Time to cue up Natasha Bedingfield. Anyone But You, the rom-com starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, is now available to stream on Netflix.
The film originally opened in theaters during the 2023 holiday season. It was the highest-grossing romantic comedy in recent years, earning over $200 million globally, according to Variety. After leaving theaters, it became available to rent on demand. And now, Netflix subscribers can stream the R-rated flick at home. Alongside Sweeney and Powell, the cast includes Darren Barnet, Alexandra Shipp, Hadley Robinson, GaTa and Charlee Fraser.
Here’s what you need to know about streaming Anyone But You and why you may want to consider using a VPN to stream it.

What to know about Anyone But You
Anyone But You has an intriguing premise: rom-com king Glen Powell and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney star in a loose, modern adaption of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. If you’re not the biggest fan of the Bard, that means two household names take on some classic rom-com tropes, including enemies to lovers and fake dating.
The movie features the song Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, an early-2000s pop anthem. Powell’s character Ben refers to it as his “serenity song” in the movie, and like all good rom-coms, we get an end-credits montage of the whole cast singing along. It also led to a series of TikToks of folks dancing to the song in theaters after the movie ended.
When to watch Anyone But You on Netflix
Sony Pictures’ Anyone But You is available to stream on Netflix now, beginning Tuesday, April 23. If you only have the ad-supported plan for $7 per month, you will not be able to watch the movie. Other Netflix plans, including the standard and standard plus, will have the flick. Previous Sony movies, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and No Hard Feelings, were restricted to these more expensive plans due to licensing agreements.
How to watch Anyone But You from anywhere with a VPN
Perhaps you’re traveling abroad and want to stream Netflix while away from home. With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the movie from anywhere in the world. There are other good reasons to use a VPN for streaming, too.
A VPN is the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds by encrypting your traffic. Using a VPN is also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Streaming TV can be a bit smoother with a reliable, quality VPN that’s passed our tests and security standards.
You can use a VPN to stream content legally as long as VPNs are legal in your country and you have a valid subscription to the streaming service you’re using. The US and Canada are among the countries where VPNs are legal, but we advise against streaming or downloading content on illegal torrent sites. We recommend ExpressVPN, but you may opt for another provider from our best list such as Surfshark or NordVPN.
Follow the VPN provider’s instructions for installation and choose a country where Anyone But You is streaming on Netflix. Before you open the streaming app, make sure you’re connected to your VPN using your selected region. If you want to stream the rom-com on more than one device, it’s possible you’ll need to configure each one to ensure you are signed in. Go to settings and check your network connections to verify you’re logged in and connected to your VPN account. Now you’re ready to open Netflix to stream.
If you run into issues with streaming, first make sure your VPN is up and running on its encrypted IP address. Double-check that you’ve followed installation instructions correctly and you’ve picked the right geographical area for viewing. If you still encounter connection problems, you may need to reboot your device. Close all apps and windows, restart your device and connect to your VPN first. Note that some streaming services have restrictions on VPN access.
It’s happened a few times before. I’m in the middle of nowhere, out in the wilderness, trying to get a cell signal, but I’m having no luck. I see that my phone says SOS in the corner, which means I don’t have service, but can make emergency calls if needed.
However, this isn’t an emergency. I just want to be able to use my phone to use my maps or quickly Google something.
Eventually, I make my way back to civilization, to a place where I should definitely have service, but for some reason, I still don’t. That pesky SOS is still in the corner of my screen, and no matter how high I raise my iPhone to the sky, I still can’t get access to the internet.
What gives?
In this story, we’ll take a look at what Emergency SOS via Satellite is and what you can do when your iPhone gets stuck in Emergency SOS mode. Here’s what you need to know.
While you’re here, check out how to use Emergency SOS via Satellite to contact 911 and how to prevent your iPhone from automatically calling 911.
What exactly is Emergency SOS via Satellite?
Patrick Holland has a pretty great explainer on the Emergency SOS via Satellite feature, which you can check out here. In short, Emergency SOS via Satellite is a feature on the iPhone 14 and later that allows you to get in contact with emergency services and share your location with them, even if you don’t have cellular network service.
Whenever you don’t have cellular service or Wi-Fi, you’ll see an SOS in the corner of your iPhone, indicating that you can use Emergency SOS via Satellite to get emergency help.
Note: There’s also Emergency SOS on every iPhone, and while this feature does call your local emergency number and share your location information with emergency services, it requires you to have service. It’s not the same as Emergency SOS via Satellite.
So what’s the problem?
Once your iPhone loses service and is in Emergency SOS mode, your device might have trouble finding your network, even if you’re back in an area that has service. You might notice that someone else in the area has service while you don’t, or vice versa. Luckily, there are various ways to tackle this issue.

What to do if you’re stuck in Emergency SOS mode
According to Apple, if you see “SOS” or “SOS only” in the status bar, you can do the following to help your device find a cellular network:
Make sure that you’re in an area with cellular network coverage. You can check in with people around you who have service, while you don’t.
Turn your cellular data off and on. Go to Settings > Cellular and turn Cellular Data off and back on.
Restart your iPhone. On the iPhone X and later, hold either of the volume buttons and the side button until the power off slider appears, and then drag the slider. Wait 30 seconds and then press and hold down on the side button to turn your iPhone back on. If you have an older iPhone model, here’s how to restart it.
Check for a carrier settings update. Your carrier may send out a carrier settings update to improve your cellular network connectivity and performance. As long as you’re connected to the internet, go to Settings > General > About and check to see if there is an update available.
Turn your cellular line off and on. Go to Settings > Cellular > your phone number and turn your cellular line off and on. If you’re not using an eSIM, remove the SIM card from your phone and put it back in.
