FiiO JM21 MKII DAP
Following the success of the JM21, a true gateway to high-resolution listening at an affordable price, the Chinese brand unveils an MKII version that slightly improves the formula with 64 GB of storage and increased fluidity. The tried-and-tested architecture remains unchanged, with a dual Cirrus Logic DAC supported by an FPGA chip with DAPS (Digital Audio Purification System) technology to optimize signal integrity. This configuration ensures support for most audio formats up to 32-bit/384 kHz, as well as DSD files up to DSD256. The amplification can deliver a comfortable 700 mW into 32 ohms via the balanced 4.4 mm output, and 245 mW into 32 ohms from the unbalanced 3.5 mm mini-jack output. Like other players from the brand, the FiiO JM21 MKII runs on a full Android system with access to streaming services in addition to local playback. Available for €229.

Sonos expands its range of portable wireless speakers with the new Sonos Play. Positioned between the Sonos Roam 2 and the Move 2, it offers a hybrid solution suited both for home and on the go use thanks to its dual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. Over Wi-Fi, it benefits from the full Sonos ecosystem, with access to streaming services, internet radios, and multi-room audio. Automatic TruePlay performs acoustic calibration whenever the speaker is moved for perfect adaptation to its environment. With 24 hours of battery life and a robust design, this portable speaker is ready to accompany users in any situation. Available for €349.

With the Nothing Headphone (a), the London-based brand offers a more affordable version of its flagship model, the Nothing Headphone (1), priced at €159. At this price point, Nothing makes a strong impression by combining bold colors, a signature design that is instantly recognizable, comprehensive connectivity, and Hi-Res certification, all backed by impressive battery life of up to 135 hours.
Staying true to the brand’s semi-transparent aesthetic, already seen on its earbuds and smartphones, the Headphone (a) features a distinctive look that clearly stands out from the competition. Durable and particularly comfortable for everyday use, it stands out as a highly competitive value-for-money option. Available for €159.

Denon updates its range of wireless speakers with the new Denon Home 200, Home 400, and Home 600. This new generation stands out primarily for integrating Dolby Atmos Music.

Available in three models (L/R S, L/R M, and L/R X), it covers all uses, from close-up listening to high-end living room systems. These speakers integrate amplification and conversion, and for the M and X versions, the StreamMagic platform, offering full access to high-resolution streaming, multi-room audio, and major music services. The higher-end models also add extensive connectivity, including HDMI eARC for TV, a phono input, and numerous digital and analog sources.

Available to pre-order starting at €499.
Hisense C3 projector
Hisense gently updates its compact 4K projector with the C3, building on the solid foundation of the C2 while introducing targeted improvements.
