The PlayStation 5 is getting a colorful dose of late-’90s nostalgia. Sony’s new Prism Collection introduces see-through DualSense controllers and matching PS5 console covers in Flare Orange, Emerald Green, and Graphite Gray. With glossy transparent shells and contrasting metallic finishes, the collection lets you peek inside your gaming gear.
Fisheye lenses are usually fixed-focal-length affairs, but Sony’s new FE 8–14mm F3.5 Fisheye G offers something different. Its zoom mechanism lets photographers switch between circular and frame-filling diagonal fisheye perspectives, both with a 180° field of view. Add a constant f/3.5 aperture and autofocus, and creative possibilities get interesting.
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.
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.
HORI’s official Ace Combat 8 flight stick combines Hall effect sensors, independent throttle and brake levers, twist control, and a dedicated High-G button in one ambidextrous unit. It also supports customizable inputs and optional twin-stick control when paired with a second unit.
Fanatec’s new ClubSport F1 Racing System keeps the proven 18 Nm ClubSport DD+ base but adds an all-new, wider Formula 1 wheel packed with forged carbon, magnetic paddles, rotary controls, and shift lights. It may be the closest most of us get to an F1 cockpit without sponsorship money or a super license.
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.
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.
Sony is marking the arrival of Grand Theft Auto VI with two limited-edition DualSense controllers inspired by Vice City by day and night. Both feature color-shifting finishes, molded palm-tree details and official GTA 6 branding—though the sprawling city offered plenty of other design possibilities.
Sony’s original PlayStation has joined LEGO’s growing collection of brick-built consoles. The nearly life-size model recreates the iconic grey machine and its DualShock controller, complete with working buttons and hidden scenes inspired by Gran Turismo and Ape Escape.