Update your iPhone. If the software has a bug, it may be causing issues with your cellular service. To check for a software update, go to Settings > General > Software Update. You’ll need internet for this to work, so Wi-Fi would be your only option if you can’t connect to cellular.
Reset your network settings. WARNING: this will reset all your Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings and VPN settings, so only do this if you’ve tried all of the above first. If you’re fine with that, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset NetworkSettings.
Lastly, if network connection issues persist, Apple suggests contacting your phone carrier in case there are issues with your carrier or account that could be affecting your service, like outages in your area or an unpaid account.
If you’re traveling internationally, and get stuck on SOS when you arrive, make sure that data roaming is enabled. You can go to Settings > Cellular > your phone number and toggle on Data Roaming.

Lately, I’ve developed a habit I’m not proud of. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or anxious, my immediate instinct is to reach for my phone, open up TikTok and find solace in mindless videos offering comic relief or a temporary escape from reality. I suspect this impulse to flee to my device is a common one.
It’s enjoyable in the moment, as I’m scrolling through videos that keenly tap into my interest areas. But once it’s time to put down my phone, reality sets in. The weight of the time I’ve wasted, along with the problem that still stands poised before me, waiting to be tackled, overshadows any temporary high.

As our lives have shifted increasingly online, it’s no secret that our dependence on smartphones has also escalated. But this can lead to unhealthy behaviors, like endlessly scrolling through social media or remaining glued to our tiny screens for hours on end. Around 57% of Americans say they’re addicted to their phones, according to a 2023 survey by Reviews.org. Additionally, Americans spend an average of 4 hours and 25 minutes on their mobile devices each day – an increase of 30% over 2022, the study found.
That sense of reliance can create a harmful, somewhat paradoxical relationship with our devices. A Pew Research survey from March found that 72% of US teens say they feel “peaceful” when they don’t have their smartphone, while 44% say it makes them anxious. These feelings aren’t limited to teenagers; as a 30-year-old who finds herself reaching for her phone far too often, and feeling a mixture of relief and unease when I’m without it, I wholeheartedly relate.
“Phones have become like a security blanket,” says psychologist Carder Stout. If someone who’s more introverted walks into a restaurant and is waiting for a friend, for instance, they might feel anxious or uncomfortable and instinctively reach for their phone.
“All of a sudden, when they start scrolling, they feel safe,” Stout adds. “They feel this sense that they’re connected to something, whether it’s texting another friend or looking at social media.”
Incessant scrolling can also be a procrastination tool. You might immerse yourself in social media to avoid a task or for a temporary reprieve from whatever’s on your mind.
“It’s just so easy to turn on your phone and look at something else to distract yourself,” says clinical psychologist Paul Losoff. “Over time, your brain starts to recognize that this feels good…That’s where some may argue that it’s the same thing as an addictive process where your brain just craves more and more of it.”
Each notification or social media “like” can offer a hit of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that gives feelings of pleasure. Ginger Pennington, an associate professor of psychology at Northwestern University, compares the experience of scrolling through social media to “retail therapy.”
“We just want some kind of emotional fix to feel good,” she notes. “And if making a little purchase makes us feel good, or getting a little sound bite off TikTok or a little funny video will make us feel good – it’s just seeking that mental, psychological, emotional reward.”
It doesn’t help that apps are “designed to tap into our addictive tendencies,” as Joseph Trunzo, psychology professor at Bryant University, puts it. Along with dopamine hits from high-performing posts, platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels use unpredictability to keep us scrolling. Not every video will make you laugh or resonate with you, so you might keep scrolling until you find one that does. Constantly thinking that next gem is just within reach makes it harder to put down your phone, Pennington says. And once you come across that great video, there’s more of an incentive to keep scrolling to find the next one.
“There are so many ways these platforms are being engineered to play on our psychology,” says Juliana Schroeder, an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley, “and keep our eyeballs on the screen.”
The effects of endless scrolling
Being glued to your phone can not only impact memory (remember when you could memorize a phone number?) and focus, but it can also take a toll on real-life relationships. If everyone has their phones out while at dinner, for example, that can diminish the quality of time spent together.
“Humans aren’t well set up to multitask in that way,” Schroeder says. “It takes away the focus from offline interactions.”
There’s an understandably heightened focus on screen time’s impact on younger, more vulnerable minds that are still developing. Instagram caused outrage among child advocates when it shared plans in 2021 to launch a platform for kids under 13 – an effort that the company ultimately put on hold. And its parent company Meta (then Facebook) came under fire after its own researchers found Instagram is “harmful for a sizable percentage” of young users, particularly teenage girls.
Competitor TikTok has also faced its fair share of criticism for surfacing harmful content. And while the app’s “For You” feed does an excellent job of pinpointing users’ interests, I can confirm it also does a great job of ensnaring you for hours on end. Its streamlined interface is designed to keep you scrolling.
Android and iOS have screen time tools to help you mitigate time spent on your favorite apps. Social media companies have also introduced safety and mental health measures to curb criticism, like hiding likes on Instagram or limiting teens’ screen time on TikTok by default. A TikTok spokesperson noted the company uses a combination of technologies and moderation teams to pinpoint and remove content that violates its community guidelines, and has well-being tools like a screen time dashboard that summarizes how long someone’s spent on the app. But some say it’s not enough.
“They can tell us all day long that they’re not doing anything nefarious, or they’re trying to minimize harm to kids,” says Losoff. “And while they may believe that, and while they may be taking steps, they’re still trying to get kids’ eyeballs on the screen for longer.”
These concerns about the effects of modern-day technology aren’t novel; they’ve existed since the advent of radio and television. But our collective obsession with our phones and social media differs in a key way: “We’re not with our TV set all day long,” Pennington notes. Social media companies have also found ways to serve us personalized content in ways traditional media never could, using algorithms and by tracking our behavior, like whether we click on an ad or how long we watch a video.
