After 22 and a half hours of building, Bole Brick’s 4,508-piece kit became a remarkably convincing 1:8 recreation of Brian O’Conner’s Toyota Supra—complete with ahem, its movie livery, a 2JZ-GTE engine mini build, working gearbox, and custom lighting.
Optimus Prime’s purple Evangelion makeover is no longer a solo act. For the second Transformers crossover, Rodimus Prime has scanned Unit-02, gaining its red armor, six-eyed stare, and formidable arsenal while retaining the slightly less exciting ability to transform into a cab-over truck.
Aston Martin has built another true roadster, only this one isn’t a car. Developed with Brough Superior, the AMB 002 is the marque’s first street-legal motorcycle, packing 130 hp, a titanium backbone frame, and enough exclusivity to make spotting one nearly impossible.
The Ferrari Luce has divided opinion since its unveiling, with many questioning whether it looks like a Ferrari at all. Vossen’s lowered example, wearing custom G2-13T forged wheels, makes a persuasive case that the controversial EV simply needed better footwear.
EDIFIER is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the WH950NB Pro, combining eight-microphone adaptive ANC, dual drivers, head-tracked Spatial Audio, and up to 70 hours of playback. The design may look oddly familiar, but the feature list is thoroughly modern.
Open-back headphones are prized for spacious sound, but they usually bring cables and enough leakage to share your playlist with the room. Audio-Technica’s ATH-AL5NC tackles both problems with Bluetooth, a Sound Leakage Reduction mode, 53 mm drivers, and up to 75 hours of listening.
Audio-Technica has two answers for anyone tired of charging headphones. The ATH-M20xSTS gives streamers studio-inspired monitoring and a boom microphone that mutes when raised, while the pocket-sized ATH-CKD30C plugs straight into USB-C devices with selectable sound modes and no Bluetooth ceremony.
Sony’s latest headphone refresh starts sensibly: the WH-CH730N offers up to 50 hours of listening with ANC, while the colorful WH-CH530 stretches to 55 hours. Then Hello Kitty walks in, bringing limited-edition bundles, exclusive accessories, and considerably more personality to Sony’s practical new everyday cans.
Six years after the WH-1000XM4 became a noise-cancelling favorite, Sony is giving it another lap. The new WH-1000XM4C preserves the foldable design and famously effective ANC, retunes the sound for modern tastes, adds a 10-band equalizer, and introduces Lavender for anyone tired of serious-looking headphones.
Apple’s open-ear AirPods no longer make you pay extra for noise cancellation. Both AirPods 5 models now get ANC, improved sound, and tougher IP57 protection, while Siri responds to head gestures and Live Translation handles conversations across languages. Volume swipes, wireless charging, and longer battery life remain paid extras.
Apple’s latest watches may know how ready you are before you do. The Ultra 4 and Series 12 combine activity, training load, vitals, and sleep into a daily readiness score, then add longer workout tracking, faster charging, Siri AI, and a coming Live Rewind feature that displays recent conversation as text.
Apple’s first foldable may have stolen the keynote, but the iPhone 18 Pro models brought a hardware trick photographers have waited years to see: a genuinely variable camera aperture. Add the A20 Pro chip, redesigned cooling, longer battery life, and new photo-authenticity tools, and the annual upgrade suddenly looks far less routine.
