Audeze has unveiled the Maxwell 2 gaming headset at CES 2026

Audeze has unveiled the second generation of its Maxwell gaming headset at CES 2026. The Maxwell 2 is a comprehensive refresh aimed at competitive players and anyone seeking more immersive audio when gaming on PC or consoles. The original Maxwell headset was our pick for best premium gaming headset in 2025.

The headline upgrade is Audeze’s patent-pending SLAM technology, which the brand claims improves spatial cues while delivering “punchier” bass. Maxwell 2 pairs that with 90mm planar magnetic drivers, which offer a wide frequency range of 10Hz to 50kHz. Audeze says the result is clearer detail for every in-game sound from subtle directional footsteps in competitive FPS games to bass-heavy moments like big explosions with near-zero distortion.

An upgraded suspension strap with ventilation holes aims to ensure comfort during longer sessions and a new earpad design gives your ears more space. A new magnetic attachment system should make earpads easier to swap.

The Maxwell 2 headset includes an AI noise-canceling mic setup with AI-assisted noise removal on a removable hypercardioid boom mic. The headset can connect with a wireless USB-C dongle as well as Bluetooth 5.3. Battery life is rated at over 80 hours of wireless playback and the headset supports USB-C fast charging.

Pricing is set at $329 for the PlayStation version and $349 for the Xbox model (which supports Dolby Atmos on compatible devices). Both versions also support Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and Nintendo Switch and they’re available now.

XGIMI’s Titan Noir Max 4K projector has a dynamic IRIS for increased contrast

XGIMI, which burst on the scene in 2025 with several impressive projectors, has unveiled its latest high-end model called the Titan Noir Max. The new model revealed at CES 2026 has many of the bells and whistles found on professional-level projectors including a dynamic IRIS system for improved contrast, along with a new thermal system designed to boost brightness.

The Titan Noir Max has a design to XGIMI's Titan model announced last year, but it's taller and a bit squarer with an elegant grille-like pattern on the front. As with other XGIMI models, it features a laser light engine and 4K video quality, though the company didn't say if it had the same big Texas Instruments 0.78-inch DMD (digital micromirror device) chip as the original Titan model. 

The key new feature is a dynamic IRIS system that boosts native contrast to 10,000:1 for deeper blacks and brighter highlights. At the same time, it boasts new "precision tuned optics" (ie a better lens) also designed to improve contrast and color nuance. 

Another key feature is a re-engineered DMD architecture that can handle "substantially higher light power densities," XGIMI says. This should allow for increased brightness, though the company didn't provide a figure in ANSI Lumens. It would be impressive if it topped the 5,000 Lumen Titan, though. 

Many other specs are lacking, like color accuracy in the Rec.2020 space. However, the company is promising a lot, saying that the Titan Noir Max will offer "the stability, accuracy, and reliability required for color-critical work, studio environments, and high-end installations." At the same time, it's also targeted at home enthusiasts, promising to "turn a blank wall into a cinematic event." 

XGIMI's Titan was only recently released for $3,999 but there's no word yet on the price or release date of the Titan Noir Max. Unlike the Horizon 20 series (which has a smaller 0.47-inch DMD chip) the Titan has received very few reviews so far, but one French projector site gave it a solid score.

Brisk It brings its AI cooking tech to an indoor oven at CES 2026

Brisk It has shown off AI-enabled smart grills at CES before now, but for 2026, the company is taking its cooking tech indoors. With the Neoma multi-function countertop oven, the company offers AI features that can serve as both sous chef and nutritionist, helping you create dishes that fit your budget, diet and other lifestyle needs. The Brisk It Agentic AI can also help with meal planning and grocery orders on top of automatic cooking cycles for recipes it selects.

The Neoma has a temperature range from 90 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and cooking times of one minute up to twelve hours. This means you can do everything from baking to roasting, air frying and more. In fact, it comes with an air fry basket, baking pan, oven rack, and crumb tray. The robust steel construction, glass door and interior space should make the Neoma well-suited for most kitchens.

Brisk It isn’t leaving the grill game though. The company also announced the AI Hybrid Gas Grill at CES. The hybrid bit describes the dual gas and wood pellet combustion, giving users the ability to infuse wood smoke in their high-heat grilling sessions. Of course, Brisk It’s AI goes to work here too, with adaptive cooking and personalized meal plans.