“Before, a phone was just a phone, and now it’s a mini computer that’s more easy to use and accessible than any real computer,” says Sheehan Fisher, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University. “It’s almost something that’s learning you better than you know yourself.”
How to break your endless scrolling habit
So what can you do if, like me, you want to spend less time on your phone? Here’s what experts suggest.
Don’t use your phone as your alarm. Get a physical alarm clock, so that your phone isn’t the last thing you see before you go to sleep and the first thing you check when you wake up. I can confirm it’s a slippery slope; once I set or turn off my phone alarm, it’s easy to check TikTok or Instagram, and I ultimately end up spending more time staring at a screen than I anticipated.
If you want to take things a step further, you can even leave your phone in a separate room, as CNET mobile reporter David Lumb did to improve his sleep. Doing so could eliminate the temptation to check it as you drift off. And when you wake up in the morning, you won’t be able to reach over and start your day by scrolling through TikTok videos (guilty!).
You can also set designated days to be fully unplugged, like Sundays, suggests Losoff. Put your phone away and have a screen time detox.
If that sounds too challenging, you can do what my colleague Jessica Fierro suggests and utilize Focus modes on your iPhone or Android phone. You can create custom settings to silence or allow certain notifications during designated times. For example, you can set a focus mode for work and select which people and apps to receive notifications from. That way, I can get calls and texts from my mom, but block pings from Instagram or TikTok that could distract me.
You can also go into your phone’s settings and turn on grayscale mode to make looking at typically colorful posts less appealing. However, Schroeder notes those features “don’t seem to work that well, because they’re so annoying that people don’t stick with them.”
And while I’m still on this journey of limiting screen time, I’ve found it helps to delete apps I don’t want to use as much, like X (formerly Twitter), and to remove others from my home screen to tap into the “out of sight, out of mind” approach. That extends to work-related apps like Slack, so I have less reason to check my phone or be lured by yet another notification badge on my home screen. In fact, Stout recommends only working from a computer when you’re at home, to create separation between your professional and personal life and make it easier to focus on quality time with loved ones. In other words, don’t multitask by sending emails from your phone while having a conversation with your kids or eating dinner.
“Your work time is your work time, and your social time or your time with family then becomes something else,” Stout says. “But you’re not doing them simultaneously.”
I’ve also been making an effort to bring a book or Kindle with me wherever I go, so if I’m waiting at a restaurant or on the train, I can focus on something that can’t get notifications to read instead of mindlessly scrolling.
Stout says it comes down to setting realistic goals so you don’t feel unmotivated or despondent if you can’t give up scrolling cold turkey. If you spend two hours on social media, cut it down to one hour. After some time, you might find that you can cut that down to half an hour.
“You want to set achievable goals for yourself, and ones that work for you,” he says. “Ones that ultimately are going to make you feel good and give you self esteem, which is, ‘You know what, I set that goal and I achieved it, and I feel really good about myself.’”
17 Hidden iOS 17 Features You Should Definitely Know About
I am very much a part of the Apple ecosystem. I’ve used MacBooks, iPads and the iPhone for over a decade. But somehow, I’ve never tried the Apple Watch, that is, until now. Why not? Well, I was happy with checking the time and how many steps I walked per day on my iPhone. But I didn’t realize the breadth of additional data the Apple Watch could offer about my workouts, sleeping habits and more. Plus, I’ve been trying to become less reliant on my smartphone. So I wore a cellular Apple Watch Series 9 for a week to see if it could help me spend less time scrolling on my iPhone and more time practicing self-care (Watch the video above to see what my first week with the Apple Watch Series 9 looked like.)
Before I started using the Series 9, my daily average iPhone screen time was 9 hours, 3 minutes — i.e. much higher than I would’ve liked it to be. I’ve been trying to reduce that number. So last month, I replaced my iPhone 15 Pro Max with a Nokia flip phone and while that did lower my screen time, it also made me anxious. I would compare my iPhone to an adult pacifier that I subconsciously reach for when I’m stressed or bored. So cutting it out of my life was difficult for me, hence the anxiety that came with temporarily adopting the flip phone.
I wanted to try a cellular Apple Watch because it covers a lot of the key functions of my smartphone. You can use it to call, text, listen to music on Spotify, access your cards with Apple Pay and navigate with Maps, even if your iPhone isn’t around. So I was hoping it would make me use my 15 Pro Max less, without having to get rid of it entirely.
In light of that goal, after I set up my Apple Watch, I went on a walk without my smartphone. You’ll have to read to the end of this article to find out what my screen time was after my first week with the Series 9, but I will say, that initial walk without my 15 Pro Max was kind of life-changing.
The cellular Series 9 is a game-changer for outdoor walks
I usually bring my iPhone on walks to stay connected to friends and family and to listen to music. Using a Series 9 with cellular made me realize I don’t need my smartphone for those things; I can do them all on my watch. While it initially felt weird to leave my phone at home, I didn’t miss it once I was walking. I’ve actually come to prefer walks without my iPhone. I’m so much more present when I don’t even have the option to scroll on my socials. The 15 Pro Max is heavy, so it’s very nice to not have to carry it around.
Speaking into my watch on phone calls kind of makes me feel like a cool spy. I like to use my AirPods when I’m out in a noisy environment because it’s easier for me to hear the other person, and vice-versa.
Messaging on the Apple Watch isn’t my fave (but I still appreciate that I can do it at all)
The Series 9 has a new feature called Double Tap where you touch your pointer finger and thumb together twice on the hand you’re wearing your watch on. You can use it to do things like responding to a message or answering a call without touching the device. On my first day wearing the watch, my CNET colleague, Abrar Al-Heeti, sent me a Slack message to ask if I wanted to take a coffee break. I used Double Tap to reply with dictation.
