The Best New Gadgets and Hi-Fi Releases of 2025 (Updated)

Clearaudio is a German hi-fi manufacturer that specializes in high-end audiophile turntables — they range from a few grand to a lot more (its flagship Reference Jubilee costs $30,000). Now, it has launched a premium collection of precision tools designed to keep your turntable and vinyl records in immaculate condition. According to the brand, “each tool has been carefully designed to meet Clearaudio’s exacting engineering standards, helping enthusiasts achieve and maintain the highest possible sound quality from their analogue systems.”

The Fokus Prestige Encore is the American hi-fi brand’s premium set of wireless earbuds. Each earbud is made of solid wood and packs four drivers inside: an 8mm dynamic driver, two balanced armature drivers, and a 6mm planar magnetic driver. Together, the pair promises to deliver high-resolution audio over Bluetooth (thanks to support for aptX Lossless, aptX Adaptive and LDAC). And they support active noise-cancellation and transparency modes.

Insta360’s X4 Air is a 360-degree action camera that is essentially a more affordable version of the company’s flagship X5. It’s notably smaller and lighter — in fact, at 165 grams, it’s Insta360’s lightest ever 360-degree action camera. Yet it’s still capable of capturing excellent 360-degree videos (up to 8K at 30 fps). The main trade-offs are its photo-capture capabilities (maxing out at 29-megapixel stills) and battery life, promising up to 88 minutes of runtime.

Leica’s full-frame, mirrorless SL3 camera has already made quite the impact in the photography world. Praised for its combination of classic craftsmanship with modern technology – especially its 60-megapixel sensor with Triple Resolution Technology – it’s a worthy successor to the beloved SL2. This version takes it to the next level, however, by giving it an exterior that’s far more durable, capable, and tough. The grip is made from Aramid, an extremely robust woven fiber, and the OD green finish is scratch-resistant. This is a camera designed to perform (and survive) just about anywhere.

Leica M EV1 is the company’s first M-mount camera that’s not a rangefinder. Instead, it features a 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder, making the camera a lot more familiar and user-friendly for modern photographers who use mirrorless cameras. Aside from the new viewfinder, the M EV1 shares many of the same specs as Leica’s 2023-released M11-P; it features the same processor, a 60-megapixel full-frame sensor, and also lacks the ability to record video.

Samsung and Google teamed up to create the Galaxy XR, a mixed reality headset that is designed to work similarly to Apple’s Vision Pro, but be significantly lighter and more affordable — in fact, starting at $1800, it’s almost half the price. The headset features 4K micro-OLED screens, a number of high-resolution cameras for face and eye tracking, and runs on the Android XR platform, which was developed by both brands. And, just like the Vision Pro, the headset can be used to navigate the real world (with its integration with Google Maps), watch movies and shows, experience live sporting events from afar, and capture and experience immersive spatial photos and videos.

Nomad’s Stratos is the brand’s most premium Apple Watch strap to date. It’s the only hybrid Apple Watch band with Grade 4 titanium links and an FKM rubber interior, giving it a premium look while feeling more flexible and sporty. As far as color options, you can pick between silver or carbide for the titanium, and black, volt (electric yellow) or ultra orange for the FKM rubber. It’s designed to fit any Apple Watch Ultra and comes with a tool for adding and removing links.

House of Marley’s Soul Rebel is an affordable all-in-one turntable that comes with built-in stereo speakers and an Audio-Technica AT3600L stylus. It has Bluetooth for streaming when you’re not listening to vinyl, as well as RCA and auxiliary outputs for hooking the turntable up to larger hi-fi systems. That said, the most interesting thing about the turntable is the built-in lighting beneath its plinth, which is designed to help set the mood while you’re listening to records.

Apple has refreshed its iPad Pro lineup with its new M5 chip. The upgraded silicon promises key performance and efficiency gains, as well as up to 3.5x the AI performance compared to the iPad Pro with M4 and up to 5.6x faster than the iPad Pro with M1. They also feature the Apple N1 chip, which should make Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Thread connections more reliable. And for cellular models, they’ve been updated with Apple’s C1X modem (replacing the Qualcomm modem in the M4 models), which should increase the iPad Pro’s speed when using cellular. Available for pre-order now, the M5 models start shipping on October 22.

The 14-inch MacBook Pro with Apple’s M5 chip is exactly the same as the M4-equipped model that was released in the fall of 2024. However, according to Apple, the M5 chip makes the new model “get even faster, more capable, and delivers a huge leap in AI performance.” It’s available for preorder now, with shipping starting on October 22. It starts at $1,599, just like its predecessor.

Apple just upgraded its Vision Pro mixed-reality headset. The key feature of this second-generation model is its inclusion of Apple’s new M5 processor, which promises to deliver significant improvements in performance, graphics, and battery life compared to the first-generation model (which utilized Apple’s M2 chip). Additionally, it now comes with a new Dual Knit Band, which should make the headset more comfortable to wear. Other than that, the M5 Vision Pro looks, works and costs the same as the original Vision Pro, which was released in 2024. It goes on sale on October 22.

The Fujifilm Instax mini LiPlay+ is a new and improved version of the original Instax LiPlay, released in 2019. Like before, it’s a hybrid instant camera that allows you to view the photo (via a rear digital display) before deciding to print it. Most interestingly, the mini LiPlay+ is the first Instax camera that lets you record sound and then add an associated QR code on the photo. People can then hear that recording (limited to 3-second audio clips) by scanning the QR code. The camera is available in two color options: Sand Beige or Midnight Blue. 