The AI Hybrid Gas Grill will be available at retailers later this year. The Neoma AI Countertop Oven will hit Kickstarter in February before a wider retail launch. Brisk it didn’t mention pricing for either model in its press materials.

The HP Omnibook Ultra 14 at CES 2026: Super sleek and surprisingly durable

At CES 2026, HP is showing off its latest flagship consumer laptop: The Omnibook Ultra 14. It features an all-new super thin design that’s much tougher than it looks. 

According to HP, the Omnibook Ultra 14 is the “world’s most durably slim 14-inch consumer notebook,” which is a somewhat convoluted way of saying the system remains quite portable — just 0.42 inches thick — while still passing 20 different military standard tests (MIL-STD-810) for things like shock resistance, drops and extreme temperatures. The whole system is crafted from aluminum, though instead of taking a unibody approach like you see on Apple’s MacBooks, HP opted for forge stamped manufacturing which is said to give the laptop added strength and bend resistance. The result is a notebook that’s both 52 percent lighter than the previous model at 2.8 pounds and five percent thinner than a 2025 M4 MacBook Air 13. And after seeing it in person, I have to say it looks pretty slick, too. 

As you’d expect from a premium ultraportable, the Omnibook comes with a vivid 3K OLED display, up to 64GB of memory, 2TB of storage and your choice of either an Intel Core Ultra 3 CPU or a Snapdragon Elite X2 chip. That said, thanks to an exclusive partnership with Qualcomm, anyone planning on running a lot of AI-based apps on the Ultra 14 may want to go with the Snapdragon variant as it’ll come with a slightly more powerful NPU that maxes out at 85 TOPS (that’s trillions of operations per second) rather than the 80 TOPS you’d get from other OEMs. Furthermore, to help support strong sustained performance, the Ultra 14 is also the first Omnibook to feature a built-in vapor chamber. 

Granted, as a pretty straightforward ultraportable, this thing doesn’t have a ton of special features. But even so, I appreciate that HP didn’t cut corners regarding its keyboard, which has a nice feel that’s not too stiff or bouncy and sits above a rather large touchpad. The company even found room for quad speakers and three USB-C ports that offer Thunderbolt 4, power delivery (USB PD 3.1) and DisplayPort 2.1.

My one small nitpick is that I would have liked to see an SD or microSD card reader as well, but considering HP’s emphasis on portability and toughness, I’m not surprised that it didn't make it. The other thing I’m not so sure about is the Omnibook name in general. It’s been a little while since HP axed the Spectre branding for its top tier consumer laptops and I kind of wish HP would bring it back as it sounds better and feels more befitting of a flagship system like this. 

Regardless, if you’re in the market for a premium 14-inch Windows laptop, the Omnibook Ultra 14 looks like it will be a very strong contender when it goes on sale later this month starting at $1,550.

Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon X2 Plus chip at CES

CES tends to bring a wave of news from chipmakers, and Qualcomm has used this year's event to announce the Snapdragon X2 Plus laptop processor. This is a more modest version of the flagship Snapdragon X2 Elite chip that Qualcomm unveiled in September. 

The Snapdragon X2 Elite will be available in the coming generation of Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs and its integrated Hexagon NPU can deliver the 80 TOPS performance benchmark for powering artificial intelligence tasks. The chip is also equipped with a third-generation Qualcomm Oryon CPU with either six cores or ten cores. For comparison, the Snapdragon X2 Elite gives options of either 12 or 18 cores. 

According to the company, this iteration of the CPU boasts up to 35 percent faster single-core performance compared with the previous generation. It also says the six-core model has up to 10 percent faster multi-core performance over the prior model, while the ten-core option has up to 17 percent better multi-core performance. Both versions of the Snapdragon X2 Plus come with an Adreno GPU that has improved performance up to 29 percent over the past iteration.