Messaging is where I use Double Tap the most. Still, I don’t find myself making this gesture often, simply because I’m not used to it yet. Maybe that’ll change over time.
As you can see, I wasn’t great at dictation at first (I accidentally said “send” aloud so it was included in my response to Abrar). And although I’ve gotten better at it, I still don’t love using it. Dictation inserts a lot of periods, which makes my messages sound more serious than intended.
I also don’t love pecking at the keyboard to type, because the Apple Watch screen is pretty tiny. I think the easiest way to compose a message is by continuously moving my finger from letter to letter on the keyboard. Even this method doesn’t always result in perfect messages, so I still prefer texting on my iPhone if it’s around. I appreciate that the Apple Watch allows me to see and reply to important messages even when my iPhone isn’t around. It’s also worth mentioning that I have a 41-millimeter Apple Watch because my wrist is small, but there’s a 45-millimeter option that’s probably easier to type on.
I love having Apple Pay, Spotify and Maps on my wrist
I really appreciate that the Apple Watch allows me to pay for stuff without having my wallet or phone with me. I also love that I can listen to music on Spotify. I do wish the watch version had a search bar. If I’m on my Apple Watch, I can only choose from songs in my library or songs Spotify recommends to me, but sometimes I want to listen to something totally random. (Yes, I’m team Spotify; sorry Apple Music.)
If you read my last story on my Nokia flip phone journey, you know I don’t have a great sense of direction. Having Maps on my Apple Watch was very helpful. I never got used to the haptics telling me when to turn, so I just read the instructions on-screen. That didn’t bother me: I was just happy to have those directions, especially when going for walks without my phone.
I had so much confidence in my cellular Apple Watch that I even went to a concert without my iPhone. While I was more present, I wouldn’t do that again. I briefly lost my friend in the crowd and it would have been so much easier to call and text her on my smartphone. I couldn’t type my messages to her as quickly as I would’ve liked to on that tiny screen. Because I forgot my AirPods, it was pretty hard for us to hear each other on a call above the noise of the crowd.
I get the hype around closing those Activity rings
I’ve been hearing my Apple Watch friends talk about closing their Activity rings for years, and now I get it. While I was very enthusiastic about getting active on my first day with the Series 9 watch, by day two, I was tired and didn’t want to leave the house. My watch encouraging me to close those rings inspired me to get up and walk anyway. Once I was walking, I didn’t regret it. The fresh air and movement did make me feel so much better.
While I already have workouts I like to follow on YouTube, I tried a Fitness Plus core workout and loved the Apple Watch integration. I appreciated that when I started the Fitness Plus video on my iPhone, it automatically began tracking the workout on my Apple Watch. I loved that I could pause the video (and workout) from my watch, too.
I really only use my Series 9 to see how close I am to closing my rings and, occasionally, how many steps I’ve taken. To a first-time smartwatch user like me, the breadth of data the Apple Watch tracks is impressive (e.g. flights climbed, humidity during an outdoor walk, and so on). As I continue to incorporate fitness into my life, I’m interested to see if I’ll dig into this data more. While there are plenty of smartwatches out there that track the same stats as the Apple Watch (or more), the data I get with the Series 9 is still impressive to a newcomer like me.
I also liked the Mindfulness app, which encourages you to take a moment to breathe, reflect and record how you’re feeling. The activities are short, but they’re enough to take a beat and really check in with myself.
I even tried a 20-minute gratitude meditation through Fitness Plus. It was surprisingly hard; I kept getting distracted and having to bring myself back to the focus of the meditation. Afterwards, my mind felt so much clearer. I’ve been meaning to meditate for years, and the Apple Watch finally gave me the motivation to do it.
Once I realized movement and mindfulness were making me feel physically and mentally better, I was on a roll… At least, until the Sunday scaries hit (and I didn’t wear my watch or leave the house). Did I close my Activity rings and practice mindfulness every day? Definitely not, but the Apple Watch did encourage me to do those things for the first time in a while, and for that, I’m grateful for this device. This watch has inspired me to continue incorporating these practices into my routine until they become a consistent part of it.
My newest pet peeve is forgetting to start my workout. The Apple Watch does have automatic workout detection that kicks in after a certain amount of time so you get credit towards your rings. During this challenge, I realized my walks start at a very leisurely pace, and it took about 30 minutes for the watch to detect I was working out. That’s a me problem, not an Apple Watch issue, so I need to get better about starting those Outdoor Walk workouts as soon as I leave the house.
Sleep tracking makes me want to get closer to 8 hours of shut-eye a night
I have insomnia and have never tried sleep tracking before. As such, I was very interested to see what my Apple Watch had to say about my sleep. I only tracked my slumber for three days and there are two reasons why. First, sleeping with a watch on is kind of uncomfortable. Second, sleep tracking doesn’t happen automatically. You have to do a few things first, including setting a Sleep Schedule and a Sleep Focus Mode in the Health app on your iPhone.
I didn’t realize this until halfway through my first week with the Apple Watch, which is my bad, so I missed some data. When I did track my sleep with the watch, I realized I wasn’t getting a full eight hours. I was close, but not quite there yet, which motivates me to keep working to improve my sleep patterns.
The Apple Watch tracks so much more than how many hours you slept. For example, you can see how much time you spend in sleep stages like REM sleep and deep sleep. I’m excited to dive deeper into this data and examine my sleeping trends over time. The Apple Watch isn’t the only smartwatch with sleep tracking. Most modern smartwatches offer this, and can even measure the quality of your sleep, not just the quantity.
