The headphone jack is back.

On the PX7 S2 that it released last year, Bowers & Wilkins made the bizarre decision to eliminate the 3.5mm headphone jack. If you wanted to use the PX7 in a wired capacity, you had to use a USB-C-to-3.5mm cable (you know, that very common cable everyone has). Fortunately for traditionalists out there, the new Px7 S2e has brought back support for the 3.5mm connector, and there’s one included in the box.

The Px7 S2e is available now on the Bowers & Wilkins website for $399 (the same price as its predecessor).

Sims, but just the building part, and make it a party.

Reviewers have described the upcoming game Hometopia as “the best parts of The Sims 4 and House Flipper”. Say no more; I’m already in.

The conceit of the game seems to be that you play as a realty group and go around furnishing, building, and/or flipping houses. But unlike in the Sims, you can do it with your friends. Up to four players can work together on a neighborhood, and you can bet I will be enlisting the three artsiest people I know in order to make the coolest, trendiest town ever.

If you’re as obsessed with this idea as I am, look out for Hometopia to open up early access on 9/27. (It’s free.)
