New Beats Products for the win!

New Beats by Dre products are coming at our faces! According to reports, the Apple Special Media Event on September 7th will feature a selection of new beats products.

And… that’s pretty much all we know at this point.

Predictions of products to be released are new wireless headphones and headphones that adopt Lightning connectors, because the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus will likely not have a headphone jack.

Not under the Beats brand, fully wireless “AirPods” earbuds are expected by some to be revealed by Apple at the same event.

Samsung issues global recall for the Galaxy 7 Note eep!

Last week was a rather large ‘EEP’ week for Samsung. This is because following the massive and applauded release of the Galaxy 7 Note a little less than a month ago on August 19th, they’ve officially stopped sales of the Galaxy Note 7 and issued a voluntary recall for existing devices.

Which is a really big deal.

Because it started exploding.

Reports started popping up all over the world of the batteries exploding, and as such, Samsung is conducting a full investigation. If you bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 7, here’s what you can do.

*Samsung will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one.

*Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint have all said customers can visit one of their retail locations to return or exchange the Galaxy Note 7 and any accessories they may have purchased to go with the device.

*Samsung said it would offer customers a $25 gift card, in-store credit or bill credit from their carrier “as a gesture of appreciation” if they chose a Galaxy S7 family device or opted for a new Galaxy Note7.

If you have any more questions or concerns, you can visit the store where you bought the device,  or call 1-800-SAMSUNG.
