Another week down, and, per usual, a bunch of new tech and gadgets have been announced.
This past week, Sony announced its latest camera, Andover Audio introduced its first-ever portable Bluetooth speaker, and Shanling came out with an iPod Nano-looking portable hi-fi player. 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.
Sony
Sony RX10 V
The Sony RX10 V is the long-awaited successor to the company’s 2017-released RX10 IV. Like its predecessor, the RX10 V is a compact camera with a 20.1MP 1-inch stacked sensor and incredible zoom capabilities thanks to a 24-600mm optical zoom lens. But nine years is a long time in the camera world, and Sony updated the RX10 V with a brand new processor and advanced AI-tracking capabilities. The result is a camera that’s way faster and has a far superior autofocus system. Plus, it’s much better at capturing video (now up to 4K at 120 fps). The downside? It starts at $2,300, which is a big leap up from its predecessor’s $1,700.
Final Audio
Final DX10000 CL
The Final DX10000 CL is the company’s new flagship pair of closed-back wired headphones. They’re built around a newly developed 40mm True Diamond diaphragm dynamic driver, designed to combat the resonance and coloration that typically hinder closed-back headphones. According to the brand, the headphones are “designed for listeners who want a private, immersive and physically engaging listening experience, with the clarity, tonal accuracy and resolution expected from a true flagship audiophile product.”
Ruark Audio
Ruark R410 Anniversary Edition
The Ruark R410 Anniversary Edition is a special-edition version of the company’s all-in-one wireless speaker, released to celebrate the British hi-fi maker’s 40th anniversary. It’s identical in pretty much every way to the standard R410, but the Anniversary Edition speaker has a white oak cabinet with ebonized inlay and grille. Only 500 special-edition R410 speakers will be made.
Fiio
Fiio FG3
The Fiio FG3 is the company’s first-ever gaming headset. It’s built around a coaxial driver arrangement comprising a 50mm dynamic driver for low and midrange frequencies and a 16mm dynamic driver for high frequencies. The company says this driver arrangement extends the frequency response of the FG3 from 10 Hz to 40 kHz, while also “improving detail retrieval across the audio spectrum.” The headset is compatible with all major consoles, including the PlayStation 5, both Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch 2, as well as the latest Windows PCs and smartphones.
