Engadget has published a roundup of 15 device reviews over the past two weeks, covering major releases from Apple, Sonos, Beats and DJI. The article highlights Apple's latest offerings, which include the iPhone 18 Pro with significant camera improvements, the Apple Watch Series 12 with enhanced health tracking features, updated AirPods 5 with active noise cancellation, and new Mac mini and Mac Studio models powered by updated chips. Sonos has also announced new products, including the Ace Ultra headphones that now function as a standalone member of the Sonos ecosystem and the Beam Ultra soundbar featuring up-firing drivers for genuine Dolby Atmos support.

Key details from the reviews reveal that whilst the iPhone 18 Pro represents the main draw for Apple's September releases, the company has also added ANC to both AirPods 5 models, though reviewers note that a single model would suffice. The Apple Watch Series 12 introduces controversial audio tools that are not yet available, and both the Mac mini and Mac Studio have increased in price despite their processor upgrades. Sonos's platform overhaul, called Sonos 27, accompanies the launch of the Beam Ultra soundbar, which can now deliver real Dolby Atmos sound rather than virtualised overhead effects, representing a significant upgrade from previous models.
