The Seattle Seahawks are strong favorites going into this game. They clinched the NFC’s top seed with a regular season record of 14-3, before beating the 49ers and Rams in the playoffs. Sam Darnold will be looking to lead Seattle to their first title since 2014. Standing in his way is a rejuvenated Patriots led by Drake Maye. Last year’s 4-13 record is long forgotten.

Donald Trump’s sexist treatment of female journalists continues, with the U.S. president insulting CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins during a press conference on Tuesday. The journalist, doing her job, asked Trump about the Epstein files and what he would say to survivors of the convicted sex offender — to which the president responded with a string of insults, ending with, “I don’t think I’ve seen you smile.”

“She’s asking you about a notorious sex trafficking ring that the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are connected to,” said Seth Meyers during his Late Night segment on Trump’s behaviour on Thursday night. “It’s not her fault you’re in a bad mood because the grilled cheese you made for lunch is bumping up against the hamburger in your belly full of Diet Coke.

“Now to you, a normal person watching this at home, you might think the president telling a female reporter to ‘smile’ while she asked a question about a sex trafficker might make him look like a dick, but what if you asked another dick? What would they think of that exchange?” Meyers added.

Cut to footage of JD Vance’s interview with Megyn Kelly, in which the vice president called Trump’s comment to Collins “actually like, so perceptive.”

“You think telling a woman to smile more is perceptive?” responded Meyers. “Then let me introduce you to New York’s many construction workers. They’re veritable Oracle of Delphis. You know, I’m also a little perceptive now and then, and I do perceive JD Vance as the wormy little chud he is.”

Jimmy Kimmel and The Daily Show‘s Michael Kosta also slammed Trump’s comments on their shows.

JLab, the California audio brand behind some of our favorite budget headphones, is launching a new pair of oversized headphones with a secret. They’re actually Bluetooth speakers you can wear — but around your neck, not on your dome.

The limited-edition JLab Blue XL Speaker Headphones aren’t just a bit tied to this weekend’s Bad Bunny concert big game. They’re a real product you can buy. As of Feb. 4, JLab is selling them on its website for just $99.99 a pair while supplies last.

JLab gave out shiny golden versions of these headphones to playmakers during the 2025 Birmingham Bowl between Georgia Southern and Appalachian State, of which it was the title sponsor. All Georgia Southern Eagles players received a pair of the Blue XLs for winning the game. They come in an aqua colorway, hence their name.

The Blue XLs are equipped with faux leather ear cushions and dual 2.5-inch drivers, and they offer up to 20 hours of playtime with a full three-hour charge. They’re compatible with Bluetooth 5.4. And like the regular-sized JLab JBuds Lux ANC headphones, our top value pick, you can customize their sound settings using the JLab app.

A JLab rep tells me that the Blue XLs weigh in at 3.3 pounds and that there’s a cushion on their band. If your upper traps can’t handle the strain, or if you’re too shy to wear the Blue XLs in public, the company says you can also prop them up on a table for listening.

Phone, keys, speaker that looks like giant headphones… good to go.

JLab’s release of the Blue XLs comes hot on the heels of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where the Mashable team encountered a much more practical take on the speaker headphones concept. With a simple twist, TDM.’s Neo Hybrids transform from headphones that play audio from their cups into a compact portable speaker with external audio. Senior Tech Reporter Matt Binder called them “one of the most impressive things I found” at CES. They’ll soon launch on Kickstarter for $249.
