The earbuds each have an 8mm driver and polycarbonate housings, and are poised to play high-resolution audio files. They charge via USB-C and support wireless charging.

Wyze Headphones

These are Wyze's first noise-canceling headphones — and first consumer audio product of any kind, to be fair — and their main selling point is price. They cost just $50. However Wyze promises that they'll push well-above their weight, sounding more like $200 headphones. They have two modes, active noise-cancellation (ANC) and transparency modes, but there's mode to have both off (which is probably is to save some costs). The Wyze Headphones are available for preorder right now and will ship this November.

Dell announced a high-end monitor to complete with Apple's ProDisplay XDR for the attention of creative professionals. It's the same size (32-inches) and same price ($5,000), but the real selling point of the Dell UltraSharp 32 HDR PremierColor is that it has 2,000 mini-LED backlit dimming zone — it's first-ever 4K monitor to be able to create such colors and contrast.

Bang & Olufsen

The Beogram 4000c is a revived and upgraded version of Bang & Olufsen's iconic Beogram 4000 turntable from the 1970s. It looks very similar to the old classic — in fact it's made with many of the same parts — but Bang & Olufsen updated it with some modern touches, like a RIAA phono pre-amplifier and a new high-performance stylus, to bring up to present day hi-fi standards. However, Bang & Olufsen is only making 95 of them. And they're selling for $11,000 a pop.