I normally put my watch on around 10 a.m. and after a busy day of calling, texting, listening to music, working out and navigating — often on my watch’s cellular connectivity — I’d be running low on battery by around 10 or 11 p.m. So I’d charge the watch for about 30 minutes before bed for sleep tracking. I’d juice it back to 100% while I was getting ready the next morning. The Apple Watch charges up pretty quickly from my laptop, so having to do it daily wasn’t a pain point for me. On days when I’m not relying as much on my watch’s cellular connectivity, I can wait about a day and a half before needing to plug it in again.
Thank you to my Apple Watch for encouraging me to take better care of myself
Did the Apple Watch reduce my screen time? Unfortunately, no. My screen time increased by 13% during my first week with my watch. How could that be? Well, while it lowered my screen time when I was out on walks (and at that concert), the Apple Watch didn’t change the way I interacted with my smartphone at home. I still have my iPhone next to me all day, and I’m still inclined to reach for it and scroll on social media (more specifically, TikTok) whenever I’m anxious or bored. To make progress towards decreasing my screen time, I’ll need to go straight to the source: my iPhone (and yes, TikTok).
Here’s the contrast: While the Apple Watch hasn’t reduced my iPhone screen time, it has transformed my relationship with self-care. It motivated me to consistently exercise and practice mindfulness for the first time in a long time. Now, I’m starting to incorporate these things into my routine and, ultimately, prioritize my physical and mental health so much more. That is huge for me.
I know that wearing an Apple Watch for a week only allows me to scratch the surface of what it can do. I’m still wearing it now (it’s been three weeks) and I’m learning more and more about how I like to use it each day. I’ve updated my watch face so I have easy access to my Activity rings, Spotify, my workouts, phone and messages since those are the things I currently use most. I just tested the Camera Remote app to frame selfies taken with my iPhone’s rear camera more easily (this is a game-changer if you haven’t tried it), and I ordered a new watch band that matches my gold jewelry. I can’t wait to see how the Apple Watch continues to become a part of my life as I keep wearing it.

What are the best bone-conduction headphones overall?
Bone-conduction headphones continue to increase in popularity — particularly for runners and bikers — as Shokz, the leading maker of bone-conduction headphones, has made incremental improvements to their design, performance and sound quality over the years. The company’s current top-of-the-line OpenRun Pro is the best bone-conduction headphone, although it may be a little too pricey for some people.
While bone-conduction headphones are lacking in the bass department (unless you plug up your ears with the included foam earplugs), they’re appealing for a few reasons. First, since they deliver sound to your ear through your cheekbones, you don’t have ear tips jammed into your ears. And thanks to their open design, you can hear what’s going on around you — traffic noise in particular — while listening to music or having a phone conversation. Also, some race coordinators don’t allow runners to wear anything in their ears, which is where headphones like this come in handy.
You may notice that there are only Shokz products on this list. That’s because they’re currently the best option. We’ve tested other bone conduction headphones — you can find plenty of inexpensive generic models on Amazon — but we’ve always come away feeling you’re better off buying Shokz’ entry-level OpenMove headphones than any of those.
Here’s a look at the top models. I’ll update this list a new bone-conduction headphones are released.
The OpenRun Pro are Shokz’ current top-of-the-line bone conduction headphones. Featuring ninth-generation bone-conduction headphones, they offer slightly improved bass performance compared to the company’s earlier flagship model, the Aeropex (now called the Shokz OpenRun). That makes the OpenRun Pro the best bone-conduction headphones you can get right now, although they still can’t match the sound quality of traditional headphones.
The OpenRun Pro have a lightweight, wraparound titanium frame and are rated for up to 10 hours of music playback and you can get 1.5 hours of battery life from a 5-minute charge (they have a proprietary charging cable instead of USB-C, which is unfortunate). I found them comfortable to wear, but you may occasionally have to adjust them on your head to relieve potential pressure points. While they do offer a bit fuller sound with more bass — it’s an incremental improvement, not a huge leap forward — like other bone-conduction headphones these are strongest in the midrange where voices live so they’re very good for podcasts, talk radio, newscasts and audiobooks. A hard carrying case is included as well as foam ear tips that you can jam into your ears to get better bass performance (most people use those tips sparingly).
Unlike Shokz’ higher-end models, the OpenMove doesn’t have as sleek a design. Nor does it feature its latest bone-conduction technology (it’s equipped with its seventh-generation technology with its PremiumPitch 2.0 sound). But these headphones do sound and perform better than other budget-priced bone-conduction headphones out there. In other words, while they’re a step down from both the OpenRun and OpenRun Pro, they’re still decent bone-conduction headphones that fit securely and comfortably (they just weigh a little more). Note that their price occasionally dips to as low as $55 during flash sales.
A few years ago, Shokz turned its OpenRun (formerly Aeropex) bone-conduction headphones into a more communications-friendly headset with an integrated boom microphone called the OpenComm ($160), which remains available. The second-generation OpenComm 2 UC costs more than the original, but features an upgraded Bluetooth 5.1 chipset that improves performance a bit and now allows for the firmware upgrades that are required for Zoom certification. Additionally, the microphone has moved from the left ear to the right and a convenient mute button has been added to the boom microphone — an important addition.
Since these leave your ears open — the sound is conducted through your cheekbone — they aren’t for people who want to seal their ears out from outside noise. Rather, the idea is that you can hear everything around you without having anything covering your ears or jammed inside them. The headset is quite comfortable to wear. Some folks find that liberating and these do feature excellent noise reduction for calls, as callers told me they heard very little background noise even when I was out on the noisy streets of New York.