The Arctis Nova Elite is the company’s flagship gaming headset for 2025. It combines a premium build with “audiophile-grade” performance, plus support for all the advanced gaming features and technologies you’d expect from what SteelSeries is calling “the best high-end gaming headset on the planet.” Additionally, its versatility and bespoke design allow it to function as a premium pair of active noise-canceling wireless headphones when not used for gaming. It’s compatible with PCs and Macs, as well as PlayStation and Xbox consoles.

The Sennheiser HDB 630 is the first real premium pair of wireless noise-canceling headphones that the famed German hi-fi manufacturer has released in several years (specifically, the 2022-released Momentum 4). The headphones promise to deliver flagship-level sound, active noise-cancellation and comfort. That said, what makes them stand out is their ability to deliver high-resolution sound, both wired and wirelessly. When connected to a source via a USB-C or 3.5mm cable, the HDB 630 can play audio at up to 24-bit/96kHz resolution. When used with the included USB-C transmitter, which plugs into your smartphone or laptop, the headphones support aptX Adaptive and can play higher fidelity audio over Bluetooth. In a nutshell, they’re high-end noise-canceling wireless headphones catered to audiophiles.

The Audioengine HXL is a portable DAC and headphone amplifier that plugs into a laptop, tablet or smartphone via USB-C. It features dual CS43131 DACs that support high-fidelity audio up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256. It also has a 60-step digital hardware volume control and both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs. According to the Texas-based audio maker, the HXL is designed to deliver “serious headphone performance in a portable, plug-and-play form factor.”

Unistellar’s Envision is the company’s first pair of smart binoculars. They combine new-age tech with Nikon optics to deliver an augmented reality overlay of what you’re looking at. You can look at a mountain range and it’ll tell you the various names of each peak and their elevation. It can also identify lakes, rivers, trails and other landmarks. At night, it can also help identify stars, planets, asteroids, moons, and galaxies. The AR binoculars are now available for preorder at a discounted price of $1,000, with shipping expected in October 2026.

The Google Home Speaker is the company’s next-gen $100 smart home speaker. Google redesigned it both inside and out so that it looks very similar to Apple’s HomePod mini, thanks to its rounded design and 3D knit fabric covering, and improved its 360-degree sound. Most notably, the speaker is integrated with Gemini for Home and a new service (Google Home Premium) that’s powered by Google’s Gemini AI. This means that, in a nutshell, the smart assistant should be way more conversational (and smart) than Apple’s Siri. The speaker will come in four different colors (Jade, Berry, Porcelain, and Haze), but you’ll have to wait to buy — it won’t be available until “spring 2026.”

Google has introduced updated versions of its Nest Indoor and Outdoor smart home cameras. Both have the same design as their predecessors, but are now available in new color options. The big upgrade is that each supports a higher resolution picture (now 2K HDR) with a wider field of view. They also have a new cropping feature that zooms in on whatever prompted the alert (be it a person or a pet). Additionally, these cameras come with twice as much storage for free video clips — the 10-second motion-activated clips can be viewed for up to 6 hours after they were recorded, instead of three.

Google’s third-generation video doorbell looks much like its 2022-released predecessor, but the new model has an upgraded lens and sensor, allowing it to record 2K HDR video for the first time and have a wider field of view. It also has a convenient new zooming feature where, if there’s a motion-activated alert, the camera will zoom in on the subject (person or animal) that triggered the alert. It costs $180, just like before, and is available now.

Amazon announced two new smart speakers at its big hardware event this year: the Echo Studio and the Echo Dot Max. The Echo Studio, which has been Amazon’s biggest and beefiest speaker for several years, has been completely redesigned with a new look and new drivers; it’s also roughly 40 percent smaller than its predecessor. The Echo Dot Max shares a similar new design, featuring a 3D knit fabric and a front-facing light ring with on-device controls, but it is roughly half the size of the new Echo Studio.

Jony Ive, founder of LoveFrom (and Apple’s famed product designer for over two decades), has teamed up with Gen Terao, the founder of Balmuda, the iconic Japanese design and manufacturing company, to create this Sailing Lantern. Inspired by classic maritime design, the Sailing Lantern is crafted from precision-ground, polished glass and stainless steel, featuring mirror and electroplated finishes. It packs dual LEDs, a rechargeable battery, and a single dial that controls both brightness and color temperature. According to the brands, this portable lantern is meant to create a light that “feels like an ancient flame captured in modern form — both romantic and enduring.”

Fosi Audio is fast becoming one of the most prominent names in budget hi-fi — and the IM4 is the brand’s first pair of in-ear monitors. The earbuds have an open-back design and feature 10mm beryllium-coated diaphragm drivers. According to the brand, they’re designed to bring a “spacious, natural sound and all-day comfort to the portable hi-fi category.” And at $100, they’re an accessible entry point for aspiring audiophiles.

The Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2 are the brand’s flagship noise-canceling headphones for 2025. Similar to the 2022-released Px8 headphones, the “S2” models combine premium materials (mostly aluminum and Nappa leather) with gorgeous design and excellent audio quality, but the British hi-fi manufacturer has made everything a little better. The Px8 S2 promise improved sound up to 24-bit/96 kHz with support for aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless. They are slightly lighter and slimmer, so they should be more comfortable to wear. Both the earpads and the headband are replaceable, extending their overall lifespan. And they have better ANC, call quality, battery life and more. B&W is calling them the best headphones it’s ever made.

