Apple Intelligence was marketed as this incredible on-device AI service that would transform iPhones into smarter devices and would offer a compelling reason to upgrade to the newer handsets, but we all know how well that played out. Fortunately, the Cupertino firm has been given another chance at WWDC 2026, but it should offer one of the best previews available for millions because the latest data reveals that generative AI-capable iPhones have reached a new high in shipments, and they are sorely missing out. For Q1 2026, the latest research reveals that Apple Intelligence-capable iPhones have reached a jaw-dropping 450 […]

INTRODUCTION
In the upper tier of personal audio, headphones and earphones stop being accessories and start becoming tools, the kind that reveal the texture of a bow on a string, the breath behind a vocal line, or the subtle decay of a cymbal. Hi-Res designs especially are clearly built for listeners who want intimacy without coloration, scale without exaggeration, and detail without fatigue. Materials also matter and when it comes to the best models out there, they are chosen for their acoustic honesty, not their marketing appeal. The best designs aim to disappear, leaving only the recording and the listener in a direct, unfiltered exchange. The new AC55 Reference by aune fits neatly into that philosophy, delivering a clean, restrained signature that prioritizes accuracy.
In 2004, shared passion and a common pursuit brought together a group of seasoned audio enthusiasts with profound expertise in audio engineering. Over two decades, we've been dedicated to creating high-quality audio products including DACs, digital transports, players, amps, clocks, speakers, and headphones. The logo of aune was inspired by the concept of Yin-Yang - the Chinese philosophy of balance. The rounded design of the letters conveys a message of peace and gentleness. The openings on four sides indicate inclusiveness.
Aune’s AC55 is built around a reference‑class acoustic architecture that pushes the clip‑on format far beyond its usual limits. At its core is a 40mm W‑shaped bio‑fiber composite diaphragm, offering roughly 70% more effective vibrating surface than typical clip‑on drivers, a design that increases rigidity and improves treble precision while preserving natural vocal and instrumental texture. This diaphragm is paired with an ultra‑elastic long‑excursion surround, engineered to allow unusually large driver movement for an open clip‑on, enabling deep, controlled bass that reaches into sub‑bass territory and competes with full‑size over‑ear headphones in extension and authority. This configuration gives the AC55 a frequency response of 15Hz-40kHz, 30Ohm impedance, 112dB sensitivity and a THD of under 0.3% at 1 kHz. The AC55’s fully open‑back clip‑on design contributes to a wide, transparent soundstage with natural spatial dispersion, particularly effective for orchestral and cinematic material where depth and layering matter. Comfort is handled through a semi‑memory aluminum ear hook, designed to flex and conform to the ear while distributing pressure evenly for long listening sessions without fatigue. Finally signal integrity is supported by a high‑quality oxygen‑free copper cable with Litz braiding and a modular plug system, allowing quick swaps between 3.5mm single‑ended and 4.4mm balanced outputs for compatibility across portable players, dongles, and desktop gear.
SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES
PACKAGING AND CONTENTS
The AC55 reference arrived inside a small white box that has a product picture at the front, the company logo and the Hi-Res Audio certification.
At the rear we find both the product specifications and contact information for aune in 2 languages.
As you can all see the AC55 are placed inside a piece of foam which should be more than sufficient for protection during shipping.
Inside the box aune has placed the AC55 with its high-purity oxygen-free Litz braided cable, 4.4mm balanced plug (already fitted onto the cable), 3.5mm single-ended plug, shirt clip, storage/carrying pouch and the user manual.
THE AC55 REFERENCE
Each of the two earphones weighs just 35g and as for material we see rubber, plastic and aluminum.
These earphones measure 53mm in length, 60mm in height and 16mm in thickness so not exactly small.
The earpad is as soft as the ones we used to have with old over the ear headphones so it’s quite comfortable.
Aune has used a semi-memory alloy for the ear hooks which also thanks to the rubber cover works well.
Also worth noting are the left and right markings on both ends of the ear hooks.
Being able to change the cable of your earphones is always welcome and that’s exactly the route aune chose (as expected really).
The high‑quality oxygen‑free copper cable with Litz braiding looks and feels great.
Both the modular plug system and the 3.5mm single‑ended and 4.4mm balanced plugs are gold plated.
