Everything that lets you enjoy audio and visual entertainment ranging from home entertainment systems to media players to TV and more.
Acer brought plenty besides computers to IFA 2026. There’s a paper-like monitor that keeps its image when unplugged, three foldable screens for your laptop, and a projector with a remote that doubles as an AI assistant. New tablets and 5G gear round out the haul.
Your favorite album deserves some attention, even on a crowded train. Cambridge Audio’s Melomania A100 SE pairs hi-fi amplification with Dolby Audio and lossless wireless support, while adaptive noise cancellation helps keep the commute out of the mix. There’s plenty of room to adjust the sound to your taste, too.
Nothing’s cassette-inspired headphones have picked up a studio habit. The Headphone (1) Pro pairs three drivers with tuning from Metropolis Studios and a physical switch for Flat EQ. You can enjoy your favorite track, then change profiles when it’s time to listen more closely to the mix.
Those CDs deserve better than another year in a drawer. Roberts’ Revere 300 and 500 give them somewhere to spin, pairing disc playback with radio and Bluetooth in wooden cabinets. The smaller Revere 100 skips CDs, while the 500 also makes room for your streaming subscriptions.
Packard Bell may remind you of the family PC, but its latest chapter includes something for lunch. Acer is marking the brand’s 100th anniversary with a colorful collection spanning a laptop, suitcase turntable, audio glasses, and a connected food steamer. That’s quite a departure from the computer desk.
Meta’s latest smart glasses range from ordinary-looking Ray-Bans that talk to you to display-equipped frames that navigate using visible landmarks and place a hologram of you on video calls. The eyewear is getting smarter; looking normal remains part of the assignment.
Meta has squeezed a personal cinema, gaming system, and private workspace into VR glasses weighing just 100 g. The secret is a pocketable puck that handles the processing, storage, battery, and heat away from your face.
XGIMI’s AURA 3 Pro and Max combine 4K 120 Hz RGB triple-laser projection with bright, high-contrast images and an 80W Harman Kardon audio system supporting Dolby Atmos. A refundable reservation also unlocks discounted Kickstarter pricing, additional savings, and priority access when the campaign opens.
Sony is expanding its PS5 audio lineup with the Pulse and higher-end Pulse Edge, both featuring larger planar magnetic drivers, PlayStation Link, Bluetooth connectivity, and AI-assisted microphone noise rejection. Pulse Edge adds twice the driver magnets, active noise cancellation, a detachable boom mic, and extra controls.
After months of daily use, the Nothing Ear (3a) left me wondering why most people need pricier wireless earbuds. Its punchy, balanced sound, impressive noise cancellation, adjustable EQ, and dependable battery life outweigh a slightly loose charging case, unremarkable Spatial Audio, and a maximum volume that could be louder.
The Beosound A9 already blurred the line between speaker and designer furniture. Its new Sienna Brown finish pushes that idea further with warm aluminum, tripod legs, and a richly textured Mineral Red Woolscape cover inspired by Sweden’s forests, lakes, and snowy landscapes.
