New year means new CES. Yes, the world’s largest consumer electronics show took place this past week — it ended Friday, January 10th — and revealed a ton of cool (and wild) gadgets, from TVs to cars, audio players to smart home devices.

Below, we’ve rounded up 30+ of our favorite products that were announced at CES 2025.

Swippitt

  • Price: $450 (hub); $120 (each case)
  • Release date: June 2025 (preorder now)

Swippitt is a modular smartphone system consisting of a hub (the oversized toaster-looking thing) and Swippitt’s specialized smartphone cases. Each case has a built-in battery that, when low, you place the entire smartphone into the hub’s opening (top); it then swaps out the old battery with a fully charged one in seconds. This way, you never have to wait for smartphone to charge.

TCL QM6K QD-Mini LED TVs

  • Price: $750 (50″) — $3,500 (98″)
  • Release date: Preorder now

The TCL QM6K is the company’s new premium entry-level TV for 2025. It delivers excellent picture quality — thanks, in large parts, to being integrated with the company’s Mini-LED backlighting technology — at a very affordable price tag. Additionally, each model has a built-in Onkyo 2.1 sound system and thus should sound good on its own (although you’ll probably want to upgrade to a soundbar in time). It comes in six sizes ranging from 50-inches to the 98-inches (absolutely massive); the popular 65-inch model starts at just $1,000.

Onkyo Icon Series Amplifiers

  • Price: $1,499 — $1,999
  • Release date: Q4 2025

In recent years, Onkyo has been best known for its AV receivers, but the heritage Japanese audio brand is returning to its roots by releasing a line of amplifiers aimed squarely at audiophiles. The upcoming Icon series consists of the Icon P-80 network preamplifier, M-80 power amplifier, and A-50 network integrated amplifier. All are expected to ship later this year.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6

  • Price: $3,500
  • Release date: Q1 2025

Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is the world’s first laptop with a “rollable” display — with a press of a button, its 14-inch landscape display can expand upward to become a 16.7-inch vertical display. The Windows laptop is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor and has 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD. It was revealed in 2023 as a concept design, but it’s finally coming to market in 2025.

FiiO K17 Headphone Amplifier

  • Price: $900
  • Release date: January 2025

The FiiO K17 is a gorgeous headphone amplifier for headphone enthusiasts. It features the same high-quality dual-DAC combo (AK4191/AK4499EX) as the flagship $1,000 streamer, S15. It’s unique because it has a 3.93-inch touchscreen display and streaming capabilities. It supports high-resolution Bluetooth streaming with support for LDAC, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive. It also plays audio from digital and analog sources, such as a turntable or CD player.

Technics EAH-AZ100

  • Price: $300
  • Release date: Now

To celebrate the Japanese hi-fi brand’s 60th anniversary, Technics released a new pair of flagship noise-canceling wireless earbuds. They’re the successor to the company’s previous flagship buds, the EAH-AZ80, but the 2025-released EAH-AZ100 have been redesigned (they’re smaller) and all-around improved. The most significant upgrade is that they sport the company’s proprietary fluid magnetic drivers, which promise to deliver a more accurate sound with an even wider soundstage.

Beyerdynamic Aventho 300

  • Price: $400
  • Release date: Now

The Beyerdynamic Aventho 300 is the renowned German hi-fi brand’s new flagship active noise-canceling headphones. They pack the same Stellar.45 driver as Beyerdynamic’s studio headphones line (including the DT 700 Pro X and DT 900 Pro X). They support Dolby Atmos head tracking technology and are Apple MFi certified, thus promising to deliver an incredibly immersive spatial audio experience. And they have an excellent 50-hour battery life.

Shokz OpenFit 2

  • Price: $180
  • Release date: Now

The Shokz OpenFit 2 is the next generation of the company’s 2023-released OpenFit, its first open-ear wireless earbuds that opted for “air conduction” instead of “bone conduction” speaker technology. The OpenFit 2 has an updated design and improved drivers, thus promising to sound and fit significantly better. The 11-hour battery life is a big upgrade, too.