While the Shokz are arguably the best-sounding bone-conduction headphones, they aren’t great-sounding for music because they’re lacking in the bass department. However, they’re great for speech, so they work very well as a headset for making calls and listening to podcasts or audiobooks. These also have multipoint-Bluetooth pairing, so you can pair them with your phone and PC and easily switch to your phone if a call comes in while you’re on your computer. And they come with either a USB-A or USB-C wireless dongle (you choose) that you plug into your computer for quick and reliable wireless connectivity.
As long as you don’t mind the boom microphone, you can use the OpenComm 2 for sporting activities as well and are favorites for runners who want to keep their ears open to hear the outside world for safety reasons. They’re also water-resistant. The only downside is they require a proprietary charging cable instead of USB-C. Battery life is rated at 16 hours of talk time and 8 hours of listening.
Released in 2021, the Shokz OpenRun is based on the company’s former top-of-the-line bone-conduction model, the Aeropex. The OpenRun’s design is the same as the Aeropex, but the headphone has been upgraded with a quick-charge feature and Bluetooth 5.1. It features eighth-generation bone-conduction technology instead of the ninth-generation technology found in the step-up OpenRun Pro (that OpenRun Pro has slightly better sound quality). The Pro also has slightly better battery at up to 10 hours versus the 8 hours for this model. That said, the OpenRun is fully waterproof and dust-proof with an IP67 rating while the Pro has an IP55 rating, which means it’s dust-resistant and can deal with a sustained spray of water.
Overall, the Pro does feature a slightly better design and performance, but it’s not a huge difference (maybe 10% to 15% better) and the OpenRun does cost $50 less.
The OpenRun Mini is just the OpenRun headphones with a shorter neckband. The OpenRun Mini has a .83 inch shorter band size than OpenRun and Shokz says that if the back of your head’s measurement from the left to the right ear is 9.25 inches or less, the Mini is your better choice.
The Shokz OpenSwim is a rebranded version of AfterShokz Xtrainerz (yes, OpenSwim is much better name). This model is equipped with Shokz seventh-generation bone conduction technology, so it’s not going to sound as good as the OpenRun Pro, which uses ninth-generation technology, but you’re probably not going to be doing any critical listening while swimming (most people are just looking for passable sound while swimming underwater). Note that these don’t feature Bluetooth for wireless listening (Bluetooth doesn’t transmit underwater). They have 4GB of onboard storage for playback of MP3 files that you have to load onto the headphones like an old-school MP3 player.
The OpenSwim offer up to hours of battery life and are obviously fully waterproof with an IP68 rating.

CNET’s expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise.
As the summer months draw closer, it’s time to start making your plans for the year. It’s natural to want to document your adventures to share with your friends back home and strangers online. Whether it’s a trip to Disneyland, a long road trip, or a visit to a National Park or three, having a good camera setup is crucial in capturing those precious memories.
When it comes to camera gear, you can end up spending a lot of money, but you don’t have to. You can do a few things to improve the quality of your photos and videos. These include finding the right settings for your camera, as well as picking the right accessories for your camera setup. The key is knowing how to use the camera, regardless of its price. I’m a travel photographer and I even end up using my phone sometimes to get a quick shot.
Here are a few options at different prices. One of these should fit your trip and budget perfectly.
Believe it or not, your phone might be all you need. If you know it’s not, feel free to keep reading. Honestly, modern mid- and high-end phones take excellent photos and videos. Or at least, take excellent photos of a certain kind. The majority of phones have fairly wide-angle lenses, so you can take great group shots and landscapes, but that far-off bison is going to look really tiny.
For most people, and in most situations, a phone really is all you’ll need. Get to know a few basics about how it works (tap the screen to change the exposure), and you’ll be good to go.
If you’ve got an older phone and you’re not happy with the pictures it takes, but you aren’t sure if you want to spend money on a dedicated camera, consider a new phone. I’m partial to Google Pixels myself, but CNET has lots of Android and Apple recommendations.
Add-on lenses for your phone aren’t a substitute for a real camera, and even in the best case could reduce the quality of the image. They will let you get photos that otherwise wouldn’t be possible with just the phone’s camera and its built-in lenses. A slight reduction in quality, which may or may not be noticeable when posted to social media, could be worth it.
The idea of these is you mount an additional lens on top of your phone camera. Together they act as if you had an entirely different phone camera.
CNET checked out Moment lenses a few years ago, and their current 58mm telephoto lens is what I’d recommend checking out. This won’t get you quite as close to the action as a “real” telephoto lens, nor does it offer the reach of the telephoto cameras on some highest-end phones. However, it will get you a lot closer to the action than the wide main camera on most phones.
There are wide-angle versions of these add-on lenses, as well. I love a good wide-angle lens, but most phone cameras have a panorama mode that will do the same for free, at least for photos. That method won’t work for videos. If you want an additional lens, go for it, but I think for most people the tele will get you photos not otherwise possible.
Keep in mind, that you’ll also need to get one of Moment’s phone cases to connect the lens.
The latest GoPro is the Hero 11 Black, but for most people, I still recommend last year’s Hero 10 Black. It’s a little cheaper, but nearly as good as the newer 11. It can record 5.3K video at 60 frames per second, for ultradetailed, ultrasmooth videos. It can also take 23MP pictures. Even better, it’s rugged, easy to use and waterproof to a depth of 33 feet.
There are also an infinite number of mounts and accessories available not just online, but at hotel gift shops, dive centers, electronic stores — really pretty much everywhere. If you lose a battery or want a new mount, they’re easy to find.
The only downside, other than the price, is its wide-angle lens. You won’t get those cool up-close images of wildlife or anything in the distance. For most adventures this is fine, but going on safari, or hiking where there are lots of cool wild animals, the footage might not be as compelling as if you had a real camera with a zoom. More on those below.
