Quick and easy to connect to your phone or laptop via Bluetooth, this wireless pair are perfect for video calls, exercising and listening to your favourite music and podcasts. Deemed as 'a game-changer in the world of wireless earbuds,' it's rare to score a pair of the latest Apple Airpods Pro on sale, but we've found a deal that's too good to miss out on. For a limited-time, you can take $50 off the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) at Amazon Australia, bringing the price down from $399 to $349. These tech-savvy headphones come with a MagSafe Case (USB-C) so you can charge on the go, and feature pro-level noise-cancellation for uninterrupted listening.

Sound is down to preference and opinions however the Beats had the crispest sound. They could handle all of my banging playlists without any issue. I like to listen to music very loud and my older self will hate me for it however I can say that the sound doesn't distort or muffle." And this reviewer shares: " My Powerbeats Pro is the best hearing aid I have ever bought. Yes, I use it for listening to music, podcasts and telephone conversations when I'm out and about - usually walking and window shopping. The battery lasts almost all day on a single charge. I don't take the charging case out with me because it is too bulky. With the hooks, my Powerbeats Pro sits comfortably in my ears with my glasses. I just wonder how people are able to use the Apple AirPods without losing them since they don't have hooks like the Powerbeats Pro. I stopped using Apple AirPods after losing two because they kept dropping out of my ears. Since I bought my Powerbeats Pro last year I have had hassle free walks for hours." They go on to add: "When I turn on the listening mode on my iPhone 14, I can hear very clearly what the Pastor is saying on Sundays in my church. I also put them on when my teenage grandchildren come to spend some time with me. My Powerbeats Pro can do everything the latest Apple AirPod Pro can do, perhaps even better without dropping out of the ears."

33-year-old flies from Florida to marry teen he met online, Utah officials say
A man was arrested after he was accused of flying from Florida to Utah to marry a teen, officials said. The 17-year-old's mom couldn't find her April 27, so she contacted family to see where she could be, according to a news release by the Utah County Sheriff's Office. She learned her daughter had been chatting with a man she met on social media for three months and could be with him, officials said. After tracking the teen through her Apple Airpods, deputies learned she was with Alex Pete Guy, officials told KUTV. Guy picked the teen up from her home and 'began driving East on I-80 with her quickly leaving Utah,' deputies said. GPS showed she was at a gas station in Wyoming so deputies informed the state's highway patrol, officials said. About 2 1/2 hours later, troopers found and arrested Guy. The teen was sent 'to a youth home in Wyoming so she could be reunited with her family,' deputies said. Guy rented a car and picked up the teen from her home 'without her parents' knowledge or consent to marry her,' arrest documents obtained by ABC 4 said. Guy was arrested and booked into jail in connection with aggravated kidnapping, deputies said. Utah County is about a 60-mile drive southeast from Salt Lake City.

'Catch and release' felon wanted on multiple firearms charges in WA
The Brief Sean Jacob Coleman, aka "Flaco," is wanted in western Washington for multiple firearms offenses. Coleman has had more than 25 warrants for failure to appear in court, and was sentenced two years ago for assault with a shotgun. He is considered armed and dangerous. KING COUNTY, Wash. - Sean Jacob Coleman, aka "Flaco," is wanted for two counts of first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm from two separate instances. He is legally prohibited from owning firearms after he was convicted on two felony crimes on January 17, 2023. Kent Police say he hit a man in the back of the head with a shotgun, then shot the man as he tried to run away. The victim survived. He was found guilty on January 17, 2023. Judge Averil Rothrock sentenced him to 20 months for second-degree assault and 16 months for second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, and ordered they be served concurrently (at the same time) instead of consecutively. In June 2024, Tukwila Police arrested Coleman after he tried to run from officers at Southcenter Mall. They found a Glock pistol in the vehicle he was driving. He is prohibited by law from having a gun because of his prior felony convictions. Officers had tracked him to the mall after Apple Airpods were taken during a car prowl in Auburn. Coleman was released on $15,000 bail. He failed to show up to court and a warrant was issued for his arrest. On October 17, 2024, Kent Police found him driving a stolen black GMC Sierra with no license plates after a report of someone shooting out the window of a Ford SUV. Officers located a silver short-barrel pump action shotgun inside the cab of the truck in plain view. He denied being involved in the shooting. He also denied having any knowledge of the shotgun even though officers found an unspent shotgun shell in his right front pants pocket. The shotgun was a Stevens Savage Arms model 820B 12-gauge pump-action shotgun loaded with an unspent shotgun shell in the chamber and had been modified. The overall length of the shotgun was 24" and the barrel of the shotgun was 14" with a shortened stock, therefore classifying it as an illegal short-barreled shotgun. At the time of his arrest, Coleman had a warrant for failure to appear in court and a DOC warrant for escaping community custody. King County prosecutors charged him again with first-degree unlawful possession of a firearm. On Nov. 4, 2024, Judge Johanna Bender released him on $25,000 bail. After he did not show up to court, Judge David Keenan issued a bench warrant for his arrest on Jan. 15, 2025. Coleman has been convicted of five felony crimes and has had more than 25 warrants issued for failure to appear in court. He is considered armed and dangerous. If you spot him, call 911. If you can tell police where to find him, submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound through the P3 Tips App on your cell phone, or call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). You will never be asked to give your name. Crime Stoppers will pay a cash reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to his arrest.
