Apple quietly snuck some hardware upgrades into its refreshed second-generation AirPods Pro — now with a USB-C port on the case.

As the tech specs page confirms, the earbuds are now rated IP54, meaning they’ve picked up dust resistance, which the Lightning set technically lacked with their IPX4 rating.

Very early this morning, the new UE Epicboom was announced. It’s a pricey chonk of a Bluetooth speaker that should produce some powerful sound with the help of adaptive EQ tuning.

But it turns out that somehow, this is the first Ultimate Ears portable speaker to finally make the change from Micro USB to USB-C. Thanks to the commenters who pointed that out. And praise be, UE.