The GoPro Max 2 is the company’s second-generation 360-degree action camera. Compared to its predecessor, the 2019-released Max, the main upgrade with the Max 2 is its improved video capture capabilities — it can record 360-degree videos up to 8K/30fps and 180-degree videos at up to 4K/60fps. GoPro improved its battery life and audio recording, too. Maybe most notably, the Max 2 starts at $500, meaning GoPro didn’t actually increase the price from the original at all.

DJI’s Mini 5 Pro is the brand’s newest compact foldable drone and promises to be a substantial improvement over the 2023-released Mini 4 Pro. The main upgrade has to do with its sensor — the Mini 5 Pro is the first brand’s Mini line to feature a 50-megapixel one-inch-type sensor, and should deliver far superior picture quality and low-light performance. Additionally, DJI gave the Mini 5 Pro notably faster flying speeds (now up to 42 mph) and longer battery life (up to 52 minutes of flight time). Unfortunately for US customers, however, it doesn’t look like DJI is going to sell it in the States.

Logitech’s Signature Slim Solar+ K980 is the first solar-powered keyboard that the company has released in years. The wireless board doesn’t have any charging port or swappable batteries, but features a solar panel (on its top edge) that charges via sunlight or artificial light. Logitech claims that, when fully charged, the keyboard can run without any type of light for up to four months. The full-sized keyboard is compatible with Mac and PCs, and comes in one color: granite.

The Oakley Meta Vanguard are smart glasses that are specifically designed for athletes. They combine Oakley’s frames and Prizm glass with Meta’s built-in camera and technology. The 12-megapixel camera, which has an ultra-wide 122-degree field of view, rests in the center of the shades and can record your workout. It is also compatible with Strava and Garmin devices, so that, at the end of the workout, it can share your workout videos with social media. Additionally, there are open-ear speakers built into the temples of the glasses so that you can listen to music and take calls while you ride.

Ray-Ban and Meta have released the second generation of their AI-powered smart glasses. They look just like the first-generation models — basically, like a pair of Ray-Bans — and work very similarly, too. However, the new models boast twice the battery life (now up to eight hours) and, maybe more significantly, boast upgraded cameras that are now capable of capturing up to ultra HD 3K videos. The sunglasses are available in three styles and a bunch of different colors.

The Garmin Venu 4 is the newest iteration of the brand’s lifestyle line of smartwatches. It looks and works similarly to the 2023-released Venu 3, but the fourth-generation model has a built-in LED flashlight, improved health features, and a Fitness Coach feature for personalized workouts. Additionally, it has a 12-day battery life, which puts rivals (like the Apple Watch) to shame. Available in two sizes: 41mm and 45mm.

Nothing’s third-generation flagship wireless earbuds, the Ear 3, look nearly identical to their 2023-released predecessors — they have a similar AirPods Pro-esque shape with a transparent design. The earbuds promise better sound quality, active noise-cancellation and battery life, but the headline new feature has to do with its charging case. It’s called “Super Mic” and it essentially turns the charging case into a standalone, high-quality mic for calls and video conferencing. The Ear 3 is available in two finishes: white or black.

The Aurzen D1R Cube is the first projector to run Roku’s smart TV operating system, giving users a familiar interface and access to their favorite streaming apps. It’s an affordable all-in-one projector capable of delivering a 1080 picture that’s up to 150 inches. It has a built-in speaker, but supports wireless compatibility with Roku’s ecosystem of wireless speakers and soundbars.

iPhone 17 introduces several hardware improvements, most notably an updated Center Stage front camera with the first square sensor on an iPhone. This new sensor allows for up to 18MP photos and a wider field of view, enabling users to take selfies or record video in either portrait or landscape while holding the device vertically. AI-powered Center Stage automatically expands the frame for group photos and can rotate between portrait and landscape to keep more people in view. The front camera also offers stabilized 4K HDR video and supports Dual Capture, which records with both the front and rear cameras at the same time. Other hardware updates include the A19 chip for improved performance, a 6.3-inch ProMotion display, and an aluminum frame for increased durability.

The Apple iPhone Air stands out as the thinnest iPhone ever made, measuring just 5.6mm thick. Its aerospace-grade titanium frame delivers both remarkable strength and a uniquely lightweight, sleek profile, making the form factor not only visually distinctive but also exceptionally portable. The phone introduces a powerful 48MP Fusion main camera and an innovative 18MP Center Stage front camera, expanding creative options with features like AI-driven framing and Dual Capture for simultaneous front and rear photos or video. Pre-orders for iPhone Air begin September 12, with general availability starting September 19.

Apple’s Watch Series 11 adds new capabilities to its health monitoring suite, introducing hypertension notification alerts and a detailed sleep score system for a deeper look at nightly rest. The updated sensors provide more accurate real-time biometric data, while 5G cellular connectivity allows for independent calls, messages, and app use even without a paired phone. Battery life now supports a full 24 hours of continuous use. Built with strengthened materials for improved durability, the Series 11 is designed for users who want advanced health tracking and seamless daily connectivity in a single smartwatch.

Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 introduce a powerful set of upgrades, highlighted by the addition of a built-in heart rate monitor for real-time health tracking during workouts. Active Noise Cancellation is now twice as effective as the previous generation, providing even deeper immersion and quieter environments, while new foam-infused ear tips ensure a more secure fit for a wider range of users. The standout new Live Translation feature enables seamless, in-ear real-time conversations across multiple languages, leveraging Apple Intelligence for effortless communication. Together, these enhancements make AirPods Pro 3 an even more versatile and indispensable personal audio companion.

The Apple Watch Ultra 3 is a new and improved version of the brand’s 2023-released Ultra 2. It features a similar rugged design to its predecessor, but Apple upgraded it with a slightly better display, support for  5G and, maybe most notably, an improved 42 hours of battery life (up from 36 hours). It also features two-way satellite connectivity, so you can text emergency services or share your location with friends and family when you’re off the grid without wi-fi or cellular service.

The Apple Watch SE 3 takes affordability and functionality to a new level. Now powered by the S10 chip, it introduces an Always-On display, fast charging, and robust 5G cellular capability. Health features see significant upgrades with sleep score tracking, sleep apnea notifications, wrist temperature sensing, and retrospective ovulation estimates for deeper wellness insights. The highly durable Ion-X glass and fresh features in watchOS 26 ensure long-term value. These enhancements make the SE 3 a strong choice for both new and returning Apple Watch users seeking advanced fitness, health, and connectivity at an accessible price.

The Fiio K13 R2R is a desktop-friendly DAC and headphone amplifier that’s positioned just beneath the brand’s $549 K15 in its lineup. It features Fiio’s proprietary 24-bit resistor ladder DAC and a powerful amplifier (delivering 2400mW) that’s capable of driving most headphones. It’s equipped with balanced 4.4mm and single-ended 6.35mm headphone jacks, along with selectable gain control, allowing you to match your headphones’ sensitivity. Additionally, it’s versatile enough to work as a standalone power amp or preamplifier, too.

The Nikon ZR is a cinema camera that combines Nikon’s renowned advanced auto focus capabilities and in-body stabilization with RED’s color science and exposure standards — it’s the first camera that the two iconic brands have collaborated on. The ZR features a full-frame sensor and is capable of capturing 12K RAW 6K video at 60fps. As the smallest model in Nikon’s Z CINEMA series, the ZR is designed for cinema, high-end productions and creators.

Beyerdynamic’s Aventho 200 is a wireless pair of over-ear headphones with active noise-cancellation. They pack German-engineered 45mm drivers that promise to deliver a detailed and balanced sound. There’s support for high-resolution Bluetooth codecs, including aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless. And they are also the brand’s first pair of wireless headphones to have a replaceable battery, ensuring that the product has a long lifespan. Available in white or black finishes.

Arcam has introduced new-and-improved versions of its A5, A15 and A25 stereo integrated amplifiers, which were just released in 2023. The “Plus” versions feature updated circuitry and better power management, resulting in superior performance. Each model still supports Bluetooth, allowing you to stream music to your system, but they now support aptX Lossless, LE Audio and Auracast. And the two larger amplifiers, the A15+ and A25+, how feature HDMI eARC, so you can integrated them into home theater setup.

Sony’s IER-EX15C are in-ear wired headphones with a USB-C connection, making them ideal for use with today’s smartphones and laptops. They feature compact 5mm drivers and an in-line remote for controlling volume and playback. Additionally, its textured cable serrated finish is designed to prevent tangling. At just $30, you can think of it as a hassle-free alternative to your AirPods or wireless headphones. Available in four colors: black, white, blue and pink.  

JBL’s Boombox is the largest portable rugged Bluetooth speaker that the company makes — note, this is not counting its line of Party speakers, which are massive. The Boombox 4 is an upgraded version of the Boombox 3, which was released in 2022. It features the same boombox-style design, but is two pounds lighter and promises 50 percent more power. Additionally, JBL enhanced it with new audio technologies, such as AI Sound Boost and Auracast (for multi-room functionality). It also supports lossless audio playback via a wired USB-C connection. Available in four finishes: black, blue, white and camo.

Mophie’s desktop accessory serves dual purposes, acting as both an upside-down headphone stand for Apple’s AirPods Max and a charging station. Inside one of the earcup cradles is a special dongle that magnetically connects to the AirPods Max and wirelessly charges them — note, it only works with the new AirPods Max with a USB-C charging port. Additionally, there’s a Qi2 wireless charging pad on its base that can simultaneously charge your AirPods or iPhone.

The DJI Mic 3 is the brand’s latest and most advanced wireless microphone system, designed specifically for content creators. Like its predecessor, the 2024-released Mic 2, the Mic 3 ships with two transmitters, one receiver and a charging case to hold them. However, the Mic 3 system is roughly half the size and weight of the Mic 2, and DJI upgraded it with superior performance, more internal storage and new features, such as adaptive gain controls and voice tone presets. As of August 2025, price and availability info have yet to be revealed.

Marshall’s Bromley 750 is the British audio manufacturer’s first-ever party speaker, which basically just means it’s a really large portable Bluetooth speaker with inputs for connecting microphones or instruments. The speaker plays 360-degree sound and promises more than 40 hours of playtime on a single charge. It also has integrated stage lighting (as seen in the above photo), which looks pretty cool. Additionally, it has a built-in handle and wheels to help you get from place to place — it weighs 52 pounds, after all.