The GoPro Hero 11 Black’s biggest change over its predecessor is a new, more square, image sensor. This allows you to record higher-resolution vertical videos without turning the camera. The benefit is that you can record everything with the camera in one position, and then while editing, crop vertical for TikTok and Instagram, or crop horizontal for YouTube or more traditional aspect ratios. With previous GoPros you would have to choose the intended orientation before you shot, limiting the quality if you wanted to use the footage in the other orientation.
If this doesn’t make any sense to you, or you don’t care about the video quality when you cross-post between social media platforms that prefer vertical or horizontal, the Hero 10 Black mentioned above is probably fine and will save you a bit of money.
For certain types of photos, you actually do need a real camera. There’s only so far you can “zoom in” with a standard phone camera. Fortunately, even inexpensive point-and-shoot cameras typically have some amount of optical zoom.
Optical zoom is what you want; don’t be fooled by any “digital zoom” spec. Digital zoom is not a zoom at all. It’s merely cropping the photo and then scaling it up. You can’t “zoom and enhance” with your device, despite what every movie and TV show would lead you to believe. At least, not with any quality.
Because cameras overall have become less popular, and more specialized, since the advent of the “cameraphone” there are fewer inexpensive options. Expect to pay somewhere between the cost of a GoPro and a big interchangeable lens camera. Most also shoot video, so you don’t also need a GoPro unless you were specifically doing action-type of sports, anything in or around water — that kind of thing.
I like the as it’s small enough to fit in your pocket, has a reasonable zoom (70mm equivalent), and has a screen that can pivot out so you can see yourself. If you want something with a bit more zoom, the offers similar features, with a 100mm equivalent lens. There are a lot of options, but if you start considering cameras over $1,000 it’s worth considering an interchangeable lens camera instead.
If you really want to go all-out, at the top of the camera food chain are interchangeable lens cameras. Historically, these were called SLRs or DSLRs, but increasingly the top-end cameras are what’s called “mirrorless,” in that they lack the mirror found in all SLR/DSLRs. This allows them to be more compact, along with some other features we don’t have space to discuss. Suffice it to say, interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras are the future, DSLRs are on their way out.
The main benefit of both, though, is the ability to use a variety of lenses. Want a superzoom lens that has a wide-angle and telephoto in one package? Lots of options. Want an ultrasharp prime lens? Tons. Want an epic telephoto to see the hair on a llama’s back at 1 mile? Lots of those, too.
Generally, you can think of these cameras in two categories: full frame, and crop. Full frame cameras are called that as their image sensors are the same size as 35mm film. Crop sensors are smaller. The difference, for most people, isn’t huge. There are more lens options and usually better picture quality with full-frame cameras, but they’re also more expensive. For beginners, crop cameras are just fine. I used one professionally for years, though last year I upgraded to a and I’m glad I did. Unless you absolutely know what you’re doing, don’t spend thousands of dollars on any camera.
At the entry-level end of the spectrum, and since I’m a Canon guy, there’s the . It takes 24.1MP photos, 4K24 video and has a swing-out screen. More importantly, you’ll have a huge range of lenses available once you learn how to use the camera and figure out what you want. In the meantime, the linked kit comes with two basic lenses, one wide zoom and one telephoto zoom. It also comes with what is almost certainly a bad tripod, some filters and a bunch of questionably useful-in-the-long-term accessories. As a starter pack, it’s great. If this specific kit disappears, there are always a bunch of options on Amazon, look for one that has both the 18-55mm wide zoom and the 75-300mm telephoto kit lenses.

There are many enduring mysteries to the human condition: Why are we here? Who made the universe? And, most importantly, could the Mona Lisa rap?
Microsoft has announced a new artificial intelligence technology called VASA-1, which can turn a photo of someone’s face and a short clip of their voice into a lifelike computer-powered video. And thanks to this breakthrough, the company was able to create a lifelike video of Leonardo da Vinci’s famed painting, the Mona Lisa, performing actress Anne Hathaway’s viral 2011 rap, Paparazzi.
Microsoft just dropped VASA-1.

Microsoft’s video is the latest example of the rapid advances that tech companies are making with AI tools, though a rapping Mona Lisa arguably straddles the line between quirky and creepy.
The software giant’s new technology is far from the only use of AI to interpret and experience art, or the broader world of media. Microsoft partner startup OpenAI, for instance, has created similarly eye-catching videos through its text-to-video model, Sora, which can create ultra-realistic videos from text prompts. Google has a similar tool called Lumiere.
Those tools are in limited availability. As for AI tools you can use every day, be sure to check out CNET’s hands-on reviews of the image generators in Adobe Firefly, OpenAI’s Dall-E 3 and Google’s ImageFX, along with reviews of chatbots including ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.
From deepfake to reality
Microsoft’s technology may seem like nothing new. Researchers have been showing off shockingly lifelike video manipulations for years, often calling them deepfakes. Some of the most impressive deepfakes have included the one from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which in 2019 used AI technology to make President Richard Nixon appear to give a speech he’d never actually delivered.
Experts have expressed increasing concern that deepfakes could be used to spread disinformation.
Those concerns haven’t stopped app developers from providing effectively a basic version of what Microsoft has developed. Such apps have become so popular that cybersecurity researchers warn that photographs people upload may be used to help advance the technology without the owner or subject’s consent.
Microsoft is hopeful these technologies could do more good than harm.
“While acknowledging the possibility of misuse, it’s imperative to recognize the substantial positive potential of our technique,” the company wrote in a blog post announcing VASA-1. “The benefits – such as enhancing educational equity, improving accessibility for individuals with communication challenges, offering companionship or therapeutic support to those in need, among many others – underscore the importance of our research and other related explorations.”
Microsoft added that it is “dedicated to developing AI responsibly, with the goal of advancing human well-being.”