CONCLUSION
After spending almost 2 weeks with the aune AC55 (which I paired with the FiiO R7, R9, Μ15 and M23 music players, as with past reviews) I have mostly good things to say about it. The 40mm open‑back driver gives it a scale and openness that feel almost out of place in a clip‑on format, with a wide, tall stage, smooth mids, and bass presence that punches far above what its frame suggests. Its warmish, musical tilt makes long sessions effortless, and the modular OFC cable reinforces the sense that this is a compact product built with serious intent. Build quality feels deliberate and durable, volume headroom gives it real authority even from modest sources and as for comfort the flexible ear hooks and soft earpads make long listening sessions feel effortless. Still the AC55 also carries the inherent trade‑offs of its design, isolation is essentially nonexistent, size and weight distribution can feel unusual at first and bass response depends heavily on getting the fit just right. These trade‑offs don’t undermine the experience, but they do define it, the AC55 by aune excels when you want openness, clarity, and comfort, and it’s less suited to environments where isolation or compactness matter.
Priced at just USD199 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 239Euros inside the EU (aune-store.com) the AC55 Reference by aune are priced very well, always for what they deliver. Yes, their design belongs to a different approach which may not be for everyone but because of their surprisingly good audio accuracy, design, build quality, good comfort and high-volume levels they clearly deserve the Golden Award.

SteelSeries’ Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 aims to deliver a premium gaming headset experience with a strong focus on features and flexibility. With dual-wireless connectivity, long battery life and deep software customisation through SteelSeries GG and Sonar, it certainly looks well equipped on paper. But at £179.99, it’s not exactly cheap, so the question is whether those features translate into a genuinely worthwhile experience in day-to-day use…

KitGuru says: The Arctis Nova 7 Wireless Gen 2 is a good headset, let down by its microphone quality.
SteelSeries has announced the Arctis Nova Pro Omni, a new wireless headset featuring a multi-source mixing dock, support for the LC3+ codec over Bluetooth, and a refined base station that can mix up to 4 audio sources simultaneously.
The dock included with the Nova Pro Omni features three USB Type-C ports and two 3.5mm jack inputs/outputs, allowing users to blend audio from multiple devices, such as consoles, PCs, and mobile phones. The headset carries dual Hi-Res Audio and Hi-Res Audio Wireless certifications, supporting both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections for compatibility across PC, consoles, VR, and mobile platforms.
Power is managed via a removable battery system, providing what SteelSeries describes as unlimited use through a hot-swappable secondary battery that recharges within the dock. A 15-minute charge provides 4 hours of playback, while a full charge offers 30 hours of battery life on the 2.4GHz connection with ANC disabled.
The headset weighs 339g and utilises 40mm drivers with a frequency response of 10~40000Hz and 38Ω impedance. It features a retractable omnidirectional microphone and memory foam earcups. Integrated controls include a microphone mute switch, a volume/ChatMix dial, Bluetooth multimedia buttons, and a dedicated dial for adjusting dock settings directly from the earcups. The SteelSeries Nova Pro Omni is now available for £349.99/€399.99/$399.99.
KitGuru says: Set between the standard Nova Pro and the flagship Nova Elite, the Nova Pro Omni brings some of the features introduced in the latter to a lower price point.
The post SteelSeries announces new Arctis Nova Pro Omni first appeared on KitGuru.HyperX is expanding its gaming peripheral lineup with new wired headsets and a high-end controller. The headsets are the latest version of the well-known Stinger (Stinger 3), available in black and white in wired and wireless formats. As for the controller, it's the highly customisable Clutch Talon.
On the audio front, the HyperX Cloud Stinger 3 and its Xbox-branded sibling, the CloudX Stinger 3, have arrived to offer that signature HyperX comfort at a more accessible price point. The battery longevity is the first thing to stand out, with the wireless model now boasting up to 80 hours of battery life. Despite the lightweight frame, HP hasn't skimped on durability, incorporating stainless-steel sliders and 50mm drivers to maintain high immersion. The swivel-to-mute noise-cancelling microphone returns, keeping your comms clear. Lastly, the wireless models offer tri-mode connectivity, allowing you to connect them to a device via cable, 2.4G (dongle), or Bluetooth.
