Another week down, and, per usual, a bunch of newtech and gadgetshave been announced.
This past week, Sonus faber introduced a pair of $78,000 loudspeakers, Marshall revealed its first-ever party speaker, and Level announced a next-gen smart lock for Apple smart homes. 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.
Sonus faberSonus faber Amati Supreme
Sonus faber’s Amati Supreme is the brand’s high-end compact floorstanding loudspeaker. They have a 4.5-way design and, most notably, they are integrated with the same advanced “Voice of Sonus faber” (VOS) driver array — comprised of a tweeter, super tweeter and Camelia midrange driver — that’s featured in itsflagship Suprema loudspeakers, which go for around $750,000. According to the brand, the loudspeakers blend “advanced engineering with Italian craftsmanship to achieve exceptional performance in a beautifully compact floor-standing silhouette.”
DJIDJI Mic 3
The DJI Mic 3 is the brand’s latest and most advanced wireless microphone system, designed specifically for content creators. Like its predecessor, the 2024-released Mic 2, the Mic 3 ships with two transmitters, one receiver and a charging case to hold them. However, the Mic 3 system is roughly half the size and weight of the Mic 2, and DJI upgraded it with superior performance, more internal storage and new features, such as adaptive gain controls and voice tone presets. As of August 2025, price and availability info have yet to be revealed.

BoseBose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
Bose announced the second-generation versions of its flagship noise-cancelling wireless earbuds earlier this summer, but they’re finally available. As far as looks and features, they don’t stray too far away from the 2023-released originals. However, Bose upgraded in several key ways. They promise even better adaptive noise-cancellation thanks to new and improved AI, as well as superior call clarity. The case now supports wireless charging. They also have new ear tips that feature a built-in wax guard to prevent buildup and audio degradation. Available in three colors: Black, White Smoke and Deep Plum.
$299 at Bose
MarshallMarshall Bromley 750
Marshall’s Bromley 750 is the British audio manufacturer’s first-ever party speaker, which basically just means it’s a really large portable Bluetooth speaker with inputs for connecting microphones or instruments. The speaker plays 360-degree sound and promises more than 40 hours of playtime on a single charge. It also has integrated stage lighting (as seen in the above photo), which looks pretty cool. Additionally, it has a built-in handle and wheels to help you get from place to place — it weighs 52 pounds, after all.
$1,300 at Marshall
BluesoundBluesound Pulse Cinema
Bluesound’s Pulse Cinemais the Canadian hi-fi maker’s new flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar. It features a 3.2.2-channel design with 16 total drivers, including a center channel, dual 4-inch woofers, and dedicated upfiring drivers, and is capable of outputting 500 watts of total power. It works with Bluesound’s BluOS platform, allowing it to be grouped in a larger multi-room system and stream high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz over Wi-Fi. Additionally, Bluesound’s other wireless speakers can be configured as rear satellites, so you can turn this one-box soundbar into a full-fledged surround sound system.
$1,499 at Bluesound
BluesoundBluesound Pulse Cinema Mini
Bluesound’s Pulse Cinema Mini is a smaller Dolby Atmos soundbar than the brand’s Pulse Cinema. It’s a 2.1-channel soundbar featuring eight total drivers and capable of delivering 280 watts of power. According to the brand, the Pulse Cinema Mini “brings the same thoughtful design and advanced acoustic engineering to smaller-sized spaces and secondary TVs, making it the perfect sound system for bedrooms, dens, or condos.”
$999 at Bluesound
iFi AudioiFi Go blu Air
iFi’s Go blu Air is a portable Bluetooth DAC and headphone amplifier, similar to the brand’s current Go blu ($199). It essentially lets you use your wired headphones as wireless ones, and also gives them an audio boost. The main thing with the Go blu Air is its size — less than two inches long and weighing only 30 grams, it’s basically the same size as a thumb drive. It also comes with a detachable magnetic clip, allowing you to attach it to a pocket, belt loop or bag strap.
$129 at iFi Audio
FiFi Mini
Fi’s Mini is a GPS pet tracker designed for cats and small dogs. It works similarly to Fi’s current smart dog collar, the Series 3+, but it’s smaller and clips onto your pet’s existing collar. In addition to tracking your pet’s location (using Verizon’s LTE-M cell network), the Mini works as a wearable device for your pet, tracking activity, sleep, and certain behavioral features (powered by AI), such as barking, eating, drinking and scratching. Like its other trackers, the Mini uses a subscription payment plan, which costs roughly $129/year.

LevelLevel Lock Pro
Level’s Lock Pro is its new flagship smart lock. Like its predecessor, the 2022-released Lock Plus, the Lock Pro is designed to blend into your home and work seamlessly with Apple’s smart home ecosystem. However, the new model has been upgraded in several important ways. It features a faster process and double the battery life (largely thanks to a new motion sensor). It has new sensors for detecting whether the door is open or closed without the use of external magnet stickers. Most significantly, it adds Matter and Thread, meaning it’s compatible with all smart home ecosystems (including Apple’s).
$349 at Level
AudioengineAudioengine Desktop Flex Kit
The Desktop Flex Kit features two different Audioengine components: the N22 (Gen 2) desktop amplifier and a passive version of its A2+ computer speakers, the latter of which the brand doesn’t even sell. Aside from being rare, the other neat thing about the speakers is that Audioengine is including them at no additional cost — that’s right, the kit (which includes the amp) and the amp by itself both cost $269. The only real caveat is that Audioengine is only selling a very limited amount (so act fast).

GadhouseGadhouse Wesley
Gadhouse’s Wesley are affordable wired hi-fi headphones that resemble those paired with an old-school Walkman — according to the brand, they’ve been designed to “channel a golden age of portable music listening: the 1980s.” The headphones are lightweight and highly adjustable, and support lossless audio up to 48kHz. They also come with USB-C, 3.5mm and 6.3mm adapters, so you can use them with various source devices.
