In addition, they sound way better. Inside the completely wireless earbuds, there’s an 8mm custom dynamic driver that blows other headphones’ sound quality out of the water, and as for battery life, you’ll get three hours of it from these buds on a single charge, and the sleek carrying case holds an extra six charges on top of that.

The Axum Gear True Wireless Earbuds usually retail for $299.99. Great headphones don’t come cheap. For a limited time, though, we’ve found them on sale for an insane $149.99. That’s right: they’re exactly the same price as the AirPods right now. It’s clear who the winner is.

Scientists discovered a strange movement deep below the Earth’s surface near California’s biggest fault lines.

Geoscientists who analyzed thousands of small earthquakes that occurred near the San Bernardino basin near California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults discovered a strange and unexpected type of movement 10 km below the Earth’s surface.

Researchers think that the movement, known as “deep creep,” could be behind the unusual earthquake formations recorded in the region over the past 36 years.

Antitrust crusaders have built up serious momentum in Washington, but so far, it’s all been theory and talk. Groups like Open Markets have made a strong case that big companies (especially big tech companies) are distorting the market to drive out competitors. We need a new standard for monopolies, they argue, one that focuses less on consumer harm and more on the skewed incentives produced by a company the size of Facebook or Google.

Someday soon, those ideas will be put to the test, probably against one of a handful of companies. For anti-monopolists, it’s a chance to reshape tech into something more democratic and less destructive. It’s just a question of which company makes the best target.

To that end, here’s the case against four of the movement’s biggest targets, and what they might look like if they came out on the losing end. (Note: Apple was too much of a conventional retailer to make the list, but if you’re wondering what an antitrust lawsuit against Cupertino might look like, this is a pretty good place to start.)