Onkyo Creator Series

  • Price: $199 (GX10DB); $299 (GX30ARC)
  • Release date: Now

Onkyo has released a new Creator Series featuring two sets of affordable powered speaker systems, Creator GX10DB and Creator GX30ARC. Both support Bluetooth streaming and numerous wired connections — including a built-in MM phono preamp — and thus are designed for plug-and-play solutions for your desktop or a basic audio system. Aside from size and price, the main difference is that the larger GX30ARC has an HDMI-ARC connection, allowing them to work as TV speakers.

Creative Aurvana Ace Mimi

  • Price: $130
  • Release date: Now

The Aurvana Ace Mimi are affordable, feature-packed wireless earbuds shaped like AirPods. They have xMEMS drivers and support LDAC audio files, allowing them to play the highest-resolution audio (up to 990 kbps) over Bluetooth. Thanks to a partnership with Mimi, they feature sound personalization technology that adjusts audio based on your hearing. They support active noise cancellation, too. And they’re the same price as Apple’s entry-level AirPods.

Lockly Styla

  • Price: $700
  • Release date: “Coming soon”

This is a new take on a smart lock that we haven’t seen before. The Lockly Styla combines many of the gadgets surrounding the front door of smart homes today. The relatively large-looking modern door handle packs a smart deadbolt lock, complete with an integrated rear fingerprint reader, an RFID reader compatible with up to three different fobs, and even a keypad that randomly shuffles the PIN numbers displayed to prevent onlookers from guessing your code. It also includes a 2k video doorbell camera with color night vision and AI-based motion sensing. The whole thing is also powered by an integrated battery that’ll work for up to 10 months with regular use before requiring a recharge via USB-C. Alongside the handle, the setup also ships with a Wi-Fi hub that can privately store video footage and audible chime for alerts. 

Panasonic Z95B OLED TV

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: Later this year

Last year, after more than a decade-long hiatus, Panasonic started selling TVs in the US again. The Z95A was its standout flagship OLED TV, which was really well-reviewed by critics. This year, in 2025, the Panasonic Z95B is the successor to the Z95A. It features a new four-layer OLED panel — the same as LG uses in its 2025 OLED TVs — and promises to deliver an even better picture. Also notable is that it features a Technics-tuned Dolby Atmos system, complete with side- and up-firing speakers, which will have you asking: “Do I really need a soundbar?”

Lenco LS-570WA

  • Price: $469
  • Release date: Now

The Lenco LS-570WA is a plug-and-play all-in-one record player system. It features a belt-drive turntable with a moving-magnetic cartridge, a switchable phono preamplifier, and a powered four-speaker system capable of outputting 80 watts of power. It also has built-in Bluetooth, allowing you to stream audio when you want to take a break from vinyl.

FiiO K17 

  • Price: $900
  • Release date: January 2025

The FiiO K17 is a gorgeous headphone amplifier for headphone enthusiasts. It features the same high-quality dual-DAC combo (AK4191/AK4499EX) as the flagship $1,000 streamer, S15. It’s unique because it has a 3.93-inch touchscreen display

Amazfit Active 2

  • Price: $100 — $130
  • Release date: February 2025 (preorder now)

Amazfit’s second-generation Active looks poised to become one of the best budget-friendly smartwatches. It’s packed with sensors and features for health, sleep and fitness tracking. It has a large circular OLED display with up to 2,000 nits of brightness. And it has a superb 10-day battery life, significantly better than any current Apple Watch.

Samsung The Frame Pro

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: spring 2025

The Frame Pro is an ungraded version of Samsung’s super popular The Frame TV. Like its non-Pro sibling, The Frame Pro is a lifestyle TV that hangs on your wall and, thanks to a framed border and an ability to display artwork when idle, blends into your home. However, the difference is The Frame Pro has Samsung’s newest Neo QLED display with mini-LED backlighting. This promises to improve its contrast and brightness greatly and thus deliver the best possible picture ever in a The Frame TV.

Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2

  • Price: $149
  • Release date: January 2025

The Audio-Technica ATH-CKS50TW2 are midrange wireless earbuds with premium features, including active noise-cancellation and transparency modes, wireless charging, and pretty stellar battery life. However, the most interesting thing about them is that they are integrated with what Audio-Technica calls “Magnetic Switch” technology. This allows the earbuds to snap together magnetically and power off without the charging case, allowing you to leave the charging case at home without worrying about the earbuds dying or getting lost.

