This time around, we’re reviewing the Jabra Elite Active 65t, which supports Bluetooth 5.0 and also promises good sound quality, up to 15 hours of battery life, and a secure fit. We have already reviewed the Jabra Elite 65t, which impressed us with its sound quality, and this is a variant of that pair of earphones, aimed at sports and fitness enthusiasts.

US President Trump Asked to Unblock 41 Twitter Users After Court Ruling

A US free speech group on Friday asked President Donald Trump to unblock 41 Twitter users after a federal judge in May ordered him to restore access to a group of individuals who filed suit. US District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald in Manhattan ruled on May 23 that comments on the President’s account, and those of other government officials, were public forums and that blocking Twitter users for their views violated their right to free speech under the First Amendment of the US Constitution.

The White House did not imm...