Just because you have a set phone plan and have had your phone for a certain amount of time doesn’t mean you can’t change your number. If you’re looking to get your phone number changed to a different one, whether to dodge spam calls, update your area code, or whatever other reason, you have a few ways to get it updated. Some of these solutions will be the same regardless of your carrier, and some you will need to reach out to your specific provider to implement.
How to Change Your Phone Number
Your number and all of your service is connected to your provider through something called a SIM card. Depending on the age and make of your phone you may have a physical SIM card. If you do, you can order a new one and replace the one in your phone once you receive the new one. Many newer phones have done away with physical cards and replaced them with eSIMs. For example, iPhones have been doing this since the iPhone 14. In this case, you will need to go through your service provider.
Each service provider has their own process for contacting them about changing your number. We have outlined the process of some of the most popular providers. It is important to know your voicemails may not be able to be transferred to your new number, so make sure to get them saved before switching.
Changing Your AT&T Number
To get your number changed at AT&T there is a $36 fee unless you’ve activated your service within the last 30 days. You can change your number online by logging into your account. Once you’re logged in select ‘Manage wireless’ to select your phone. Within the menu for your phone, you’ll need to open the ‘My wireless device options’ menu to get to ‘Change my number’. If you would like someone to do it for you, you can always contact AT&T customer service and have them change it for you.
Changing Your Google Fi Number
Before you can begin a number change with Google Fi, you will need to make sure your account doesn’t have any balance but there aren’t any fees for your number change at any time. Once you’re all paid up, you can reach out to the Google Fi Wireless Help team online and ask to change your number. It’s worth keeping in mind that your old number will be given to someone else in this case and you aren’t guaranteed to get your same area code.
Changing Your Mint Mobile Number
With Mint Mobile, you will need to reach out to their help center to change your number. You can either chat with them online or call 800-683-7392 between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. PST. When calling you will want to select the technical issue option followed by help with service. An eSIM can be used for $15/month more in place of the physical SIM and a new number can be activated with this as long as your phone is compatible. Otherwise, there are no fees to change your number.
Changing Your TextNow Number
If you’re a TextNow customer, changing your number is very easy. All you have to do is open the TextNow app and go into settings. Under ‘Account’ you will find ‘TextNow Number’ where you select the three dots on the top right and ‘Release Number’. They have a video on YouTube outlining their process. Be sure you’re ready to change your number as you cannot get your old one back.
Changing Your T-Mobile Number
Although it isn’t free all the time, T-Mobile does allow customers to change their number once per year for free. After the first change, it is $15 per change. Your old number will be held anywhere between 45 and 90 days, then will be released for a new user. To get the number switched with this service provider, you have to call the General Customer Care & Technical Support line at 1-800-937-8997 from a different phone so they can switch your number over while you’re on the line.
Changing Your Verizon Number
Verizon has made changing your phone number easy through their My Verizon app that comes on all of their devices. You will have to be the account owner or manager to complete the change. Once you’re logged into the app, select the phone you want to change the number on and select to either get a completely new number or transfer an old one. You will enter your ZIP code or city and state and a drop-down will allow you to select the first six digits of your number and an effective date. After making your selections, you will be able to choose the last four digits as well and submit. Then it will be your new number on the effective date you selected.
No matter what company you have as a service provider iPhone users will want to make sure to sync their Apple ID to the new number. If looking at changing your number doesn’t seem like enough, you could always change your service provider or get a new phone instead.
It was a good weekend for the home teams in the first games of the NBA playoffs. All eight home teams took their respective Game 1s, and most in relatively easy fashion. On Sunday, only the nightcap’s Pelicans-Thunder matchup came down to the wire, with the top-seeded Oklahoma City narrowly holding off New Orleans.

How to watch the NBA playoffs
The NBA playoffs will be shown across four channels: ABC, ESPN, TNT and NBA TV. You can watch the games with a cable subscription or a live TV streaming service.
Three of the five major services offer all four channels. Hulu with Live TV lacks NBA TV, which will show only a handful of playoff games. Fubo lacks TNT, which shows a big portion of the NBA playoffs, making Fubo a poor choice for hoops fans. You can also watch TNT broadcasts of playoff games with Max.
All the live TV streaming services above offer free trials, allow you to cancel anytime, and require a solid internet connection. Looking for more information? Check out our live TV streaming services guide.
Google’s latest flagship may now be the Pixel 8 Pro, but the Pixel 7 Pro is still an excellent phone for those in the market for a new device, especially when you can find one at a good price. Right now Amazon is offering a brand-new 256GB Pixel 7 Pro for $530 rather than the $999 it usually goes for. That’s a whopping $469 discount. There’s no set expiration date for this deal, so it could disappear at any time. We’d recommend placing your order sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
The Pixel 7 Pro formerly appeared on our list of best phones to buy in 2023, and for good reason. It has a sleek design and a lot of power under the hood with its Tensor G2 chip that puts it on par with something like the Samsung S22 Ultra in terms of performance. That means you get a smooth experience out of using it, especially with the latest Android software, which the Pixel 7 Pro is optimized to use given that Google makes Android.
You also get three excellent cameras: a 50-megapixel main camera, a 48-megapixel telephoto lens and a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera. There’s also a lot more AI in the imaging software this time around and even includes a photo unblur tool which is useful in a lot of scenarios. You’ll also get to see all your pics on a gorgeous 6.7-inch screen that’s running a 3,120×1,440-pixel resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, the latter of which makes for a snappy experience and is what you’d want to see on a flagship phone.
The Pixel 7 Pro continues to be an impressive phone in 2024 for those that don’t necessarily need the latest advancements, especially when you consider the discounted price. Or, if you’d rather go for something else entirely, check out our roundup of the best phone deals available right now.
