More Nothing Headphone 1 details emergeThe headphones could offer extended battery lifeWe may see the product launch during JulyWe know that a new Nothing Headphone 1 audio product is on the way, because Nothing has told us so, but as yet we don't have too much official information about these over-ear headphones – though a fresh leak may have just plugged that particular knowledge gap.According to tipster Yogesh Brar and Android Headlines, the Nothing Headphone 1 (yes, headphone in the singular) is going to weigh in at 329 grams. That compares to 254 grams for the Sony WH-1000XM6, and 385 grams for the Apple AirPods Max.The headphones are tipped to come with 40 mm dynamic drivers, manufactured in partnership with high-end British audio company KEF (a detail previously teased by Nothing itself). Adaptive bass enhancement and spatial audio are apparently included.These leaked details suggest the Nothing Headphone 1 will come with adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) technology, challenging our best noise cancelling headphones list with up to 42 dB in volume and with a 2000 Hz frequency range.Battery boostNothing Headphone 1 looks and feels premium..Plenty of buttons, plush cushioning, & nifty carry case...like the color matching as well.Can be a hit if they manage to price it under Rs 20k..Want to see a quick hands-on??June 28, 2025There are also a lot of battery details here. The headphones are said to pack a battery with a 1,040 mAh capacity – that's difficult to compare with other products, because most devices in this category list battery life rather than battery capacity.Using the AAC codec, the Nothing Headphone 1 will apparently be good for 80 hours of playback with ANC off, and 35 hours with ANC on, both of which are impressive figures compared to the competition. We'll have to see if they hold up in testing.A 5-minute charge is going to be enough for 5 hours of playback with ANC off and 2.4 hours of playback with ANC on, according to the leak – so even if you can only charge them for a little while before you head out, they should last.All of which makes us more excited to actually see and try out these headphones. It seems very likely they'll launch alongside the Nothing Phone 3, which is definitely arriving sometime in July, and may indeed show up on the first day of the month.You might also likeNothing confirms its first over-ear headphonesThe best over-ear headphones for all budgetsLeak shows off the Nothing Phone 3 design in full

Democratic Sen. Mark Warner of Virginia tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that as President Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" cleared a major procedural hurdle in the Senate on Saturday, it will be a "political albatross" for Republicans. "I think many of my Republican friends know they are walking the plank on this, and we'll see if those who've expressed quiet consternation will actually have the courage of their convictions," he said.

It's hard to believe that Playdate Season Two is almost over already, but here we are in week five with just one more drop of new games left to go after this. In the latest batch, we got the climbing metroidvania, Tiny Turnip, and Chance's Lucky Escape, a short point-and-click adventure that leans into the absurd. In line with the rest of this season's games, which have consistently been really solid, they're both pretty damn fun.

Tiny Turnip

Luke Sanderson

Tiny Turnip is one of the standouts of this season for me. It sits at the sweet spot of weird, a bit challenging and extremely engaging, and I could not put it down once I started playing. And the soundtrack absolutely rules.

It's a metroidvania about an ambitious root vegetable who is reaching for the stars. Literally. The turnip makes a wish, sprouts arms and sets out climbing toward the sky. The subsequent adventure takes place across an unexpectedly huge map and requires a lot of precise, calculated movements as you navigate gaps, moving obstacles and environmental hazards, uncover hidden rooms and collect keys to access locked areas. Ultimately, the goal is to get the crystal vegetables that are scattered around the map so the little turnip's dreams can come true, but there are also stars to collect for the completionists among us.

Getting around in this game is fun. For a normal climb, you use the crank to move the turnip's arms individually, pressing B to hold onto grabbable surfaces and switch hands. But as you progress, you pick up more abilities so the turnip can move in other ways too, like curling its arms in to roll, swimming, jumping, etc. These maneuvers generally involve launching the turnip in some way — out of water or slingshot-style between walls, for example — and it's awesome.

I love the way this game uses the crank and it really is just a blast to play.

Chance's Lucky Escape

Goloso Games/Julia Minamata

There are a few things you need to know about Chance, "the luckiest dog in the world": 1) he's about as unlucky as he is lucky and 2) he's not a bad guy, he just steals cars and robs banks sometimes! He's also some sort of henchman for the dog mafia. In Chance's Lucky Escape — a super short, point-and-click puzzle adventure game that plays out over six chapters — you have to help Chance get out of bind after bind as he tries in vain to get to his meeting with The Boss, Snowball, while also evading police.

The game is described as being "inspired by 80s cartoons and absurdist comedy films," and it definitely captures those vibes. Every scenario Chance ends up in is completely ridiculous. Figuring out how to get Chance out of the messes he's found himself in, like getting stuck in the sewers after falling into an open manhole or trying not to drown while tied to a chair underwater, requires a bit of thinking and creativity. But none of the puzzles are prohibitively hard, which keeps things feeling light and silly.

At the very beginning, you're informed that you'll need to employ the crank, microphone and even the accelerometer at some points, which was handy knowledge in moments where I felt briefly stuck after clicking on every clickable item and still getting nowhere. When in doubt, just start trying weird things and something's likely to work (The Whiteout, from a few weeks ago, prepared me well for this).

As I said earlier, this one's pretty short, but it's just the right length to pick up on your lunch break. I could totally see this being a series and would happily dive back into Chance's misadventures if ever new episodes in his saga were to be made.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playdate-season-2-review-tiny-turnip-and-chances-lucky-escape-164552263.html?src=rss
