Apple Details New AirPods Pro with Active Noise Cancellation[teaser]The newest addition to the AirPods lineup has been detailed.[/teaser] Apple has launched pre-orders for its new AirPods Pro. The advanced wireless, in-ear headphones are set to start shipping on October 30 for $249. "AirPods are the best-selling headphones in the world. The one-tap setup experience, incredible sound and iconic design have made them a beloved Apple product, and with AirPods Pro, we're taking the magic even further," said Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. "The new in-ear AirPods Pro sound amazing with Adaptive EQ, fit comfortably with flexible ear tips and have innovative Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency mode. We think customers are going to love this new addition to the AirPods family." The AirPods Pro feature a new lightweight, in-ear design with three different sized ear tips for each earbud. In addition, the headphones utilize a vent system to equalize pressure and reduce discomfort, along with a sweat and water resistant construction. Active Noise Cancellation has been incorporated as well with two microphones and advanced software. This tech can remove background noise with support for continuously adapting the sound signal 200 times per second. And for users who would still prefer to hear ambient sounds, the earbuds also support switching to a Transparency mode, enabling the background environment and music playback to remain audible together. Under the hood, the AirPods Pro are powered by a custom high dynamic range amplifier, and each earbud includes a custom high-excursion, low-distortion speaker driver with support for bass down to 20Hz. An Adaptive EQ feature is implemented as well, allowing the device to automatically adjust low-frequency and mid-frequency playback to better suit a user's ear. Finally, when it comes to battery life, the headphones are rated for up to five hours of listening time without Active Noise Cancellation or up to four and a half hours of listening time with Active Noise Cancellation.

Through first-hand footage of the disaster and personal interviews with survivors and emergency responders, Fire In Paradise vividly retells the terrifying survival stories from that day. American Son (Netflix, November 1) - It's 3am on a rainy night in South Florida, and mother Kendra Ellis-Connor (Kerry Washington) paces anxiously in a police station waiting room as she tries to piece together what may have happened to her missing son.

Directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Edgerton, The King co-stars Sean Harris, Ben Mendelsohn, Robert Pattinson, and Lily-Rose Depp. The Devil Next Door (Netflix, November 4) - The true story of John Demjanjuk, a retired Ukrainian-American autoworker living a peaceful life with his family in Cleveland, Ohio suburbs in the 1980s. When a group of Holocaust survivors identify Demjanjuk’s photograph as “Ivan the Terrible” - a notoriously cruel Nazi death camp guard who tortured and killed nearly one million Jewish prisoners during World War II - Demjanjuk’s American dream is shattered and he is extradited to Israel to stand trial for crimes against humanity. Israel is transfixed as a media frenzy erupts around the trial in Jerusalem, the nation plunged into trauma and fascination by “the trial of the century.” As the case uncovers dark corners of memory and the horrors of war, the Demjanjuk case becomes a race against time for the defendant and his alleged victims. Seth Meyers: Lobby Baby (Netflix, November 5) - Late Night host, Seth Meyers, steps out from behind his desk and onto the stage at the Pantages Theater in Minneapolis to explain to his fans that you can love a lobby baby as much as a hospital baby...in time.
