With the new iPhone 7 lacking a jack, and that dongle thing being too easy to lose, it looks like wireless headphones are all the rage right now. Earin headphones are just the thing you might need. They’re so tiny that you may mistake them for a pair of earplugs, but believe us, they pack so much noise, you won’t even realize that you’re using bluetooth headphones.

The Malmo, Sweden-based company basically got rid of all the annoying parts of headphones — no cables, no wires. That means no tangles in your bag or tangles in your pocket. What you’re left with is two tiny buds that fit perfectly in your ear. They’re armed with armature speakers that have the most outstanding acoustic detail and clarity. The armature speakers have two amps with the most minimal distortion around. You’ll get nice high and mid tones, and the tightest bass. When you’re not using them, simply place them inside the Earin capsule, made from a single block of aluminum and charge charge charge until your next use.

So get rid of all those cords and switch to the Earin bluetooth headphones. The Earin headphones are also a 2016 Design Award Winner. You’ll feel much lighter and you won’t be tangled in a mess of cord. The result? Less is more. You’ll love the way Earin headphones amplify the music in your device. Plus, you’ll get the best sound you’ll experience while strutting down the street listening to your favorite tunes.

What’s the deal with Bryson DeChambeau? The Open Championship controversy explained

DeChambeau drew ire and measured responses over the weekend.

It was Ryan Fox who birdied the 18th hole on Sunday to win The 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. Despite the electric finish, all anyone's talking about is Bryson DeChambeau, who was given a two-stroke penalty following Friday's second round. The penalty has apparently divided the golf community, but the fact remains that DeChambeau's response to the penalty over the weekend took away from Fox's triumphant moment. And now, word is that DeChambeau reportedly tried and failed to rope President Donald Trump into said controversy.

The drama unfolded after Friday's second round, when it seemed DeChambeau finished the day in sole possession of second place with a -7 under score heading into the third round. At least it appeared that way -- until the leaderboard was updated to reflect a two-stroke penalty against DeChambeau, after officials claimed he stomped on the grass behind his ball to improve the line of his swing at No. 5. That, officials say, violates Rule 8.1, which states that, in order "to support the principle of 'play the course as you find it,' this Rule restricts what a player may do to improve any of these protected 'conditions affecting the stroke' (anywhere on or off the course)."

Spain outlasts Argentina to win FIFA World Cup and cap sensational tournament

Spain's relentless pressure finally paid off in extra time.

And just like that, Argentina's luck ran out. Spain's Ferran Torres emphatically found the back of the net from 8 yards out in extra time to secure La Roja a 1-0 win and the country's second World Cup. Torres' goal came in the 106th minute, but don't let that fool you: this was a one-sided contest from start to finish, and a deeper look at the box score reflects that.

I predicted Spain would beat Argentina, 3-1, and from the start it seemed like that prediction would come to fruition. Spain came out swinging, almost immediately recording two shots on goal, including an early header that came so close to finding the back of the net. Spain's relentless attack was evident throughout the match. La Roja applied pressure with swift passing and precision shots. Just ask Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez, who seemed to be the only one playing defense, making one spectacular save after another, 11 to be exact.

England-France playing for third place an instant World Cup classic

It was only for third place, but what a thriller.

Head, Person, Face

If you tuned in for the World Cup England-France game and checked out at halftime, nobody would have blamed you. The Three Lions led 4-0 at the half in a third-place game that was a blowout. You would have been right to assume England was in complete control and France had all but given up. You also would have been forgiven for turning off the TV and moving on to the rest of your Saturday. But for those who stuck it out, you were rewarded for your patience and loyalty.

France didn't waste any time getting on the board just three minutes into the second half with Kylian Mbappé's first goal of the game. Mbappé's goal didn't matter all that much at that point, except if you've been following the Golden Boot race. England still held a commanding 4-1 lead, thanks to goals from Declan Rice (3rd minute), Ezri Konsa (18th), and Bukayo Saka's brace (37th and stoppage time). Saka would complete the hat-trick in the 87th minute with a penalty conversion.
