The Rock Announces New Workout Headphones In Under Armour Collection

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has just launched a pair of fitness-centric wireless headphones called the Project Rock!

Built by JBL in partnership with Under Armour, these are adorned with The Rock’s signature Brahma bull insignia and are being launched along with a Spotify playlist, curated by Johnson, called Iron Paradise Airwaves. The headphones, which are essentially the Project Rock Edition of the new UA Sport Wireless headphones, provide you with high-quality Under Armour materials in every aspect.

The foldable headphones offer SuperVent lining alongside the perimeter of the ear pads for breathability coupled with a so-called Under Armour grip material on the inner parts of the pads and headband for a soft feel and more stability. Furthermore, the pads are removable and hand-washable. They also come with a ventilated hard case to let them dry out between workouts.

The headphones are powered by a 610mAh battery and should last up to 16 hours, depending on the volume. Also, thanks to JBL’s quick charge technology, a simple 5-minute charge should last you for an hour of wireless use, while it takes two hours to charge from empty.

JBL has also incorporated a TalkThru function to quiet the music and turn on speech-optimized microphones to let you talk with people nearby. What’s more is that these mics can also be used to activate Siri or Google Assistant commands. Unfortunately, though, the headphones still rely on the older micro USB for charging and Bluetooth 4.1 for connectivity.

Disappointingly, there’s no support for Qualcomm aptX or other high-quality wireless audio transmission technologies, which means you might not get the best audio quality, which is quite a deal-breaker.

The Project Rock headphones are now available for $249.95 (Rs. 17,100) via the Under Armour store.

Apple is all set to launch its first 5G iPhones next year, and a new report out of Japan now claims that they will ship with Qualcomm’s X55 5G modem under-the-hood. According to multiple sources quoted by the Nikkei Asian Review , at least three of the devices the company will launch next year, will ship with 5G connectivity. “It will be the first time Apple introduces 5G iPhones … There will be three of them and the company has set an aggressive sales target” , said one of them. As per the report, the next-gen iPhone lineup will be powered by the A14 chip that will use the 5nm technology, making it significantly more power efficient than its predecessor, the A13 Bionic, found on the current-gen iPhone 11 lineup. At least two of the three new phones will also have what the report called ‘flexible’ OLED displays, although it’s not immediately clear what it meant by that term. In addition, Apple is also developing a new ‘3D-sensing rear-camera’ that is said to be able to “sense t...
