While Sony is still officially as silent as a yogi in a monastery, the music of rumors is getting louder. The WF-1000XM6, the next generation of its ultra-popular wireless headphone series, is about to reveal all its sonic secrets. Or at least some of them. And now—while we don't have a release date, a box, or a commercial featuring a Japanese DJ—we already know enough to form a pretty clear (and pretty excited) idea.

The Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S3 are slimmer, more comfortable, and with sound that will make you wonder why you ever made any compromises.
The CMF Buds 2, a new product from CMF under the Nothing brand, are wireless headphones that sound like a high-end product, but cost only €39.95. With an 11mm driver, Dirac Opteo™ technology, 48dB active noise cancellation and a battery that can last up to 55 hours between charges, they offer an exceptional price-performance ratio.
When British design and technology come together, something special happens. This time, Bowers & Wilkins donned the McLaren racing jacket and created the Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 McLaren Edition – wireless headphones that are not only stylish, but also sonic beasts.
Toshiba introduces the AX-RP10(W), an ultra-portable turntable that combines retro aesthetics with wireless freedom. All you need is a cowboy hat.
If you own Sony's WH-1000XM5, then you know what it's like to live in your own sound bubble: legendary active noise cancellation (ANC), fantastic soundstage, and thoughtful features that rival brands are still trying to copy. So the question is: Why would Sony even upgrade something so good and create the Sony WH-1000XM6?
Buying new headphones these days is almost as complicated as finding the perfect balance: you want them to look good, to “hear” you, to be able to silence the world around you… and not cost you half your monthly rent. Of course, you can choose the first AirPods that catch your eye (and out of your ear), or you can venture into a more sophisticated world, where 200 euros still means quality, and not just “luxury at a sale price”. In this zone of “audio comfort” – that is, between 100 and 200 euros – there are unexpectedly many sonic treasures hidden. But, as always, not all headphones are born equal. Some are masterfully balanced, others are irresistible in design, and still others simply stubbornly insist on a 100-hour battery life as if this is completely normal.
Vinyl record straightener. Vinyl enthusiasts, rejoice – Pro-Ject has introduced the Flatten It, a device for straightening curled vinyl records that costs almost as much as a decent turntable. But hey, nothing is too expensive for a true love of analog sound, right?
With the new update, Apple is delivering what it has long promised for the first time: lossless audio, zero latency, and spatial audio that is no longer just a marketing gimmick. But... is this enough to make the AirPods Max 2 2025 a tool and not just a fashion accessory?
When industrial designer Antonio Meze realized over a decade ago that the headphone market wasn’t offering anything that would satisfy his sophisticated taste in sound and design, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Thus was born the Meze Audio brand, which quickly established itself as one of the most respected in the audiophile world. In 2015, they impressed with the Meze 99 Classics model, and the turning point came with the Empyrean, the first high-end planar-magnetic headphones that left the competition far behind – both in quality and price. This time, Meze Audio presents the POET.
The Beats Studio Buds were one of the most popular true wireless headphones in their price range, especially among Apple users. Their minimalist design, powerful bass, and comfort won over the masses, but they also received criticism - mainly for their mediocre call quality and average noise cancellation. Now here are the Beats Studio Buds+, which promise more or less improvements in all the key areas. Better sound quality, better microphones, better noise cancellation, longer battery life - and as a bonus, a transparent version that attracts more views than a desperate TikTok influencer. But do all these improvements actually justify the purchase?
The Xiaomi Redmi Buds 6 Pro are wireless headphones that, starting at €71, offer an exceptional combination of quality sound, long battery life, and advanced noise cancellation. The sound isn't ultra-premium, but it's more than convincing for its price. The ANC doesn't meet industry standards, but it's more than enough for the hustle and bustle of the city.
