JBL Tour One M3 Headphones Review: Our First Impressions
JBL's inclusion of the Smart Tx is what distinguishes the M3 from other pairs of premium headphones we've tested. Auracast is exciting because it can provide the same type of multi-device connectivity that we currently see in Wi-Fi–based protocols, like AirPlay, Google Cast, or Sonos — but without the Wi-Fi. Most devices with standard Bluetooth transmitters built in (like your phone, laptop, or tablet) can stream audio to only one device at a time (some standalone transmitters can stream to two devices). But with Auracast you can transmit audio to an unlimited number of Bluetooth headphones, speakers, and earbuds simultaneously, as long as the receiving device also supports Auracast. This means that several people can listen to audio from a movie playing on a single tablet, can listen to the same music through multiple wireless headphones, or can play the same video game while wearing their own earbuds. This was previously possible only with specialized wireless TV headphone systems that support a fixed number of headsets, are configured explicitly to the transmitter, and were made by the same company. The Tour One M3 package includes a small Bluetooth transmitter that allows you to use the headphones with audio sources that lack Bluetooth. Plus it supports the new Auracast protocol. Lauren Dragan/NYT Wirecutter Over the past year, we've tested several pairs of earbuds that are 'Auracast-enabled,' but we couldn't find a reliable transmitter device. As a result, that feature went largely untested. So, to test the Smart Tx's broadcasting capabilities, I grabbed the EarFun Air Pro 4, LG xboom Buds, and JBL Go 4 Speaker — all of which support Auracast streams. I successfully connected all three to the transmitter, and the experience was very cool. I set up my laptop to broadcast music from the living room to a speaker in the bedroom while I listened from my balcony via headphones. It was fun to give headphones and earbuds to my family and let them watch a movie together while I read a book in silence. I found myself imagining silent outdoor movie nights with personalized sound for my friends who are hard of hearing, or a road trip with kids in the backseat playing a game on a shared tablet while the adults have a conversation free of cartoonish sound effects. The Smart Tx transmitter has a touchscreen through which you can check battery life and make simple adjustments to the headphones when your phone is stowed away. Lauren Dragan/NYT Wirecutter Unfortunately, we aren't quite there yet. As of now, only a handful of headphones and speakers are Auracast-enabled. And although the Smart Tx connected with all of the headphones I tested, the process for non-JBL devices was a maze of apps and troubleshooting, and it was hardly intuitive or frustration-free. The Smart Tx works incredibly well when transmitting to JBL devices, and it also worked well as an Auracast receiver when I connected to a stream from an LG TV. But it's unlikely that the Smart Tx will get much use for Auracast until more-compatible devices are available. That said, the Smart Tx is also handy as a basic Bluetooth transmitter. If you frequently use shared computers at work, regularly travel by plane, or switch between a number of Bluetooth devices, the Smart Tx will be a benefit. On one of my cross-country flights, I used the included cable to connect the Tx to the plane's in-flight entertainment system. There wasn't any discernible latency, and it was a luxury to be untethered from the seat in front of me.

LG G5 vs. LG C5 – is the cheaper option good enough?
Table of Contents Table of Contents Pricing and sizing Specifications What are they actually like? Both are just so good LG's OLED TVs are some of the best OLED TVs and indeed some of the best TVs all together, so picking between them is a tricky proposition. Do you need to spend big for the latest top model, the LG G5? Or can you get away with paying less for the more-affordable second-place option, the LG C5? You can certainly save a lot of money with the latter, but the former's specifications are so impressive. Here's how these two excellent OLED TVs stack up. Recommended Videos Pricing and sizing Both the LG G5 and LG C5 are available in a wide range of sizes and with a comparably broad spectrum of prices to go with them. The C5 starts at a modest 42-inches for $1,400, with the 48-inch model at $1,600, the 55-inch at $2,000, 65-inches costs $2,700, 77-inches $3,800, and the largest 83-inch model is priced at$5,400. The smallest G5 size you can buy is 55-inches (48-inch model is coming, but not available yet), with a price tag of $2,500. That rises to $3,400 for the 55-inch model, and $3,400 for the 65-incher. At 77-inches, you'll pay $4,500, and up to $6,500 for the 83-inch model. The largest available is 95-inches, where the price jumps to a staggering $25,000. The C5 is by far the more affordable of the two, shaving around 25% of the price at each size, and is even relatively affordable at the bottom end. It's still significantly more than the price-cut last-generation versions, however. Those always remain a strong option when shopping for a new TV, as intergenerational changes aren't always as dramatic as the price jump might suggest. Specifications LG G5 LG C5 Sizes 48 (coming soon), 55, 65, 77, 83, 97-inches 42, 48, 55, 65, 77, 83-inches Panel type WOLED (four stack) WOLED Resolution 4K 4K HDR HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG Refresh rate 165Hz 144Hz Operating system LG webOS LG webOS AI processor Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen 2 Alpha 9 Gen 8 Smart home support LG Thinq, Google Home, Matter, Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Homekit LG Thinq, Google Home, Matter, Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple Homekit Unsurprisingly, the specifications of these two TVs are very similar. They offer the same resolution and HDR support, and have the same smart home functions. However, what these specifications don't reveal is just how much brighter the G5 should be. LG claims it's three times brighter than the B5, so is likely at least twice as bright at its maximum capabilities than the C5. This added brightness comes from the G5's use of the new 'four stack' OLED panel technology which ditches the MLAs from previous G-series displays, whilst still boosting brightness and color vibrancy. It makes the G5 one of the best looking OLEDs we've ever seen, which is a high bar to meet. Similarly, its newer AI processor will give it better dynamic upscaling and image adjustment on the fly. It also enjoys a higher refresh rate, hitting up to 165Hz for PC gamers, where the C5 is limited to a mere 144Hz. Both offer full support for 4K 120Hz gaming on consoles, however, with auto low latency mode, and incredibly fast response times with near-zero input lag. What are they actually like? We haven't had a chance to put together a full review of these two TVs yet, so we'll reserve our final judgement for when that happens. We have had some hands-on time wit though, and suffice to say, both TVs dramatically impressed. Even on the show floor at CES, the brightness of the G5 was immediately apparent. It looked absolutely gorgeous and firmly cements LG's flagship OLED TV as a set that's just as comfortable in bright living rooms as it is in basement cinema rooms, or in darkened bedrooms. Equally, though, the C5 is a real banger for your buck. It's a G2 for C2 money in 2025. The LG C5 Is a TV I'll Be Recommending All Year The picture quality is stellar and with massively improved processing, keeping the picture crisp while the brightness and colors are boosted to much higher levels than we've seen from this grade of TV before. It's not as bright as the G5 and its gaming features aren't quite as impressive, but it gets close enough for most people that this TV is going to be a great option for those on tighter budgets. Best LG TVs of 2025 | First Look There are very real reasons to buy the G5 instead, but start your expectations at the C5 and then see if you need more than that before splashing out. Both are just so good Until we finalize our review coverage of these two TVs, we're not going to definitively say one way or another which TV you should buy. You'll have to make that call for yourself using our best guesses, but we are comfortably saying that neither TV will disappoint you. They're super bright, super colorful, and super fast OLED TVs, with all the latest bells and whistles. The G5 is brighter and it's going to be a few years before a C-grade LG TV can match it, but as we've seen with the G2/C5 comparison, it's not that long a wait to have.

MAFS' Carina Mirabile undergoes $35,000 post-show transformation: 'Beautiful'
MAFS bride Carina Mirabile has created a name for herself as one of the most fashion-forward brides on the show and has been known to make some bold decisions with her looks, like going blonde in her early 20s. Now, it's been revealed that the MAFS bride has spent $35,000 undergoing a major transformation since filming wrapped on the reality show in November. Yahoo Lifestyle understands the 31-year-old had a breast lift augmentation with Sydney-based Dr Kourosh Tavakoli earlier this year. With the surgery, Carina went from a B-cup to a D-cup with a fat transfer, which is a choice some women make instead of implants. The Perth-based bride showed off the results of her now complete transformation while arriving at a mini-cast reunion in Sydney on Thursday evening. Carina was joined by co-stars Ryan Donnelly, Eliot Donavan and Adrian Araouzou at Bill & Toni's in Darlinghurst. While uniting with her co-stars, her transformation appeared to be the talk of the group with Eliot filming a TikTok where he joked: 'When you bump into an old friend and something about them looks different.' He jokingly added, "Is that a new hairdo?" RELATED: MAFS' Carina Mirabile barely recognisable in throwback snap: 'Stunning' MAFS' Awhina Rutene debuts major transformation: 'So much better' MAFS' Jamie Marinos almost unrecognisable in throwback photo: 'Gorgeous' "And just like that Elliot became a devout Catholic," one user wrote, referencing this week's homestays, where Carina's 'husband' Paul Antoine was questioned over his faith by her family. "Oh she got bangs! Beautiful," another said. "Honestly y'all look good together," a third wrote, with Eliot responding, "As friends." "I think she wants you to at least look her in the eyes," someone else joked, with the MAFS groom replying, "I'm not risking it." "She kinda looks like Kim Kardashian," another said, with another saying he also looks like Scott Disick. It comes after throwback photos on Instagram show Carina looking barely recognisable with blonde hair on her 21st birthday. In the snap, she paired her lighter locks with a black patterned gown and simple make-up – a stark contrast to her striking looks on MAFS.