Bose announced the second-generation versions of its flagship noise-cancelling wireless earbuds earlier this summer, but they’re finally available. As far as looks and features, they don’t stray too far away from the 2023-released originals. However, Bose upgraded in several key ways. They promise even better adaptive noise-cancellation thanks to new and improved AI, as well as superior call clarity. The case now supports wireless charging. They also have new ear tips that feature a built-in wax guard to prevent buildup and audio degradation. Available in three colors: Black, White Smoke and Deep Plum.

Fi’s Mini is a GPS pet tracker designed for cats and small dogs. It works similarly to Fi’s current smart dog collar, the Series 3+, but it’s smaller and clips onto your pet’s existing collar. In addition to tracking your pet’s location (using Verizon’s LTE-M cell network), the Mini works as a wearable device for your pet, tracking activity, sleep, and certain behavioral features (powered by AI), such as barking, eating, drinking and scratching. Like its other trackers, the Mini uses a subscription payment plan, which costs roughly $129/year.

Level’s Lock Pro is its new flagship smart lock. Like its predecessor, the 2022-released Lock Plus, the Lock Pro is designed to blend into your home and work seamlessly with Apple’s smart home ecosystem. However, the new model has been upgraded in several important ways. It features a faster processor and double the battery life (largely thanks to a new motion sensor). It has new sensors for detecting whether the door is open or closed without the use of external magnet stickers. Most significantly, it adds Matter and Thread, meaning it’s compatible with all smart home ecosystems (including Apple’s).

Gadhouse’s Wesley are affordable wired hi-fi headphones that resemble those paired with an old-school Walkman — according to the brand, they’ve been designed to “channel a golden age of portable music listening: the 1980s.” The headphones are lightweight and highly adjustable, and support lossless audio up to 48kHz. They also come with USB-C, 3.5mm and 6.3mm adapters, so you can use them with various source devices.

After six long years, Ricoh has finally introduced a new model to its popular GR line of compact cameras. Compared to the 2019-released GR III, the GR IV is subtly thinner and shorter, yet still retains the same overall design as the original film GR from the 90s. However, it features an upgraded 26-megapixel sensor and a new lens that has been redesigned for speed. Ricoh also revamped the controls, brought back the built-in flash, and gave the GR IV a few other little improvements. Unfortunately, these upgrades come at a steep cost. The GR IV costs $1,499, which is $600 more than the $899 GR III.  

Dali is a luxury hi-fi manufacturer best known for its extremely expensive loudspeakers — think upwards of $100,000. Its newest bookshelf speakers, named Kupid, are a step in a way more affordable direction. According to the brand, they represent “a new entry point to genuine hi-fi sound.” The passive bookshelf speakers are designed to work with most amplifiers and come in five different fun finishes: Black Ash, Walnut, Caramel White, Golden Yellow and Chilly Blue.

The Wrensilva Larrabee Creator Edition M1 is a special-edition version of the company’s M1 that, as its name suggests, was created to celebrate the 55-year history of Larrabee Studios. To create this special-edition M1, Wrensilva collaborated with Manny Marroquin, the 18-time Grammy-winning mix engineer. The main differences between this special-edition and stock M1s are in the details — this creator edition model features design elements and accents that pay homage to the Larrabee Studios and Marroquin. Like the stock M1, this special-edition model is a complete vinyl hi-fi system, comprised of an audiophile turntable, solid-state electronics and a custom two-way loudspeaker system. It also supports streaming and is “Works with Sonos” certified, making it a more modern wireless system as well.

Google’s Pixel 10 features three non-foldable smartphones: the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL. The thing to know is the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro are the same size, but the latter has a nicer display, camera and specs. While the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL are largely the same, the latter features a larger screen. Compared to their last-gen predecessors, the most notable upgrade comes to the Pixel 10 — for the first time, Google has given its base smartphone a triple camera system. As for the two Pros, both have a newer Tensor G5 chip and support for Qi2 wireless charging.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is the company’s next-gen foldable smartphone and the star of its Pixel 10 lineup. The most unique aspect of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is that it holds the distinction of being the only foldable device with an IP68 rating, meaning it’s completely protected from both dust and water. Compared to last year’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the new model has a faster processor, smaller bezels and a larger front display.

Google’s next-generation smartwatch, the Pixel Watch 4, has numerous upgrades over last year’s Pixel Watch 3. It features a brighter, curvier “domed” display with thinner bezels — the brand claims this gives it a 10 percent larger visible screen area. It also has a longer battery life and supports faster charging. It comes in two sizes, 41mm and 45mm, and is available for preorder now. Shipping starts October 9th.

The Sony Inzone E9 are the brand’s first in-ear monitors specifically designed for gaming. They’ve been developed and tuned by FNATIC, a professional esports brand, and support 360 Spatial Sound. They also have a fully enclosed structure, combined with noise-isolating tips, that promises to do an excellent job of blocking out outside noises. Available in white (shown) or black.

Google Pixel Buds 2A are the newest wireless earbuds in the brand’s budget-friendly A-Series. Compared to their 2021-released predecessors, the Pixel Buds 2A now feature Google’s latest Tensor A1 chip, which gives them support for both active noise-cancellation and transparency modes. And while still relatively affordable, they’re $30 more expensive than the previous models. Available in two finishes: black and purple. They start shipping in October 2025.

