Another week down, and, per usual, a bunch of new tech and gadgets have been announced.
This past week, Bang & Olufsen introduced a sculptural Dolby Atmos soundbar, Technics revealed a “Master Edition” version of its iconic turntable, and Focal announced a new flagship Mu-so wireless speaker. 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.

Noble AudioNoble Audio Fokus Prestige Encore
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.

Insta360Insta360 X4 Air
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.