Designed for players who refuse to settle for out-of-the-box settings, the Talon features a tool-free modular design that allows you to swap sticks, D-pads, triggers, and back paddles on the fly. It even supports 3D-printable parts for bespoke ergonomics. Under the hood, it uses Hall-effect sensors for its sticks and triggers, effectively eliminating stick drift while delivering high precision. It's versatile as well, supporting PC, Android, and Xbox via dual wireless connectivity with a solid 30-hour battery life.
Tying the entire ecosystem together is an update to the HyperX Ngenuity software, which has officially graduated from beta. The new version integrates the HEAR360 Audio Engine, giving users access to tools like parametric EQs and advanced spatial audio. It also introduces additional tuning options, such as adjustable actuation points and SOCD (Simultaneous Opposite Cardinal Directions) for keyboards.
The HyperX Cloud Stinger 3 family is now available with a base price of $49.99 for the wired versions and $99.99 for the wireless ones. The Clutch Talon Controller is expected to hit shelves this summer for $159.99.
KitGuru says: Looking to update any of your peripherals soon? Did any of HyperX's new gear pique your interest?
The post HyperX launches modular Clutch Talon Xbox controller and Stinger 3 headset first appeared on KitGuru.Nacon has officially announced the launch of the RIG R8 Pro series, a high-performance dual-wireless gaming headset. The series consists of the R8 Pro HS (PlayStation) and HX (Xbox) and represents a significant technical evolution of the 800 Pro, introducing advanced materials and connectivity options designed for the competitive landscape.
The R8 Pro series (HX and HS) uses custom-built 40mm graphene drivers, creating a lighter, more rigid driver structure that virtually eliminates distortion and maintains total harmonic distortion under 0.5%. This choice allows the headset to deliver a frequency response of 20Hz to 40kHz, tuned to highlight mid-range audio cues like footsteps and reload sounds in competitive shooters. Furthermore, the Pro HS headset is optimised for PlayStation's 3D Audio.
Connectivity has been modernised with a dual-wireless system that enables simultaneous audio mixing. Users can connect to their console via a low-latency 2.4 GHz USB-C adapter while maintaining a Bluetooth 5.2 connection to a mobile device. This allows gamers to take calls or hear notifications without interrupting their game audio. For multi-platform users, the headset supports a new multi-system switching feature that pairs up to 4 separate USB-C transmitters, enabling seamless transitions between a PC, PS5, or multiple consoles with the press of a button.
The R8 Pro series is built for endurance, boasting a battery life exceeding 60 hours on a single charge. When not in use, the headsets can rest in a dedicated base station that handles charging and features fully configurable RGB lighting with over 100 possible colour combinations. Moreover, the proprietary RIG Snap+Lock mod system uses magnetic connections for user-swappable earcup plates and ear cushions. Also, the headsets are further supported by the RIG Navigator mobile app, giving players control over EQ settings, microphone gain, and custom profiles from their smartphones. Both models are priced at $199.99.
KitGuru says: Interested in either of the two new RIG R8 Pro headsets that Nacon just launched?
The post Nacon unveils RIG R8 Pro headsets for PlayStation and Xbox consoles first appeared on KitGuru.Turtle Beach has announced the Stealth Pro II wireless multiplatform gaming headset, succeeding the original Stealth Pro.

Available in black (PC and Xbox) and white (only Xbox), the Stealth Pro II headset uses a 2.4GHz ultra-low-latency connection and supports simultaneous Bluetooth for mobile devices. Turtle Beach confirms the inclusion of CrossPlay 2.0 technology, which allows users to switch between up to 4 platforms via a dedicated transmitter dock. The Xbox model supports Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC, while the PC version is compatible with PlayStation, PC, and mobile systems.
For audio, the Stealth Pro II comes with 60mm Eclipse dual drivers with dedicated woofers and tweeters and Dolby Atmos support for three-dimensional audio. For noise management, the Stealth Pro II features Active Noise Cancellation using four internal microphones. Voice capture is handled by a 9mm unidirectional boom microphone with AI noise reduction, supplemented by integrated beamforming microphones for use when the boom arm is detached.
Power is provided by two swappable 40-hour battery packs, for a total of 80 hours of runtime. The chassis is constructed from anodised aluminium and soft-touch materials, featuring memory foam ear cushions and a mesh fabric suspension headband. Software customisation is available through the Swarm II companion app, which offers a 10-band audio EQ and microphone sensitivity adjustments. The product includes a hard carrying case and is available now for £299.99/$349.99/€349.99.