Wyze’s Duo Cam Pan is a smart home security camera that combines two 2K cameras into a single unit. The bottom one is a fixed camera with a wide field of view, while the top one is a pan-and-tilt camera that spins 360 degrees, and you can control it from your smartphone. The idea is that between the two cameras, you effectively have no blind spots, and you can see everything in the area. The Duo Cam Pan is suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

The Insta360 Go Ultra is the company’s latest addition to its Go series of compact action cameras. Like the others, the Go Ultra has a two-piece modular system comprised of a thumb-sized camera that pops out of a rectangular body (called the “Action Pod”) with a viewfinder; you can attach the smaller camera to a mount or item of clothing and then view what it’s capturing on the viewfinder. Compared to its predecessor, last year’s Go 3S, the Go Ultra’s smaller camera has a new design — it’s more square than pill-shaped — and thus is slightly larger. This increased size has allowed Insta360 to give it a bigger battery and a microSD card slot (instead of relying on built-in storage). More importantly, it features a larger 1/1.28-inch sensor and is capable of shooting 4K videos at 60fps (the Go 3S maxed out at 4K 30fps). It also features a new ambient light sensor, which should improve its performance in low-light situations.

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 FE are redesigned and more affordable versions of the Galaxy Buds 3 from last year. The “Fan Edition” wireless earbuds still have the AirPod-like stem (or “blade”) design of their predecessors, but they now work with swappable ear tips to help you get a better fit. They also boast improved call quality and a longer-lasting battery. They support active noise-cancellation, too. Available in two colors: black or gray (shown).

The Antigravity A1 is Insta360’s first-ever drone, and it’s unique for several reasons. First, it features two ultra-wide cameras, one located on its roof and one on its underside, allowing it to capture an immersive 360-degree video. Two, it’s also the first drone capable of recording 8K video. And three, it comes with the necessary goggles and a handheld controller to fly it at no extra cost.

Fender’s American Ultra Luxe Vintage series features reimagined and modernized versions of five of the brand’s classic Stratocasters and Telecasters from the 1950s and 1960s.

Best known for its Vive virtual reality headsets, HTC is entering the smart glasses category to compete with Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses and Amazon’s Echo Frames. The Vive Eagle is a stylish pair of shades with an integrated 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera that can be used to take photos and videos. There are built-in mics and speakers for listening to music and answering calls. And, since it’s integrated with the company’s virtual assistant, you can use “Hey Vive” voice commands to do things like play music, get restaurant recommendations, or take photos and videos. Pricing and US availability info have yet to be released.

Apple infamously hasn’t brought wireless charging to its iPad line, but this nifty charging cable seemingly does just that. The Kuxiu M30 magnetically attaches to the Smart Connector pins on the back of the iPad Pro or Air, which are typically used to connect its various accessories, and charges it at up to 35 watts. This allows you to charge the iPad while also freeing up its USB-C port, so you can simultaneously connect other accessories, such as an SSD or your camera. Note: no wall adapter is included, so you’ll have to provide your own.

Noble Audio’s Kronos are the Texas-based hi-fi maker’s newest flagship in-ear monitors (IEMs). They’re designed to be very similar to the company’s extremely limited-edition Chronicle ($6,130) — of which only 118 were made — as the two IEMs share a similar nine-driver array paired with a six-way crossover system. The result is a dynamic and expansive sound in a pair of easy-to-drive headphones (impedance is under 35 ohms). Additionally, the earbuds are beautifully designed, with precision CNC-machined titanium shells and titanium damascus-finished faceplates (similar to that of a custom knife). According to the brand, the Kronos IEMs are “designed to satisfy audiophiles, collectors, and enthusiasts alike.”

The Grand Luna are the Portland-based hi-fi maker’s first pair of in-ear monitors with a planar-balanced armature hybrid driver configuration — they combine a 14mm planar magnetic driver with two precision-tuned balanced armatures. This allows them to deliver a rich, immersive sound with a wide frequency range (5Hz to 30kHz). Additionally, they have a new modular cable system that comes with three interchangeable terminators (3.5mm, 4.4mm, and USB-C DAC), so you can use them with various sources.

TP-Link’s BE3600 is the company’s first travel router that supports Wi-Fi 7 speeds. It’s designed bring fast, dependable internet with you on your travels. It connects to public Wi-Fi, whether at your hotel or the airport, and then you can wirelessly connect all your devices to the router without having to sign in to a Wi-Fi login page or go through those captive portals multiple times. It also supports most VPNs, ensuring you browse the web in private. It lacks a built-in battery, but can be charged via a portable power bank or even a laptop. (Note: Amazon drops the price by $30 if you use the promo code.)

The Miles Record Player is a super-affordable all-in-one turntable designed to make listening to vinyl easy. It’s a plug-and-play turntable with a built-in speaker. Additionally, it features two-way Bluetooth, allowing you to stream music from your smartphone when not listening to vinyl, or stream vinyl to your wireless headphones or a Bluetooth speaker. The record player supports three speeds for 33 ⅓, 45 and 78 RPM records. It comes in one walnut-and-gold finish.

The DJI Osmo 360 is the company’s first entry into the 360-degree action camera space. It features an industry-first square HDR sensor and is capable of recording videos at up to 8K at 50fps, including 4K videos at 100fps — the brand claims that it sets a “new standard for video resolution in 360 cameras.” It can also capture 120-megapixel 360-degree stills. Additionally, the Osmo 360 has a super compact and lightweight body, weighing just 183 grams. And it’s compatible with several accessories (such as a battery extension rods, selfie sticks, mounts and lens protections), which DJI sells separately.

