It’s been a question on many lips for many years, but it looks like Sonos might finally looking to launch its first pair of headphones, and we’re hopeful they will arrive this year. Until now rumours haven’t been based on much more than hearsay but we now have some evidence to get excited about. With Sonos’ historic reluctance to use Bluetooth, wireless headphones seemed extremely unlikely. However, that changed when the firm launched the portable Sonos Move speaker last year....

The Xperia 5 III is finally here. Sony’s third-gen premium mid-ranger launched alongside the flagship Xperia 1 III at an event in Japan, but it shares many key specs with its more expensive sibling.

That tallies with the experience in our full review , although it’s held back by some overheating issues and confusing camera software, especially when you consider its price....

At a Glance Our Verdict Sony’s Xperia XZ1 is closer to the XZ Premium than it is to the XZ. It offers a lot more power and will provide better performance, but it is also a lot more expensive than the XZ’s current price. If you’re looking to buy a new phone, we’d recommend paying the difference and getting an XZ1 as it will ensure a better user experience. If you already have an XZ and are wondering whether to buy the XZ1, the choice depends on your satisfaction levels regarding the XZ....

The colourful livery, movie friendly screen size, and parental controls make it a good choice for those wanting a device to give to their children. At £99 it’s a lot less of a risk than an iPad or indeed the Nexus 9....

As expected, Apple used its Glowtime iPhone 16 launch event to introduce the Apple Watch Series 10.

But if you’re regularly using your phone when you’re out, for directions or texting, there’s a problem.

I had no idea how much hair was on our floors until we got our first Roomba. Emptying our Roomba’s bin for the first time, my family looked on in slack-jawed amazement as I pulled out fistfulls of hair, and that was only from about half of our apartment. The thing about all that hair is that it doesn’t just go into the Roomba’s dust bin. A surprising amount of hair gets wrapped around your Roomba’s various brushes, and if you want to avoid permanent damage to your new robotic friend, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves and pull the hair off....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Leave all critical thinking at the door and you’ll have a whale of a time with this brazen and brash eight-parter about a clique of red state women who, despite their buttoned-up appearances, are arguably just as dastardly as their rich husbands.

Google Docs, as you probably know already, is fantastic. Not only is it a free alternative to Microsoft’s Office suite, but it’s also integrated tightly with Google Drive, which is also far more user friendly than the competition from Dropbox and OneDrive.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The dazzling 4K display of the P50T-B-10K is genuinely in a class of its own, and will certainly appeal to professional photographers and video-editors. It may look good value when compared to rivals such as Apple’s MacBook Pro with Retina Display but its poor battery life means that it will rarely leave the office, while professional users will likely be frustrated by Windows programs that don’t work correctly with the 3840 x 2160 resolution display....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Toshiba U29 should be Considered remarkable value.
