If you're a frequent listener of Popular Technology Radio, you've probably heard The Wirecutter Writer and Writer and Editor for SoundStage! Solo, Brent Butterworth, talk about the phenomenon called 'eardrum suck'. This painful, psychosomatic condition afflicts some users of high end noise cancelling headphones, but thankfully the new Bose NC 700 Headphones have a remedy. These $399 replacements for the Bose QuietComfort 35 II get high marks from Brent, who claims they are more comfortable, sound better, and have adjustable levels of noise cancellation. We also chat about the oversaturation of the headphone market after Chinese manufacturers decided to start marketing their own products; like Haomeja who promise "Supercar loud boom sounds." Changing topics, we discuss the recent, and rampant, 'Agent Smith' malware afflicting millions of Android devices and how to use best practices to avoid contracting such technological afflictions. Closing up the show we discuss Amazon's new Lord of the Rings prequel TV series and multiplayer video game, as well as the oncoming deluge of new streaming services. Tune in to learn more.
