. 

Like their parent model, these phones are slick, streamlined, and hyper-stylized, but we’ve all come to expect those kinds of superlatives when it comes to Ferrari’s audio products. More important – to borrow from auto parlance – is what’s under the hood.

The engines behind the R300’s are a pair of 40mm drivers, which are meant to provide enough horses to support the audible frequency range (20Hz-20kHz), and provide an ultra clear 110dB at 1Khz 1mW sensitivity, making them ideal for low powered mobile devices like the iPhone. Conspicuously unavilable, however, are any details on the noise-cancelling feature. 

The R300s come in two different colors (black and white) and two different versions: an Apple-specific model, and a model designed to support all other mobile and MP3 devices. The Apple-specific R300s sport a three button mic, while both feature a detachable cable and collapse for easy storage.

There’s a certain cachet that comes with the Ferrari name, but we’re hoping that these phones don’t rely on branding and a pretty face to get by.

Ferrari by Logic3’s R300 phones are available now for $350.

It's been a long time coming, but the wait is almost over. Sony's premium home theater soundbars are set to receive a software update that will add support for variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low-latency mode (ALLM), two HDMI 2.1 gaming features that have been absent since these products launched.

The soundbars in question are the Sony HT-A5000, HT-A7000, and the multi-wireless speaker HT-A9 system. All three are scheduled to receive the update this fall, but Sony has declined to share specific timing, saying only that there will be more information closer to the rollout date.

What is Roku? The streaming platform explained

How do you get your Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, or Prime Video fix? Chances are it's through a streaming device or smart TV, and there's a good chance that it's through a Roku device or one running its pioneering streaming operating system. At this point, cord-cutting is old news, and Roku was one of the earliest companies to drive the adoption of web-based streaming with its self-contained, app-driven devices.

Today, watching something "on Roku" is standard parlance and the company's popular platform can be found baked into some of the biggest TV brands in the world as well as in its own lineup of streaming devices sticks, and set-top boxes. Even so, that doesn't mean you totally get what a Roku actually is. What is Roku? How does Roku work? Do you need a subscription to use it? Is it just a device you buy, or is it software?
