Sometimes that deep exhale doesn’t just feel psychologically satisfying, but physically restorative. According to a study published in the journal Science Advances, new evidence indicates sighing truly is a way to help reset your body—specifically, the fluid that coats your lungs.

Noise-canceling headphones have become essential gear for commuters and travelers who need to block out the world and focus on what matters. Sony just quietly liquidated XM4 inventory on Amazon, dropping the price to $198 from the usual $348, and the timing is interesting because both the XM5 and XM6 are on the market at nearly three times this price. Here’s the thing though: the technological improvements between these new generations are minimal and most users can’t tell the difference in real-world use. The XM4 delivers the same exceptional active noise cancellation, 30-hour battery life, multipoint connection, and premium sound…

Down on King’s Road, black cabs scribble wet S-curves, their windshield wipers keeping time with an imaginary drum loop. I’m in London, at least mentally. My head is nestled in a pair of Onyx Black Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 over-ear noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones, “Retrograde” by James Blake pouring in.
