Sonos Sub Mini
Finding the right sound is about design as much as anything else. Sonos knows it's usual to conjure up deep bass tones with a huge corner cluttering cube but figured that a pair of faced-off woofers could, given a sufficiently well-engineered cabinet, offer just as much rumble in a whole lot more style. The original Sonos Sub does this, packing two distortion-cancelling speakers into a square-sided rectangular cabinet.
The Sub Mini carves its design down to a bare cylindrical minimum, retaining the central output slot but reducing the size - if not the sound - significantly. Once you've figured in Sonos' standard single-wire connectivity, the result is a sub that can be hidden but doesn't have to be.
Indeed, there's every chance you'll want to keep the Sub Mini on display. Little bigger than a bookshelf speaker, packed with power, and smart enough to balance its output to match the acoustics of your room, the Sub Mini hits a sweet spot basically nothing has before- and gives the rest of a Sonos system, whether that be a lonely soundbar or a set of the excellent Era 300 smart speakers, a chance to focus on the highs without muddying themselves with the lows.
Teenage Engineering EP-133 KO II
Just look at it. Look at the blend of nostalgic rear-coloured backlit LCD, fantastic colour-matched industrial design cool, tactile buttons that beg to be touched. Then listen to it, and the amount you can do with its oh-so-playable sample engine, or as a controller for other MIDI devices. Teenage Engineering has knocked it out of the park with its sequel to the roustabout Pocket Operator series, giving musical experimenters and pros alike the kind of tool that inspires creativity and sheer audio fun, all while remaining affordable. Not everything needs top-line components to succeed: more of this sort of thing, please.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty
The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.
