A street performance or bustling market can look great on your phone and still lose much of its atmosphere in the recording. Sony’s tiny USB-C microphone captures sound from every direction, giving viewers a better sense of where they are standing, even when they are listening through headphones.
Pompompurin’s floppy ears and brown beret belong on his head. Razer thinks they belong on yours, too. Its latest Sanrio additions turn a wireless headset into something instantly recognizable, while Kuromi’s skull emblem makes it onto the tiny earbud stems. Nobody needs to inspect the packaging to identify this collaboration.
You would think a Hello Kitty headphone collaboration would put her face somewhere on the headphones. Sony has other ideas. Its limited-edition collection saves the ears, bow, and character details for the accessories, leaving fans with some very cute bags and a familiar pair of cans.
Finding a pistol that suits your hand shouldn’t mean expecting your fingers to adapt. SIG SAUER’s new P385 pairs adjustable grip dimensions with five model choices. There’s also a new recoil system, with SIG claiming at least 20 percent less muzzle rise, depending on the version.
Coaster fans traveled to Georgia for ArieForce One’s relentless airtime and four inversions, only to lose the ride after three years. Six Flags has bought it and plans to keep its name. Fans can look forward to another ride, but which park gets it is still under wraps.

Leave those parts off for a tamer display, or attach them to bring back an unsettling moment from the film.
You know the rubber chicken that screams when you squeeze its belly? Godzilla now has his own version. MaxLimited’s rubber kaiju comes as Shin Godzilla or Kamata-kun, complete with a comically gaping mouth and a roar triggered by a belly squeeze. Choosing between them might be the difficult part.
Godzilla has already lent his likeness to burgers and ramen. At Nijigen no Mori, he becomes a cream puff with tiny eyes and an overflowing filling. The unusual dessert returns alongside the park’s Godzilla Minus One exhibition, giving fans another way to meet the kaiju before eating him.
Godzilla has appeared on plenty of collectibles, but now you can take him onto a pickleball court. Pickleball One’s Godzilla Cyclone carries the monster on both faces, with atomic-breath-inspired edges and a grip patterned after his skin. It is made to play, though I would be tempted to keep it pristine.
