6 Cool New Gadgets to Keep on Your Radar

As its name suggests, the Leica Q3 Monochrom is a variant of the company’s 2023-released Q3 that captures only black-and-white photos and videos. The fixed-lens full-frame digital camera has the same specs as the Q3, including a 60-megapixel sensor, support for 8K video, a hybrid autofocus system and an electronic viewfinder that flips and tilts. The only real differences are that it has a higher ISO range (maxing out at 200,000) and it’s the first Q-series camera to support Leica’s Content Credentials, which allow you to prove that an image hasn’t been altered. This monochrome upgrade comes at a premium, however, as it costs over $1,000 more than the color-capable Q3.

Klipsch’s ProMedia Lumina is a reimagining of the company’s original ProMedia desktop speaker system, released in 1999. It’s a 2.1-channel system comprised of two compact powered speakers and a wired subwoofer. The speakers have a two-way design, comprised of a one-inch tweeter (integrated with Klipsch’s patented MicroTractrix horn technology) and a three-inch midrange driver, and feature modern technology such as built-in Bluetooth and an integrated LED lighting system.

Mophie has introduced a collection of Qi2 wireless charging stands for your iPhone and various Apple accessories. There are four stands in total — the Wireless Charging Stand ($45), 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand for iPhone and AirPods ($60), 2-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand for iPhone and Apple Watch ($80), and 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Stand for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods ($100) — each of which features a premium build and compact design, making them a good fit for your desk or nightstand.

Bowers & Wilkins has introduced a special edition version of its Px8 S2, the company’s 2025-released flagship noise-canceling headphones. It partnered with McLaren, the iconic British automotive manufacturer and its Formula 1 racing team, to release a version with a signature McLaren Papaya (a vibrant orange) and Anthracite Grey finish. This new look comes at a $100 premium.

Fiio’s Jade Audio JT7 are what the brand is calling “the most affordable planar headphone in the world.” They cost just $120, which is less than most headphones with planar magnetic drivers, but promise to deliver similar high fidelity over a wider frequency range with extremely low distortion. Additionally, they have a foldable and lightweight design, making them more travel-friendly.

The Lumin X2 is a new flagship streaming DAC that sits above all other products that the company makes — it’s Lumin’s most high-end component to date. Like its predecessor, the 2019-released X1, the X2 combines a music streamer and DAC into a single audio component. It basically brings high-fidelity streaming (from apps like Tidal or Spotify) to your home’s hi-fi system, without needing as many separates. What’s unique about the X2 is its fully custom, discrete DAC architecture, specifically tailored for its streaming engine.
