Want a seemingly endless source of free music to make staying indoors more enjoyable? Right now, Apple Music is offering a three-month subscription for absolutely nothing. It’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy more than 60 million tracks via the music-streaming service, without having to pay a penny. There’s no obligation to keep using the service at the end of the trial period either. Cancel before the trial ends and you won’t be charged a single cent.
Apple Music launched back in 2015 and since then it’s gone from strength to strength. It’s now the best-loved music-streaming service in the United States, fending off competition from Swedish rival Spotify. It’s hardly surprising either when you look at what Apple Music offers compared to its rivals. It has exclusive content along with human-run radio stations so you get a more personalized experience than you can get anywhere else.
You can also control Apple Music through Siri with the voice assistant able to understand (and execute) commands like, “Play the best-selling hip-hop song from November 2001.” It can also understand you if you just say you want to play your favorite track. It’s this smarter interface that makes Apple Music a much-loved service as you won’t have to worry about thinking how to phrase a question.
While Siri support requires you to use Apple products such as an Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, etc, Apple Music doesn’t only work with Apple hardware. It’s also compatible with all the usual suspects including Android, Sonos, and Windows, so you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.
Hooked on the idea of 60 million tracks free for the next three months? Of course you are. Sign up now to enjoy everything that Apple Music has to offer. If you decide to keep using Apple Music (or forget to cancel it before the renewal date), Apple will debit the card linked to your Apple ID. The standard usage fee is $10 per month until the subscription is canceled but there are other options.
Students are able to sign up to Apple Music for only $5 per month provided they demonstrate they’re an eligible student. Alternatively, you can set up a multi-user subscription for up to six people with Apple Music Family. That plan costs $15 per month but will give your whole family access to everything Apple Music offers.
Whatever you decide, don’t forget to sign up for three months free right now. Remember, there’s no commitment!
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
