Skullcandy has come out with a new set of in-ear headphones in Australia, the Method 360 ANC, using Bose technology to block out unwanted noise and pump tunes into your ears. At $189, the Skullcandy Method 360 ANC is the brand’s priciest set of earbuds to date. They’re said to level up comfort and audio quality to compete with pricier noise-cancelling headphones. There is plenty of competition already, with premium heavy-hitters hovering around the $300-400 mark.

Finished Dragon Age: The Veilguard last night, and I reckon it did a great job of satisfyingly closing several big story arcs that’ve run through the series. Still not over the emotional final mission. A bug did prevent me from getting the Platinum though 😠 https://t.co/mdkiCogDeW
