In the past year, Uber has launched its own autonomous vehicle development program, Lyft has partnered with GM and Didi received a $1 billion investment from Apple. In the wake of this week’s Ford autonomous vehicle announcement, Volvo has now stepped up and announced that it will partner with Uber to develop and produce autonomous vehicles.

A great pair of headphones needs to be a perfect blend of sound and comfort. Firstly, the sound has to be right. You need a solid middle range, a firm bass but without too much boom so your ears don’t tire. At the top end you need enough treble to take care of the cymbals but not so harsh that it hurts your ears or crowds out the rest of the music. Quite a few headphones achieve this sonic balance and the Play H6 headphones from Bang & Olufsen most certainly do.
