At this point it’s becoming easier to point out companies that haven’t introduced a pair of true wireless earbuds. In fact, where are yours, reader? And after impressing us with a series of Bluetooth speakers and headphones, Marshall is now getting i

If there’s one thing likely to survive a pandemic-led ‘death of retail’ it’s Swedish flatpack furniture – so who better to explore the future of urban living than Ikea and its research lab, Space10. Their new book, The Ideal City: Exploring Urban Fut

Knowing it’s raining outside your flat isn’t much use when you’re going on a road trip – hence this app, which combines forecasts and route maps. You can peruse temperatures and weather symbols that sit atop a map showing the line of your journey, or

LG PuriCare LG’s mask might make you look like Bane the Batman villain, but you’ll sound less bunged-up given it’s designed to help you breathe easily. With HEPA filters blocking even the finest particles, built-in fans then push clean air in and red

Plastic waste makes up 85% of the pollution on beaches around the world, and every year the UK alone throws away 300 million kilos of flexible plastics. That means things like supermarket shopping bags, bubblewrap, food packaging and pallet wrapping

At the risk of turning into Trigger’s broom from Only Fools and Horses, the TMA-2 headphones are designed so the speaker units, earpads, headband and cables can be continually swapped out to suit your style and sound preference. There’s an online con

Think of the current industrial economy as a straight line that starts by dragging precious materials out of the ground, turning them into something valuable we buy, and ends with us throwing it away. The circular economy bends that line into a conti

Apple has disassembly robots called Daisy and Dave (somehow it’s always Dave) working in a lab in Texas to remove components, rare-earth elements and other materials from old gadgets that it can reuse in new devices. Nice, but is this just an expensi

Arriving later this year, Spotify’s new tier is promising CD-quality audio at last… and at a price that should undercut Tidal HiFi in a big way. £14/m (est) / spotify.com Amazon goes cheaper than its rivals? Quelle surprise, although it’s £2 more if

£226 / stuff.tv/G10 ■ The size of a loaf of bread and attractive in a very Scandi way, the G10 won’t go stale anywhere near as quickly as sliced Hovis. In fact, it looks almost incomplete without some sort of trendy cold-brew coffee apparatus next to

You could shove a Fire TV Stick 4K into the back of your telly for half the price and get most of the same features; but the premium choice is more powerful and lets you bellow across the room to start playing your favourite show. £110 / amazon.co.uk

£250 / stuff.tv/QCE They’re bulkier than the average in-ears and come with a ridiculously large case, but otherwise the QC Earbuds are difficult to knock. The noise-cancelling doesn’t do a disservice to the esteemed QC name, it’s hugely customisable,

£349 / stuff.tv/XM4 With their perfect balance of wearability, active noise-cancelling prowess and audio performance, there just hasn’t been a better package than the Sony XM3s… until now. The XM4s look and sound almost identical, but a range of new

£26 / stuff.tv/MiBand5 With no installable apps, Xiaomi’s dinky wearable can’t stack up to smartwatches or reply to notifications, but it can relay alerts and track everything from sleep to workouts. It’s better than the Mi Smart Band 4, thanks to a

from £299 / stuff.tv/GW3 Sneaking into the top berth courtesy of a slightly underwhelming Apple Watch update, Samsung’s gorgeous Watch3 is an easy wearable to love. It’s superbly made and very attractive, and the spinning bezel makes it a joy to use.

£2199 / stuff.tv/AmbeoSoundbar Utterly convincing Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D sound, ample power and lots of inputs mean no other soundbar currently available can perform feats with the solidity and confidence of this Sennheiser. The sheer room-filling

from £579 / stuff.tv/iPadAir The 4th-generation iPad Air ushers in big changes. It looks the spit of an 11in iPad Pro (at least from the front), and supports Apple’s snazzy Magic Keyboard and second-gen Pencil… and the A14 chip makes it blazingly fas

£330 / stuff.tv/Mindstorms It’s clear Lego has prioritised immediacy and fun with its latest build-your-own-bots kit, which lets you and/or your little ones create five different coding-controlled mecha-beings. Yes, the set lacks a proper screen and
