Sonos has introduced an AI-supported voice enhancement feature with a new update for the Arc Ultra soundbar. The audio specialist is thus taking a significant step towards intelligent audio processing. But what does the technology do? We have tested the innovation and explained what AI can do and why it is exciting for audiophiles.
A headset for the hearing impaired that amplifies sound via dual bone and air conduction is the concept behind Spokeo, a made-in-France invention awarded the Grand Prix at the Lépine 2025 competition, held in Paris from April 30 to May 11. The headset works in conjunction with a Bluetooth microphone. It is designed as a listening assistant for hearing-impaired people and their close ones.
Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 Pro are considered among the best high-end wireless noise-canceling earbuds, but they typically come with a significant price tag. Fortunately, they are currently on sale on Amazon, discounted by 24% or $60 off, bringing the price down to $189, which is their record low.
The Sennheiser Accentum Open were launched in France on Wednesday May 7. These are “open” wireless earphones with no silicone tips, hooks or fins. It’s the same principle as Apple’s AirPods 4 (test), and it’s interesting to see Sennheiser venturing into these waters. The manufacturer usually confines itself to wireless in-ear headphones. It remains to be seen whether this umpteenth, less expensive alternative to the AirPods can really convince.
The Sony WH-1000XM6, the manufacturer’s next high-end Bluetooth headset has leaked. It appeared prematurely for pre-order on Amazon Spain on May 3. The listing has since been removed, and did not include a photo of the product. But, for once, Amazon’s long-winded, keyword-packed titles came in handy. We learned plenty of technical details, a rather bizarre price, and, above all, a long-awaited design change.
Not only is the Pixel 9 series on sale at major retailers, but Google’s latest Pixel Buds Pro 2 are also discounted near their record-low price.

Shokz split the drivers of its latest open-ear earbuds — the OpenFit 2 are said to offer more bass thanks to a 17.3 mm driver. At the same time, battery life has increased up to 11 hours of active music playback, and we can (finally) control our music using physical buttons. This nextpit review reveals whether this pair of $179.95 open-ear earbuds impress in everyday life and during sporting activities!
Finally, a pair of open-ear earbuds that feature some bass! Our first impression of the AeroClip was so impressive that we almost saw them as the salvation of open-ear earbuds for audiophiles. In the course of our nextpit review, however, it became clear to accept some disadvantages when it comes to audio quality. The review reveals what these are and whether the Soundcore AeroClip is worth buying!
If you’re undecided about whether to buy or upgrade to the refreshed Apple AirPods Max over-ear headphones, now might be a good time to consider them. Currently, the noise-canceling headphones are back to their second-best price of $479 on Amazon and Best Buy, saving you 13% or $70.
Most wireless earbuds with premium features come with a hefty price tag. Thankfully, EarFun has emerged as a popular brand, offering capable in-ear headphones that are more affordable than their high-end counterparts. We’re excited to see their latest Air Pro 4 earbuds drop to an attractive $63 from $95, or 35% off the usual.
