A great fan of long bicycle trips, computer games and music, covering everything from classic rock, hip-hop or jazz to soundtracks and electronics. He plays the electric guitar, but the multitude of other passions and the lack of time made him abandon a dream of founding his own band and becoming a rockstar. However, he loves listening to artists who have managed to do so.

The aim is to offer a speaker that raises performance standards in its category while remaining recognisably part of the Premium family in both sound and appearance.

The DX3000CL is voiced for a smooth, natural balance, with a clear midrange, open treble and a rich but tightly controlled low end that reflects the sonic character listeners associate with the brand.

Meze Audio 99 Classics V2

Ten years after the debut of one of its most recognisable models, Meze Audio announces the return of the 99 Classics in a refined and upgraded form. The headphones that won worldwide acclaim for their natural sound and timeless aesthetics are making a comeback, preserving their signature character while introducing a range of subtle yet meaningful improvements. According to the manufacturer, the new 99 Classics continue the brand's philosophy of combining craftsmanship with modern acoustic engineering. The changes introduced in the second generation are evolutionary in nature, focusing on enhancing comfort and refining the overall sound performance. The headphones feature redesigned earpads, optimised cup volume and sealing, as well as a re-engineered acoustic partition. Meze Audio has also fine-tuned the driver matching process, resulting in a more balanced sound signature with deeper bass, smoother highs and a clear, expressive midrange.

Beyerdynamic DJ 300 PRO X

Beyerdynamic introduced two new professional DJ headphones - the DJ 300 PRO X and DJ 300 PRO X Club - designed to bridge the gap between live performance and studio work. The new headphones are built around the idea of flexibility and durability, offering a modular design that allows users to switch between on-ear and over-ear configurations within seconds. At the heart of both models is a newly developed 45 mm dynamic driver, engineered to deliver a balanced, powerful and detailed sound that remains clear even at high playback levels. Compared with conventional DJ headphones, the transducer offers a wider dynamic range and improved control across the frequency spectrum. The low end is deep and punchy, providing a solid foundation for beatmatching and cueing, while the treble retains crispness and precision without fatigue. Beyerdynamic says that the driver design is tuned to maintain accuracy under high sound pressure levels, ensuring clarity of kick drums, hi-hats and sequenced synth lines typical of modern electronic music.

Bowers & Wilkins Px8 S2

Bowers & Wilkins has unveiled the Px8 S2, its new flagship wireless headphone, representing the brand's most advanced design and engineering effort to date. Introduced on 24 September 2025, the Px8 S2 replaces the previous Px8 as the company's top model in the over-ear category, combining luxurious materials, refined ergonomics and significant acoustic upgrades. Drawing on decades of loudspeaker and studio monitoring expertise, Bowers & Wilkins continues its pursuit of what it calls the "True Sound" of the artist's intent. The Px8 S2 builds on this philosophy with newly developed 40 mm Carbon Cone drive units and a discrete internal amplifier system designed to reduce distortion, increase resolution and produce a more natural, detailed soundstage. Each driver sits within a redesigned acoustic chassis that includes a new suspension, magnet and voice coil arrangement, angled precisely toward the ear to improve imaging and spatial consistency across the listening field.

Nothing Ear (3)

Nothing has unveiled its latest generation of True Wireless Stereo earphones, the Ear (3), redefining how compact audio devices can look and perform. Designed to 'cut through the noise', the new model introduces a breakthrough Super Mic system, adaptive noise reduction, and a refined metal-infused design that elevates the brand's signature transparent aesthetic to new levels of sophistication. The Ear (3) embodies Nothing's vision of blending high-end engineering with expressive design. Its most striking innovation is the Super Mic - a dual-microphone system built into the charging case. Activated via the TALK button, it filters out up to 95 dB of ambient noise, ensuring crystal-clear voice capture even in challenging environments. The same system can be used for quick voice notes - pressing TALK records directly from the case to Nothing's Essential Space, where notes are automatically synced and transcribed using Nothing OS.