As its name gives away, Sharge’s Retractable 3-in-1 Power Bank is a versatile little gadget with a signature transparent design. It can function as a 10,000mAh portable battery or, thanks to its foldable prongs, a 30-watt power adapter. Its battery can be recharged by plugging it directly into the wall — no extra cables required. That said, it does have a retractable USB-C cable that stretches 27 inches (long!) for charging your USB-C gadgets. Additionally, it has a small LED dot-matrix display that tells you how much battery life it has left.

Apple still doesn’t sell a portable MagSafe power bank with a USB-C charging port, so Anker has stepped in. The Nano MagGo is a super-thin portable power bank with a 5,000mAh capacity that magnetically attaches to your iPhone (12 or later) and wirelessly charges it. It’s capable of wirelessly charging your iPhone at up to 15 watts, but you can use a wired USB-C connection to charge it at up to 20 watts. Available in four different finishes: colors: white, black, rose or blue.

Elgato’s Facecam 4K is a USB-C webcam that can deliver true 4K resolution at 60fps — and it’s seemingly a more affordable successor to the brand’s Facecam Pro, which was released in 2022 and cost $300. Most notably, the Facecam 4K is the first webcam to support any 49mm lens filter, allowing you to bring cinematic effects or just reduce glare and reflections (via a circular polarizer filter) to your webcam. These filters screw just like a lens filter for a DSLR camera.

Netgear’s Orbi 370 Series is the company’s most affordable Wi-FI 7 mesh router system to date. It starts at $250 for a two-pack, featuring a router and one mesh satellite. A three-pack, which adds an extra satellite, costs $350. The system promises Wi-Fi speeds of up to 5 Gbps. And it’s compatible with all internet service providers.

Quad, the legendary British hi-fi manufacturer, has released six-generation versions of its iconic ESL electrostatic loudspeakers, which date back to the late 1950s. Compared to the fifth-gen predecessors, which were last updated in 2012, the ESL 2812X and ESL 2912X feature updated electrostatic panels, redesigned audio transformers, and a new “stealthy” aesthetic. Quad claims that these are the best ESL loudspeakers it has ever made.

Twelve South’s PowerBug is a portable MagSafe charger that plugs right into the wall outlet. It doesn’t take up any space on a desk or tabletop. It doesn’t require any charging cables. It’s small enough not to block the usage of any other wall outlets. And it supports StandBy mode. Additionally, it features a USB-C charging port capable of delivering up to 35 watts of power, allowing you to charge a second device. If charging two devices simultaneously, it splits the power 20 watts (USB-C) and 15 watts (wireless). It’s available in two colors: white or black.

Nothing’s budget-friendly gadget company’s latest smartwatch, the CMF Watch 3 Pro, has some welcome improvements over last year’s Watch 2 Pro. It boasts a new heart rate sensor, improved GPS tracking and a variety of new fitness features (including AI coaching) for casual runners. It has a 10-percent bigger AMOLED screen with thinner bezels. It also features an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, a feature its predecessor lacked. Available in three colors: dark grey, light grey and orange.

The Asus ProArt Display PA32QCV is a 32-inch 6K monitor compatible with Macs, and at $1,299, it is positioned as an affordable alternative to Apple’s $4,999 Pro Display XDR.

The StackPack is a trio of acoustic panels (called Sound Blocks), two designed for high-frequency diffusion and one for low-frequency absorption, stacked on top of each other and configured in a tower formation. Like other foam panels, the StackPack is meant to help absorb unwanted acoustic reflections, ensuring your room and hi-fi or home theater system sound their best. What’s unique is that the top two Sound Blocks have wooden accent plates — available in three styles, Beech Noir, White Hot and Dusky Fawn — so that they look nice and better blend into your room’s decor. The StackPack can be free-standing or wall-mounted, and, as part of a modular system, it affords you the flexibility to configure or expand the system as needed.

A boon for digital comic book lovers everywhere, Amazon’s full-color Kindle got an update that brings the price down by $30. It still boasts the same high-contrast Colorsoft display, adjustable lighting, quick page turns and weeks of battery life. So what’s the trade-off? Well, the onboard storage drops to 16 GB from 32. On the flipside, that’s still enough space to hold literally thousands of full-color comics, books and more. And you can always delete what you’re not using, so it shouldn’t really be noticeable unless you’re a digital hoarder.

This is a GaN wall charger with a slim design, foldable prongs and dual USB-C ports. It’s capable of outputting 67 watts through one port, making it powerful enough to charge a laptop, or 45 watts and 20 watts when using both USB-C ports. It features a soft-touch exterior, which the brand claims gives it a “premium feel.” And it’s available in three color finishes: Black, Sand or Desert Rose.

