In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Tim Gilbert) we discussed what LastPass users should do in the wake of its recent security breach. LastPass - one of the world’s biggest password managers - has 25 million users worldwide, including many Australians. I am one of them. So what do we do? The company said there was no evidence that this incident involved any access to customer data or encrypted password vaults. While embarrassing - LastPass deserves credit for being upfront about the incident. The system is working normally.

When it comes to noise cancelling headphones - Sony’s 1000X series is King. I’ve got four of them and each one was a sensation at launch. Now the WH-1000XM5 version is coming our way, mid-June in Australia actually, for $549.95 AUD.

The WH-1000XM4s are already pretty amazing so it will be an interesting hands on review.

The WH-1000XM5s have a different look to the previous models but under the hood there’s more power to the shut the world out and improve audio reproduction. The M5’s use two processors controlling eight microphones that reduce noise especially in the mid-high frequency range. The Auto NC Optimiser automatically optimises noise cancellation, depending on the environment. Think of cafe, train or walking the city streets.

In Sunday's segment on Sky News Australia (Weekend Edition with Jaynie Seal) we looked at Sony’s strange-looking wireless earbuds - LinkBuds.

Sony’s unique ring design with audio transparency links online and offline worlds for a “Never Off” wearing experience. LinkBuds are also integrated with Microsoft Soundscape allowing the vision impaired to receive audio guidance - hands free.

LinkBuds will be available in Australia from April 2022 for $299.95.
