The Sennheiser IE 600 is the company’s newest audiophile pair of in-ear headphones. They’re extremely durable, made of an advanced metal (ZR01 amorphous zirconium, which is actually the same material that drilling head of the NASA Mars Rover is made out of), and have a similar shape and many of the same acoustic attributes as the company’s even higher-end IE 900 ($1,299).

Nomad Base One
Nomad

And while it’s made a number of wireless chargers for iPhone (and various other devices), the Base One is the first one that fully MagSafe certified. That means that it can wirelessly charge an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 at its fastest-possible speed (15 watts). It has a pretty hefty glass-and-aluminum body that weighs it at a little over a pound. And it’s available in either silver (shown) or carbide (dark gray) finishes. Wall adapter sold separately.

The Beosystem 72-22 pairs a Beogram 4000c turntable with a set of its Beolab 18 loudspeakers, all of which is decked out in matching solid walnut, and the system has been updated with modern streaming capabilities. Only 30 units are being made, each of which will carry a price tag of a cool $45K.
Price: $45,000
Sonos Roam SL
Sonos
The Roam SL is a microphone-less version of the company’s current ultra-portable speaker, the Roam. The downside of this is that it can’t hear your Alexa or Google Assistant voice commands. It also doesn’t support Automatic Trueplay, meaning it won’t optimize its sound for the space it’s in. The good news it’s exactly the same as the Roam in basically every other way, and it’s $20 cheaper.
Price: $159
AcousticSheep SleepPhones Wireless (2022 model)
SleepPhones
AcousticSheep released a new-and-improved version of its sleep headphones, the SleepPhones Wireless. The headband-style headphones have the exact same design as their predecessors — there are flat speakers that slip into padded slots on either side of the headband — only the 2022 model is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 and a much longer 24-hour battery life.
Price: $X

Otterbox Bnnounced two new portable battery packs — a 3,000 mAh and a 5,000 mAh model — that are designed to work with the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13’s MagSafe system. They are essentially more affordable versions of to Apple’s own portable MagSafe Battery Pack.
