NEXT-GENERATION OLED TVS, FIVE-STAR EARBUDS AND A HI-FI SURPRISE

It was a great year for home cinema and audio fans at this year's Las Vegas tech show

- 

The world's biggest tech show, CES, brought everything from amazing new wireless earbuds and next-generation OLED TVs to the surprise resurrection of a hi-fi heavyweight. Our team was on the ground at the Las Vegas show, and here we present nine products that truly caught our eye.

1 Technics EA-AZ100

Technics is well known for its hi-fi systems, turntables and speakers. To this day its SA-C600 "just add speakers" system remains a What Hi-Fi? Award winner and staple sight in our editor's lounge, as well as our test rooms. But Technics has struggled to earn a five-star rating with its wireless earbuds. That all changed at CES 2025 where the company unveiled its new EA-AZ100 buds.

Having had them in a good month before the event for review, we can confirm they are a true step forward for the brand. Featuring a wealth of new features that refine Technics' sound, adding the dynamics and oomph that were missing on past sets, they impressed our reviewers enough to earn a full five-star rating and a place among the best wireless earbuds currently available.
