This is a weekly feature where we round up some of the great gear, gadgets, and hardware we’ve covered in the past week.
November already, damn. Got that impending doom feeling from another year ending? Don’t worry, there’s plenty of stuff out there for you to buy to banish that feeling.
The Skydio R1 – a self-flying camera drone
We really loved this drone. Having something that can fly itself and film you just feels… futuristic.

Apple announced a shedload of hardware
It was a busy week if you’re an Apple fan. The company held its October Special Event and announced a raft of great new gear.

Dig the Macbook Air? You’re in luck – there’s a fresh one.
Fan of the iPad Pro? We’ve got you.

KEF’s upcoming LSX speakers look amazing
KEF’s LS50W speakers have a special place in many audiophile’s hearts for their incredible sound and connectivity options. Unfortunately, they cost $2,200.
Luckily for those of us who are a bit financially challenged, KEF is releasing a new series of speakers: the LSX. These are a smaller and cheaper version of the famous LS50W.
The LSX might not be as loud, but they sure do sound great. Check out what we thought of them here.
Google’s USB-C Pixel Buds are… actually good?
We played with the wired version of Google’s earbuds and came away impressed.
Not only do they have great sound, but they’re easily the best headset to use Google Assistant with. Oh, and they’re only $30!
