ZEITGEIST GERMANY ISLAY MALT NO 1 If you find yourself at the crossroads of great music and fine malt whisky, then do we have the product for you. New from Zeitgeist Germany, the Islay Malt No 1 earphones let you combine your two passions into one unique device. They’re made from real oak whisky barrels (thankfully freshly drained of their cargo), meaning that each design is unique based on the barrel it came from – although we don’t know if they’re also imbued with a pungent oaky aroma. Zeitgeist says its product offers “a listening experience as rich and robust as the Scotch that inspired it,” and there’s a custom driver powering each in-ear monitor, giving what Zeitgeist describes as a “smooth, lush, immersive sound”. In the box is a…

While the newest and shiniest flagship smartphones will set you back a serious amount of money – the sort of money that could actually get you a spectacular TV, for example – there’s a lot to be said for setting your budget a little lower for your next phone purchase. And here, we’re setting that budget at exactly £500. To continue the comparison, you’d struggle to get a TV with a high-end panel or decent audio for that money, but on the other hand you can get a very good smartphone. As the years have gone on, budget and mid-range phones have continued to raise the bar in terms of design, performance, features and materials – it’s no longer the case that spending less means making a lot of trade-offs…

Dyson revealed its first-ever dedicated headphones earlier this year, surprising both established audio-makers and the public alike with its unique, customisable take on its vision of the ideal headphones. Dyson has pitched these at the premium end of the market, its £449 price tag putting them close to or on par with usual suspects like Apple’s AirPods Max and Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra Headphones. The OnTrac’s big sell is the interchangeable ear cushions and earcaps, with a multitude of potential combinations for personalised customisation. While you can’t pre-specify your OnTrac’s unique look out of the box, the headphones do come in four available options: CNC Aluminium (yellow earcups, silver earcaps), CNC Copper (blue and copper), Ceramic Cinnabar (black and coral), CNC Black Nickel (black and dark silver). Additional ear cushions or…

Plato, the most influential of ancient Greek philosophers, possibly once said: “He was a wise man who invented beer”. As a nation, it looks like we heartily agree. But combine our love of a proper pint with crippling inflation and it’s no wonder more of us are skipping the pub to drink at home. And while cans and bottles taste great and save you cash, they’re not the same as a freshly poured pint straight from the keg, which is where the latest generation of domestic beer dispensers can help. These worktop wonders can chill, pour and in some cases even brew a pub worthy pint for you from the comfort of home. We’ve painstakingly researched (no, the pleasure was all ours!) brew tech to discover the very best options…

It’s almost five years since the original Galaxy Z Fold launched. The game’s changed since then, and as the potential of foldables evolves, is Samsung still ahead in the folding phones race with its latest Z Fold 6? To own a Z Fold 6 you’re going to have to pay a premium: it’s £1,799 for the entry 256GB model, a price increase compared to the previous generation, and it now sits at the top of the price spectrum. The newly launched Google Pixel 9 Fold Pro (p12) comes in at £50 less. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 has been redesigned to be wider by 2.7mm and shorter by 1.4mm. Crucially, the depth has been trimmed down to just 5.6mm thick, and as a consequence it’s even lighter than before. Visually,…

#TECH #1 SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FOLD6 Samsung’s most interesting phone has gotten far better. It’s faster, the screen tech has been boosted, and the Fold’s frame – which has stayed pretty static through the previous iterations – has been trimmed down, squared off, and now makes this feel like a normal phone when folded in the hand. Read our verdict on p74. From £1,799, samsung.com #2 iPAD PRO (2024) It’s always a treat when Apple readies a ‘tick’ release, and the iPad Pro happens to be the company’s thinnest-ever product. For a firm as visually obsessive as Apple, that might be enough. But the Ultra Retina display, super-powered M4 chip, connectivity upgrades and more make this a tablet like no other. From £999, apple.com #3 TCL P755K Spend less and you won’t necessarily…

1 CAMDEN BREWERY JACK SENIOR & JACK JUNIOR GLASSES SET Camden Brewery’s unique pint pot is a joy to drink from, and now, as a sensible grown-up, you don’t have to swipe them from your local after a Super Sunday session. Comes with one pint and one half and zero guilt. £10, camdentownbrewery.com 2 TESSALATE COASTERS BY TIMBER ROBOT STUDIO Beer mats are fine, but a proper coaster is a classier option. This set of four tessellating coasters is made from European walnut, and when not being used to prevent cup rings, create a cool mirrored pattern, and can double as a heat-proof mat at mealtimes.  £40, handmadeinbritain.co.uk 3 FROTH CUP & SKIMMER A bad bartender can pour a bad pint, even with a pro dispenser. Cover your inadequacies with this 23cm beer…

Up until now, smart rings have been the province of a few startups like Oura, Ultrahuman and Ringconn, with the possible exception of Chinese wearables brand Amazfit. All of these take the basic smartwatch sensors and squeeze them into a much smaller form factor so they can read your heart rate, blood oxygen, skin temperature and all the rest from your finger, rather than your wrist. Until the Samsung Galaxy Ring came along, none of the big fish in the smartwatch world thought to bother with the form factor. Samsung has knocked it out of the park on its first go here. It has taken its existing, excellent working ecosystem of the Samsung Galaxy Watch, the comprehensive Samsung Health app and the all-new Galaxy AI, then stripped the Watch down…
