Another week down, and, per usual, a bunch of new tech and gadgets have been announced.
This past week, Samsung introduced an innovative portable TV, Bang & Olufsen revealed a special-edition version of its Beolab 90 loudspeaker, and TCL announced a new line of affordable 4K TVs. But that’s just scratching the surface.
Below, we’ve rounded up all the most interesting new releases and announcements you might have missed from the past week.
Bang & Olufsen
Bang & Olufsen Beolab 90 (Titan Edition)
As part of the Danish audio maker’s 100-year anniversary celebrations, it’s releasing a reimagined version of its elite audiophile loudspeakers. The Titan Edition of the Beolab 10 is essentially a stripped-down version of the iconic loudspeaker, as its acoustic veils have been removed to expose the drivers and the raw, hand-finished, precision-milled aluminum surfaces underneath. Bang & Olufsen says that the Titan Edition is “a study in material purity and performance-led design, conceived for collectors and listeners who value both beauty and acoustic mastery.”
The Movingstyle is a 27-inch touchscreen display with a rollable stand, making it essentially a portable TV you can position anywhere in your home. The stand also features a swiveling arm that lets you position the screen in landscape or portrait mode. Additionally, you can take the display off the stand and use it as a tablet. It can work when constantly connected to power, but it also has a 3-hour battery life for the times when you don’t want to worry where to plug in the power cord.
The Eversolo DAC-Z10 is a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can also pull triple duty as a headphone amplifier or a fully balanced preamplifier. Its secret sauce is a proprietary Fully Isolated Architecture (FIA), which fully isolates the digital and analog circuitries to minimize interference and preserve the purity of the audio signal. Each channel — both the left and right — has its own dedicated pair of AKM DAC chips, its own linear power supply, and its own signal paths. According to the brand, this design “not only eliminates channel crosstalk but also enhances dynamic range and resolution.”
Nomad has introduced an upgraded version of its credit card-sized Bluetooth tracker. Just like its “non Pro” predecessor, the Tracking Card Pro works like an AirTag — it’s compatible with Apple’s Find My network — but is shaped to fit better in your wallet. It also supports Qi wireless charging. The two main upgrades with the Pro are that it has a longer battery life (up to 16 months) and has a new design with flat edges, so that it better disguises itself as an actual credit card. On the downside, the Pro is a little bit thicker and is $10 more expensive. Available in black or white.
Andover Audio’s SpinPlay is an all-in-one turntable that’s essentially a more affordable version of the brand’s flagship Andover One ($2,499). It’s built with the brand’s proprietary “IsoGroove” technology, which uses optimized bracing and advanced DSP to minimize unwanted vibrations, so it promises to sound better than most all-in-one turntables. Additionally, it’s actually portable; it has a solid construction and a hardtop cover, so that it can be moved safely and without damage. Available in white or black finishes.
The T7 Series is TCL’s budget-friendly line of QLED 4K TVs. The range comes in multiple different sizes, starting at 55 inches ($600) and going up to 85 inches ($1,400), and each TV packs premium specs, including a 144Hz refresh rate and support for HDR technologies, such as Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The TVs run Google TV. At the time of writing, TCL hasn’t announced an official release date for the range.
Final Audio’s Tonalite are wireless earbuds with active noise-cancellation. Think, rivals to Apple’s AirPods Pros. But they are unique because, according to the brand, they are the “first earphones in the world to offer personalized timbre.” This means that, using a scan of your actual ears, the earbuds can adjust the tone and texture of sound to sound best for your ears.
A storied and respected name in the PC gaming space, Valve-owned Steam is finally making the long-awaited jump to couch gaming with its first plug-and-play console. On the heels of the Steam Deck, this GameCube-like device has up to 2TB of storage, Semi-Custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs, a Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C/12T CPU, 16GB DDR5 and 8GB GDDR6 VRAM and so much more. Sony and Microsoft might be in trouble.
DJI’s Neo 2 is a budget-friendly selfie drone that’s designed to be easy to use and simple to fly — it can take off from your palm and respond to voice commands. Compared to the original Neo, which was released just last year, the second-generation model features improved video quality, a longer battery life and even better object avoidance capabilities. Unfortunately, due to DJI’s looming ban, it doesn’t have a US release date at this time.
Azla’s Ares Clear is a pair of wired earbuds with a unique transparent design that are designed for competitive FPS gamers who “demand both accuracy and all-day comfort.” The earbuds pack a dual-driver system, comprised of a Knowles balanced armature and a dynamic driver, delivering a wide frequency response from 10Hz to 40kHz. They have a Kevlar-reinforced, silver-plated cable with separate mic and audio conductors, designed to deliver great audio for chat. And they cost $119.
