Ray-Ban Meta Skyler (Gen 2)
The Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 lineup gets a new look with the Skyler frames, offered as a one-size-fits-all for everyone and anyone. You can also get prescription lenses made for these but only directly through Meta or Ray-Ban. The 12-megapixel ultrawide camera captures 3K video and supports modes like hyperlapse, dynamic photo, and slow motion, giving you some hands-free creative flexibility.
Open-ear speakers handle music and calls while keeping ambient sound audible, though what you’re listening to might spill out to others nearby. That’s something to remember when using Meta AI to ask questions, use live translation, set reminders, and check messages. Battery life can go up to eight hours with moderate use and five hours of continuous audio, both of which are notable longevity upgrades over the first generation.
Sony LinkBuds Clip open-ear wireless earbuds
Sony is getting in on clip-on earbuds with the LinkBuds Clip. They use flexible silicone bands that connect a battery unit behind the ear to the driver in the outer ear—all without sealing the ear canal. This way, you can hear both the audio you’re listening to and catch some of the ambient noise around you. Sony throws in three listening modes you can also access in the Sony Connect app: standard, voice boost for speech, and a sound leakage reduction mode.
You won’t get features like speak-to-chat, wear detection, and 360 Reality Audio, but built-in AI can help isolate your voice during calls for clearer conversations. Battery life can hit nine hours per charge at default volume levels, with the charging case adding another three full charges.
DJI Osmo Pocket 4
There are few devices on the market that can document things on the go the way the DJI Osmo Pocket 4 can. Small, nimble, and very capable in the field, this model keeps the 1-inch CMOS sensor from its predecessor but upgrades slow-motion video to 4K at 240fps, doubling what its predecessor could do. Plus, you now get full 10-bit D-Log colour support if you want to capture more professional-looking footage. Not to mention 14 stops of dynamic range for some real flexibility.
DJI sheds 35% in weight, giving the Pocket 4 a more feathery feel in your hands, while 107GB of built-in storage gives you a head start in recording content. If you want more, you can always use a microSD card instead. Battery life lasts for about 2.5 hours of 4K recording, though it can hit an 80% recharge in just 18 minutes.
Nothing Phone (4a) Pro
Nothing won’t be launching a flagship in 2026, making the mid-range Phone (4a) Pro the brand’s newest viable alternative. A solid Android phone with a 6.83-inch AMOLED display, 5,000 nits peak brightness, and a 144Hz refresh rate, housed in a slick aluminum unibody, it runs on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chip with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
A triple 50-megapixel camera setup will produce better photos than phones of a similar price. It’s that good! Meanwhile, the cool Glyph Matrix on the rear uses 137 mini-LEDs in a nifty way for notifications and a clock display. You don’t get wireless charging but a sizeable battery can handle 50W wired charging to top up fast. IP65-rated dust and water resistance give it some durability while three years of guaranteed Android updates add some software endurance.
Apple AirPods Max 2
Apple’s back with a follow-up to its AirPods Max over-ear headphones, this time with the H2 chip that aims to deliver active noise cancellation (ANC) that’s up to 1.5x more effective than the original pair. Newer features, like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, Live Translation, and Voice Isolation, all come into play as new additions over the first generation, too.
While the general design and weight are virtually unchanged, there’s more going on under the hood to improve overall sound quality courtesy of a new digital signal processor (DSP) algorithm and high dynamic range amplifier—including 24-bit/48kHz lossless audio over USB-C. You’ll also get the same 20-hour max battery life with ANC enabled.
