The Honor Earbuds Open aren’t just good open-ears, but they’re good earbuds period.

A spec-heavy Android tablet

Some improvements; big price jump

The Honor Pad V9 takes the basic iPad principle, strips away the unnecessary extras, and adds in some useful tools.

The Panasonic RB-M600 are cheap over-ear headphones with a really useful feature and some welcome extras.

The Asus Zenfone 12 Ultra is overly familiar, with few changes versus its predecessor and a lack of unique features to earn that ‘Ultra’ name.

A speaker is for life, not just for parties

The Xiaomi Poco X7 Pro goes above and beyond what you'd expect a budget phone to deliver.

There's no question that B&W's 'entry level' earbuds have great audio, but occasional connectivity dropouts and a few missing features mean they aren't yet rivalling class-leaders at this level.

Take too much away from an excellent budget product, and it leaves you with a skeleton.

A bigger screen but a bigger price to pay

The stamina saves the day