LG Ultrafine 6K Monitor (32U990A)

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: N/A

The newest addition to LG’s beloved line of Ultrafine monitors looks like a bonafide rival (and likely significantly more affordable option) to Apple’s Pro Display XDR. Admittedly, details about this 32-inch monitor are pretty scarce at the time of writing, but it claims to be the world’s first 6K display that supports Thunderbolt 5 (making it an ideal partner for Apple’s newest Macs with M4 Pro chips). It also features a Nano IPS Black panel, helping it deliver a picture with excellent contrast and color accuracy.

Kanto Audio UKI

  • Price: $199
  • Release date: second half of 2025

The Canadian audio brand has made some of our favorite powered desktop speaker systems in recent years — the Ora4 ($400) and Ren ($600) are two recent examples — and the UKI aims to continue that trend. The speakers have a range of wired connections, so you can hook them up to your computer or turntable. And they support streaming via Bluetooth. Most notably, the two-way speakers stand just 6.5 inches tall and a pair costs $199, making them one of the company’s smallest and most affordable powered speaker systems.

Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED

  • Price: $800
  • Release date: May 2025

The Dell 32 Plus 4K QD-OLED is a 31.5-inch monitor with a gorgeous 4K OLED display and a 120Hz refresh rate. The most interesting thing about it, however, is that it supports spatial audio with AI-driven head-tracking. So, no matter where you are in front of the monitor, its speakers will aim its audio directly at you so that you’re always positioned in the “sweet spot.” It’s like Apple’s Center Stage, but instead of making sure your face is always in the frame during video calls, it does that with audio so what you’re listening to always sounds its best. It’s a cool feature for those who don’t always like to wear headphones.

Anker 140W Charger

  • Price: $90
  • Release date: January 2025

The Anker 140W Charger is a 140-watt wall adapter capable of simultaneously charging four devices via its four USB ports (3x USB-C, USB-A). While Anker has offered several such wall adapters with a built-in screen that displays charging information, this model is among its smallest and most portable. Additionally, all four ports are located on the bottom (as opposed to the side), helping it stay balanced and more easily fit cables when located in tight spaces (like behind a desk or couch).

Belkin Stage PowerGrip

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: May 2025

Belkin’s Stage PowerGrip is a MagSafe portable battery that, interestingly, is shaped like a camera grip, making it easier to hold while capturing photos and videos. Unfortunately, there’s no built-in shutter button. The pack has a 10,000mAh capacity and can wirelessly charge your iPhone at 7.5 watts. It also has an integrated USB-C cable for charging a second device.

LG 3-in-1 Projector (PF600U)

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: N/A

The LG PF600U is a versatile projector that can also function as a Bluetooth speaker or an LED mood lamp — in fact, its stand-pole design is inspired by a floor lamp. As a projector, it can deliver a 1080p Full HD picture up to 120 inches. It runs LG’s webOS interface for easy streaming. When using it as a mood lamp, you can swap between nine colors and five brightness levels.

Astrohaus Freewrite Wordrunner

  • Price: N/A ($1 for early reservation via Kickstarter)
  • Release date: spring 2025

The Freewrite Wordrunner is a unique mechanical keyboard specifically designed for writers. It features an electromechanical “wordometer” that keeps track of how many words you type; an electromechanical sprint timer for writing sprint sessions; and a function key row populated with keys specific for writing (like “Find,” “Replace,” “Paragraph Up” and “Paragraph Down”). It can be used wired (USB-C) or wirelessly (Bluetooth), and is compatible with Macs and PCs. It will run as a Kickstarter and, if you put $1 down now, it ensures you’ll get the keyboard for the lowest Early Bird price.

JBL Tour One M3

  • Price: $400
  • Release date: April 2025

The JBL Tour One M3 is the company’s newest flagship noise-canceling headphones — and at $400, they’re poised to compete with Sony, Bose, and Apple’s top-of-the-line models. The most interesting thing about them is that JBL includes a touchscreen Bluetooth transmitter, allowing the headphones to easily listen to audio from in-flight entertainment systems and other analog sources.

