We tested hundreds of options--our top picks from Apple, Google, Samsung, and Beats are standout favorites that are ready for any task. I use Wireless earbuds constantly. I use them for work, running, working out, relaxing, traveling--whatever I am doing, chances are I have a pair of wireless earbuds on me, just in case. While some of the earliest models were huge and inconvenient, earbuds nowadays are slim, comfortable, and often affordable. The WIRED Reviews team doesn't just use earbuds--we test them. And after weeks of music, calls, commutes, and rogue earbuds flying out of our ears, we've chosen these favorites that are the best for most people.

With the recent rapid advancement of Agentic Intelligence, agentic tool use in LLMs has become increasingly important. During multi-turn interactions between agents and users, the dynamic, uncertain, and stochastic nature of user demands poses significant challenges to the agent's tool invocation capabilities. Agents are no longer expected to simply call tools to deliver a result; rather, they must iteratively refine their understanding of user needs through communication while simultaneously invoking tools to resolve user queries. Existing reinforcement learning (RL) approaches for tool use lack the integration of genuinely dynamic users during the RL training process. To bridge this gap, we introduce MUA-RL (Multi-turn User-interacting Agent Reinforcement Learning for agentic tool use), a novel reinforcement learning framework that, for the first time in the field of agentic tool use, integrates LLM-simulated users into the reinforcement learning loop. MUA-RL aims to enable autonomous learning of models to communicate with users efficiently and use various tools to solve practical problems in dynamic multi-turn interactions. Evaluations are done on several multi-turn tool-using benchmarks (see Figure 1). Specifically, MUA-RL-32B achieves 67.3 on TAU2 Retail, 45.4 on TAU2 Airline, 28.3 on TAU2 Telecom, 28.4 on BFCL-V3 Multi Turn, and 82.5 on ACEBench Agent -- outperforming or matching the performance of larger open-source models such as DeepSeek-V3-0324 and Qwen3-235B-A22B in non-thinking settings.

Most tech costs a fair chunk of change (the PS5 Pro and iPad Pro jump to mind), but some smaller electronics are (almost) as exciting. Now that Cyber Monday is here, we've found dozens of deals on inexpensive electronics and accessories that cost less than 50. Unlike other lists you may find today, this one is made up of items we've tested, reviewed or otherwise recommend in our buying and gift guides -- so we think they're actually worth your money. Amazon Echo Pop (2023) for 18 ( 22 off): Amazon's smallest Echo will fit in any room in your home, so Alexa can add things to your shopping list, set a timer, or answer questions (like "What's a bomb cyclone?" or "Who is Penelope Cruz married to?") from anywhere. Anker Nano Charger 30W USB-C for 13 ( 7 off): This compact 30-watt wall charger is smaller than others of its wattage and can speedily juice up an iPhone or Android handset. Anker is one of Engadget's most recommended accessory brands and this is the model we picked for our fast charger guide. Get the same deal at Anker with an auto-applied code. Anker Nano power bank with built-in USB-C connector for 16 ( 4 off): It's the size of an old-timey lipstick case but packs enough juice (and its own USB-C plug) to get a dying smartphone back in service with at least a half charge.
