Digital Foundry | Grado Hemp headphones review: material science
Years after debuting as a $420 limited edition, are these worth £439?
Grado made some waves in the headphone world back in 2020 with its limited edition Hemp headphones which, as the name suggested, were made of hemp and maple, combining the warmth of a wood cabinet for audio with a dose of the good stuff. 2024 has seen Grado make the Hemps a permanent part of their range, with an appropriate price - $469 in the USA (up from their previous price at $420), and £439 in the UK. Of course, that's by no means cheap, and it's a lot more than previous Grado models I've looked at, such as the lovely SR325x. I've been using the Hemps for the last few weeks to see if they're worth that higher price.

Do these fidelity and frame-rate upgrades justify a $699/£699 price?

Review | The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom review - a rebellious remix of past and present
One for the sages.
For a series approaching its 40th birthday, Princess Zelda's moment to take centre stage in her own legend has been a long time coming. She came close in 2009's Spirit Tracks, even if it was as a ghost locked inside a suit of armour, and we felt her presence at almost every turn in 2023's Tears of the Kingdom - an impressive feat considering the time and distance separating her from your over and underground ramblings. But even in her brightest moments, Zelda has always played second fiddle to her sword-wielding hero Link. Until now, where it's Link who gets spirited away by the latest evil being of the day, and it's Zelda who must finally restore the world of Hyrule to rights.

Feature | Inside the Nintendo Museum: a joyful celebration of machines, magic and the art of play
Link to the past.
To visit the Nintendo Museum in the leafy suburbs of Uji City's Oguracho district, about a half hour train ride from their headquarters in Kyoto, is to journey back to simpler and happier times. Most museums, of course, strive to dig up the past and present it in such a way that contemporary audiences can easily digest it, but it's rare to feel this transformation take place quite so literally. As you leave the bustling modernity of Kyoto Station behind, concrete gives way to fields, mountains and farms, transporting you to the kind of rural idyll you might remember from games like Attack of the Friday Monsters or Famicom Detective Club.