Samsung S95F QD-OLED TV

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: Spring 2025

The Samsung S95F is the company’s flagship OLED TV for 2025. Like its predecessor, the S95D, the S95F features the company’s matte anti-glare glass, making it one of the best OLEDs for brightly lit rooms. But the S95F has an even brighter OLED panel — in fact, Samsung claims it’s the “world’s brightest” OLED TV — and, thanks to an improved refresh rate that maxes out at 165Hz, it promises to be an even better TV for gamers.

Victrola Wave

  • Price: $400
  • Release date: spring 2025

The Victrola Wave is the budget-friendly audio maker’s new entry-level hi-fi turntable. It has built-in Bluetooth and supports aptX Adaptive and aptX HD streaming. Most interesting, it supports Auracast, a new-age audio-sharing feature that allows sources to stream audio to countless other supported audio devices. So the Wave can stream vinyl to any Auracast-ready speakers and headphones in your home.

LG 2025 OLED TVs

  • Price: N/A
  • Release date: spring 2025

LG has once again revealed its 2025 lineup of OLED TVs ahead of CES — it consists of the B5, C5, G5, and flagship M5. Compared to their predecessors, these next-gen models have similar designs but pack improved processors, upgraded gaming features, and advanced AI capabilities. Regarding picture quality, the biggest improvements come to the higher-end G5 and flagship M5, which have new “four-stack” OLED panels that promise to deliver a picture three times as bright as the company’s new B5 OLED.

Artronic Komutr Earbuds

  • Price: $99
  • Release date: May 2025 (available for preorder now)

Artronic’s Komutr are budget-friendly wireless earbuds with a pretty ingenious feature. Their charging case is a MagSafe-compatible accessory that can magnetically snap to the back of your iPhone. This is convenient and makes the earbuds and charging case more difficult to misplace. The lid of the case also works as a kickstand.

Belkin SoundForm Isolate

  • Price: $60
  • Release date: January 2025

The Belkin SoundForm Isolate is the well-known accessory maker’s first over-ear noise-canceling headphones. They support ANC and transparency modes and boast a pretty great battery life (40 hours with ANC on or 60 hours with ANC off). And at just $60, they’re one of the most affordable ANC headphones out there.

Satechi Mac Mini M4 Stand & Hub

  • Price: $100
  • Release date: February 2025

Originally announced this past November, Satachi has finally confirmed pricing and availability information for its M4 Mac Mini accessory. The stand–and–hub combo will cost $100 and be available starting February 17th. It adds three front-facing USB-A ports and an SD reader, all of which are missing from Apple’s newest tiny desktop.

Klipsch Party Speakers

  • Price: $299 — $699
  • Release date: January 2025

The Klipsch Music City Party Speakers are large portable Bluetooth speakers that feature RGB lighting (you can customize the light patterns via a companion app) and include a microphone for karaoke. Each speaker packs a horn-loaded tweeter — a Klipsch staple — and promises to pack a bass-heavy punch. The three speakers are named after US cities: Klipsch Vegas ($299, center), Klipsch Miami ($549, right) and Klipsch New York ($699, left).

JLab Epic Lux Lab Edition

  • Price: $199

They have adaptive active noise-cancellation and, interestingly, support wireless charging via the included magnetic charging pad.

Moft Find My-Enabled Snap-on Phone Stand and Wallet

Moft Find My Snap-on Phone Stand & WalletMoft

Moft Find My-Enabled Snap-on Phone Stand and Wallet

  • Price: $50
  • Release date: May 2025

As its name gives away, the Moft Find My-Enabled Snap-on Phone Stand and Wallet is an updated version of the company’s existing MagSafe-compatible minimalist wallet that works with Apple’s Find My network. It looks and works the same (albeit slightly thicker), but you can use the Find My app on your iPhone to find it if it gets misplaced. It has a four-month battery life and supports wireless charging, so you can wirelessly charge it with the same puck/stand you use to recharge your iPhone.
