Samsung's next-gen true wireless earbuds [have leaked]( thought to be called the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. Why does it matter? There's something of a battle for your ears going on, with true wireless headphones absolutely flooding the market, bring with them more features each time. What's my take? I've used the [Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro]( fairly consistently since I reviewed them in January 2021. That took me by surprise - anyone who reviews headphones ends up with a lot of choices and, for me, the Buds Pro stuck. Why? I'm not even sure. They fit well, they're incredibly easy to pair with new devices, the noise cancellation is good enough (but not the best), but the noise cancellation on calls is a step ahead of lots of its rivals. Samsung has ramped up its headphone offering in recent years and it seems that accessories are now a huge target, with everyone seemingly offering their own take on true wireless headphones. While the design stays more or less the same, we're wondering exactly what new features they might offer. Better ANC would be welcomed, spatial audio or head tracking is likely and, of course, longer battery life. We're expecting this update to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and other goodies at an August launch event. Prepare yourself for Prime Day Amazon What's happened? [Prime Day]( is coming on 12-13 July and that means you'll be seeing a lot of deals. Why does it matter? Amazon holds two big shopping events each year - the traditional Black Friday which is great for Christmas shopping, and the summer event that it calls Prime Day. The catch for the latter is that you need to be a [Prime member]( to take part. What's my take? Prime Day has been running for the past few years, a branded summer sale and a chance for Amazon to make a splash, offering loads of deals and discounts, so long as you are a Prime member. There will be some genuinely good deals, especially on Amazon's own branded devices such as Echo speakers or Fire tablets. These are regularly discounted through the year, but generally, the prices will be at their lowest across Prime Day. But it's also worth keeping an eye on those prices. Discounts are often listed from RRP rather than the most recent price, so they may look more impressive than they actually are. Caveat emptor. We'll be scouring the deals on Pocket-lint to highlight those we think are worthy, so keep your eyes on our [Prime Day hub]( if you're interested. We will, of course, continue to bring you regular news, reviews and features at the same time. Corsair HS65 Surround review: Safe and sound Pocket-lint What's happened? The Corsair HS65 Surround is a lightweight gaming headset that's designed to work with a variety of devices with 3.5mm and USB connectivity. It's more affordable than [the superb Corsair HS80]( but that doesn't necessarily mean that this is a huge step down in quality. Our quick verdict The Corsair HS65 Surround is a surprisingly good headset for the money. It's an affordable, premium-looking option with a number of nice highlights. We have a few small complaints about the microphone - and the sound isn't as good as the HS80 or the Corsair Virtuoso XT - but, for the money, this is still a good option. [Read our review](. In Case You Missed it It's back! How to get the [original iPhone's clownfish wallpaper](. --- The Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro get [big discounts in summer sales](. --- The Amazon Echo Show 5 has 59% off in an early Prime Day deal, [coming in at $34.99]( instead of $84.99. That's a good $50 discount for the Alexa smart speaker with a 5-inch screen, capable of playing Netflix, Prime Video and much more. From The Gear Loop Alex Foxfield What is scrambling?
