Five products to look out for this month
INSIDER
1Sonos Sub Mini
£429
Sonos launched its mini soundbar earlier this year with the Ray, and now it has paired it with a subwoofer. Introducing the Sub Mini, a cylindrical sub measuring just 23cm by 30.5cm. It can be paired with any of Sonos’s soundbars, from the Ray to the Arc, or integrated into an existing Sonos surround set-up. Sonos has designed the Sub Mini to slot in under the Sub Gen 3 which retails for £749, making the Mini a more attractive option for those looking to complete their Sonos entertainment set-up on a stricter budget.

2iPhone 14 Pro Max
£1199
Another year, another iPhone – and as Apple frequently claims, this is the best one yet.
The 14 Pro Max is certainly a formidable phone, with a 6.7in OLED ProMotion display that now can reach a peak brightness of 2000 nits, and finally includes an always-on display option. Apple has also reinvented the notch, making the camera and FaceID cutout an interactive widget for media controls and other app functionality – dubbing it the Dynamic Island. So is Apple on to a winner here? And is it indeed the best iPhone yet?

3 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II
£280
Bose is out to reclaim the active noise cancelling crown from the likes of Sony and Apple with the QuietComfort Earbuds II. These Bluetooth in-ear buds are a total redesign from the first generation set and include “CustomTune”, a feature that will calibrate both audio performance and noise cancelling based on the unique shape of your ear. This is achieved via the headphones playing a tone every time you take the buds out of the charging case and place them into your ear. The tone is picked up by the internal microphone which determines the ear canal’s acoustic response. But with tough competition from the likes of the AirPods Pro 2 (2022), Samsung Buds 2 Pro and Sony LinkBuds S – can Bose fend off its rivals with the QCII?
