10 Cool New Gadgets to Keep on Your Radar

The Flatten It is a high-end vinyl flatter that, as its name gives away, is designed to flatten warped records. It uses precision-heated aluminum plates, with “precise temperature control and a low-temperature hysteresis of just 2°C,” to evenly distribute heat and gradually flatten the record to its original shape.

Samsung’s QN90F is the company’s flagship line of Neo QLED 4K TVs for 2025 — they are the direct successors to the 2024-released QN90D. The models pack next-gen NQ4 AI Gen3 processors, while the displays are integrated with Glare-Free and Neo Quantum HDR+ technologies, so they look better in sun-lit rooms and can better upscale non-4K content. Originally announced at CES 2025, but, as of March 2025, Samsung has revealed pricing and availability information. The Samsung QN90F comes in seven sizes ranging from 43- to 98 inches, and prices range from $1,400 to $15,000.

Released in 2025, the Klipschorn AK7 is a modern version of Klipsch’s iconic Klipschorn speaker that was first released in 1946. The AK7 maintains the same fully horn-loaded, three-way design as its ancestor but boasts updated drivers, crossovers and enclosures to deliver a better modern sound. Additionally, Klipsch is giving consumers the option to buy active crossovers for those who want greater control over the loudspeakers’ sound.

The La Scala AL6 is an updated version of Klipsch’s iconic Heritage loudspeaker for 2025. It has the same fully horn-loaded, three-way design as the 1963-released loudspeaker. Still, the brand has given it modern drivers — a K-771 compression driver with a new wide-dispersion extended phase plug and a KT-1133-HP midrange driver — along with a new vented cabinet design that promises to help it deliver richer, deeper bass. Along with American Walnut and Black Ash finishes, Klipsch offers it in a third: American Auburn.

The Canon EOS R50 V is an entry-level mirrorless camera designed for vloggers. It can capture 4K videos (at 30fps) and is the successor of the 2023-released EOS R50. Comparatively, the EOS R50 V is smaller and has superior shooting abilities, but it doesn’t have a built-in flash or electronic viewfinder — you’ll depend on its articulated 3-inch touchscreen for framing.

The iFi iDSD Valkyrie is a high-end portable DAC and headphone amplifier for audiophiles who want to listen to high-quality on the go. It features a quad-DAC architecture and maxes out at 5,700mW of peak power — it can drive even the most power-hungry headphones. The device’s headline feature is K2HD technology, which the brand says “restores the warmth and emotion of analog recordings, ensuring your digital audio never sounds cold or clinical.” It also gives listeners numerous other ways to customize the sound, including six digital filters, various EQ modes, iFi’s signature analog processing, or DSD remastering (for remastering files to DSD512 or DSD1024).

The Focal Bathys MG are even higher-end wireless noise-canceling headphones than the company’s 2022-released Bathys. They share the same basic design and many of the same features, but the French loudspeaker manufacturer upgraded them with even more luxurious materials (such as aluminum, magnesium and leather) and decked them out with upgraded M-shaped magnesium dome drivers — the same ones featured in its $1,699 Clear MG headphones. At $1,299, they’re twice as expensive as the Bathys and definitely one of the most expensive wireless ANC headphones you can buy.

The Sony C710N are budget-friendly wireless earbuds that are the direct successor to the 2023-released WFC700N. They have support premium features, such as active noise-cancellation and transparency modes, Bluetooth multi-pairing and optical sensors that automatically play/pause music when the earbuds are placed/removed from your ears. But the most standout new feature is that Sony offers them in a transparent blue design (as well as several other traditional colors).

Twelve South’s AirFly Pro 2 is an upgraded version of its 2019-released predecessor. Just like before, the Bluetooth dongle pairs with your AirPods (or any wireless headphones) and plugs into an airline’s in-flight entertainment system, letting you listen to movies and shows while you fly. The Pro 2 has been upgraded with on-device controls, as well as improved audio and Bluetooth pairing.

Apple’s USB-C to 3.5mm cable allows you to listen to AirPods Max on analog sources, such as a portable hi-fi player or an in-flight entertainment system, without needing an extra adapter. The cable is braided just like the USB-C to USB-C that comes with AirPods Max, but is only available in one color: white.