Anker’s Nano Charging Station plugs into the wall and is capable of distributing 100 watts of power, allowing it to charge four devices simultaneously. It features USB-C and USB-A ports on its side, as well as three AC outlets on the back. However, the most notable feature is its two retractable USB-C cables, which can extend up to 2.3 feet in length. It also features a 1.3-inch LCD display that displays charging information and indicates which ports/outlets are in use.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the newest foldable smartphone in Samsung’s higher-end and more productivity-focused Fold series. And it promises to be quite the upgrade over last year’s Fold 6. The new model features a significantly thinner and lighter design, but both its cover and internals are larger, with thinner bezels, compared to the previous year’s model. It also features a faster processor and an upgraded rear camera system — specifically, Samsung has equipped it with the same 200-megapixel wide-angle camera found on its Galaxy S25 Ultra. The only real downside is that Samsung increased the price by $100.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 series features two smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 8 is an updated version of last year’s Watch 7, while the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, which is a fancier version that has a rotating bezel, is a new and improved version of the last Classic, which was released two years prior. Both models have a new design with squared edges (similar to the Galaxy Watch Ultra), brighter displays, faster processors, and, most curiously, a new Antioxidant Index that can tell if you’re eating enough fruits and vegetables. On the downside, Samsung increased the price of the Watch 8 by $50.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the company’s sixth-generation clamshell-style foldable smartphone. It maintains a similar look and feel to last year’s Flip 6, but has several notable upgrades. The most obvious is its cover screen, which Samsung calls the FlexWindow, is significantly larger (4.1 inches vs last year’s 3.4 inches), faster (now with a 120Hz refresh rate), and more usable. Then, when you open the phone up, its 6.9-inch display is bigger than before, too. Samsung also upgraded it with a faster chipset and a larger battery. The only downside is that it maintains the same rear and selfie camera systems as last year’s models. Price has not changed.

The Razer DeathAdder V4 Pro is a new and improved version of one of the company’s most popular gaming mice, the 2022-released Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro. The “V4” has a similar lightweight and ergonomic design to its predecessor, but it promises to be even lighter, faster, and more accurate. The main upgrade is that Razor opted for an optical scroll wheel instead of a mechanical one — which is a first for any Razer mouse — which the brand says “offers triple the durability and consistent, tactile control even under intense gameplay.” The mouse is available in black or white.

Aqara’s G410 is a video doorbell that works with most major smart home ecosystems, including Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Apple Home — in fact, it’s one of the few video doorbells to support HomeKit Secure Video. The G410 features a 2K sensor and offers a 175-degree field of view, allowing it to capture more of your front porch. Additionally, it’s one of the first video doorbells to have an mmWave sensor, which should more accurately tell when somebody is at your door (and prevent false alerts). It supports wireless (with  replaceable batteries) or hardwired installations.

The Headphones 1 are Nothing’s first-ever pair of wireless over-ear headphones. They have a similar striking design with transparent elements as the brand’s smartphones and wireless earbuds. And, most interestingly, Nothing partnered with KEF, the British hi-fi maker, to ensure that the headphones sound great. Additionally, the Headphones have active noise-cancellation and transparency modes. And they promise up to 35 hours of battery with ANC turned on.

Orange Amps, the iconic British amplifier manufacturer, has released its first-ever turntable. The O Turntable is a high-quality belt-drive turntable with a built-in phono preamplifier. It features premium components, headlined by Orange’s own custom moving-magnet cartridge. It has a minimalist design with a glossy white finish. It also comes with a slipmat that bears the company’s “Voice of the World” crest.

Nothing’s Phone 3 is the company’s first true flagship smartphone. It maintains the standout transparent design of its predecessors, but it’s built with more premium materials, features an upgraded processor (Snapdragon 8S Gen 4), and has a flagship-worthy triple-camera system on its back. One significant change from Nothing’s other smartphones is that, instead of a Glyph interface (an array of customizable light strips on its back), the Phone 3 features a small circular LED display in the top-right corner of its back, which it calls the Glyph Matrix. This can show little images or emojis to give you an idea of what kind of notification you’ve received without having to flip the phone over. Also, unlike Nothing’s most recent smartphones, the Phone 3 will actually be available for purchase in the US.

The Ikarao Break X1 is a beast of a portable speaker and karaoke machine. It features three drivers, including two 2.6-inch tweeters and one 6.5-inch subwoofer, and delivers 460 watts of power. But what’s most interesting is on the inside. The top of the speaker flips open to reveal a 13.3-inch tablet display, which can rotate 180 degrees, running an Android operating system and displaying song lyrics and music videos. Hidden inside are also two super-cardioid microphones for your aforementioned karaoke sessions. (Note, Ikarao makes two smaller versions of this speaker, the Break X2 and Shell 1, for those looking for a more budget-friendly option.)

The Marshall Middleton II is an updated version of its 2023-released Middleton, and the company is calling it its most powerful portable speaker to date. It has a near-identical compact design to its predecessor, but the second-gen speaker boasts a longer-lasting battery (now rated at over 30 hours) and better and more immersive audio. It also has a built-in microphone to give it speakerphone functionality. Other features include a durable IP67-rated body and USB-C power output, so you can use it to charge your smartphone. It’s available in two colors: cream or black.

To celebrate the brand’s 100-year history, Leica has launched a series of exclusive “100 Years of Leica” edition cameras, with the Leica M11-D being the standout. The special-edition rangefinder camera features the same guts as the standard M11, including a 60-megapixel full-frame CMOS image sensor and Maestro III processor. Still, it comes with two interchangeable lenses, the Leica Summilux-M 50 f/1.4 ASPH and the Leitz Anastigmat-M 50 f/3.5, the latter of which is a reimagined version of the fixed Leitz Anastigmat 50mm f/3.5 lens that came with the 1925-released Leica I. It also features some aesthetic changes, including brass top and bottom plates, and a black paint finish that resembles the original Leica I. With the purchase, Leica includes several accessories (carry strap and SD card case) for the camera and houses it all in beautiful glossy black wooden box.