XGIMI, best known for projectors, launches its own smart glasses

Projector maker XGIMI has turned up at CES to launch its own range of AR glasses, but don’t get the champagne out too soon. MemoMind is a new brand under which its AI-infused eyewear will be sold, with two distinct units arriving at some point in the near future. The company says it has leveraged its know-how in optics and engineering to produce glasses which are unobtrusively light, all the better for blending into your daily life. Fashionistas will even be overjoyed to learn the glasses’ ship in eight different frame styles, five different temple designs and can be worn with prescription lenses. 

Memo One is the company’s flagship option, with dual-eye displays and integrated speakers so you can see and hear your AI assistant. The Memo Air, meanwhile, is a more stripped down model  weighing just 28.9 grams which just has a single eye display. Unfortunately, the company is using microLED displays rather than waveguides, making them a far harder sell for a lot of would-be users. After all, putting something that small so close to your eye but behind your prescription means it’s a painful experience for short sighted folks to focus on text. As I explained in my Halliday review, this technology is no friend to the glasses wearers who would otherwise be the ideal early adopters.

Update Jan 5, 2026: I have never been so happy to post an update, as I have now seen these in person and learned that they do not use microLED displays. In fact, they do use waveguides, making them a lot more attractive than I had initially thought. In fact, the glasses they remind me the most of is Even Realities’ G1, which I reviewed and absolutely loved.

In fact there are plenty of similarities, including the fact you need to tilt your head up to activate them. The waveguide prisms are a lot taller here, giving you plenty more real estate for your important data. To the point where the homescreen was set to include a full stock tracker (with graphs) and still had room for the time and notification pane.

They’re also surprisingly light, despite the fact the model I tested was the feature-packed flagship as opposed to the display free version.

The glasses are just a vehicle for the company’s AI assistant, promising translation, summarization, note-taking, reminders and contextual guidance. Unlike some of its would-be rivals, XGIMI says its platform will switch between OpenAI, Azure and (Alibaba’s) Qwen depending on what it thinks will offer you the best result for each task. Naturally, we’ll need to get them in to test before passing final judgment on their qualities but, you can color us naturally hostile to those damn microLEDs until we’re convinced otherwise.

XGIMI says the flagship Memo One will be available to pre-order “soon,” most likely after MWC in March. It’ll cost $599, with prescription lenses available for an additional, as yet unspecified charge, and the other models coming further down the line.

This story was updated to rectify incorrect information from the company’s press release.

Soundcore at CES 2026 Turns Everyday Spaces into Portable Sound and Cinema

Personal entertainment has drifted out of fixed rooms and into commutes, bedrooms, trails, and backyards. People bounce between earbuds, smart speakers, and projectors, often juggling separate ecosystems that do not feel designed with each other in mind. The friction is no longer just sound quality, but how easily gear fits into those shifting contexts, from the desk where you need awareness, to the pillow where you need silence, to the field where you want a movie under the stars.

Soundcore’s CES 2026 lineup follows that drift. The AeroFit 2 Pro, Sleep A30 Special, Boom Go 3i, Nebula P1i, and Nebula X1 Pro aim to move with you rather than live in one place. The common thread is collapsing trade‑offs, open‑ear comfort and ANC in one pair of buds, tiny speakers with long battery life, and projectors that pack a theater into a handle‑equipped box, each tuned to a different moment when sound or vision matters.

Designer: Soundcore (Anker)

Soundcore AeroFit 2 Pro

AeroFit 2 Pro is built for people whose days swing between needing to hear the world and wanting to block it out. The five‑level ear‑hook can reposition the nozzle so the buds behave as open‑ear hooks during runs or desk work, then slide into a semi‑in‑ear ANC form when focus or isolation is needed, without swapping hardware or carrying two pairs.

The liquid‑silicone hooks and 56 degrees of articulation keep pressure off the canal for all‑day wear in open‑ear mode, while Adaptive ANC 3.0 checks noise up to 380,000 times per second and makes 180 adjustments per minute in ANC mode. The buds include 11.8 mm drivers, spatial audio with head tracking, LDAC support, IP55 rating, and differing battery lives, up to 7 hours and 34 with case in open‑ear, up to 5 hours and 24 with case in ANC.

Soundcore Sleep A30 Special

Sleep A30 Special takes over when the day ends and the noise does not. The triple noise reduction system combines active noise cancellation, passive blocking from the low‑profile fit, and adaptive snore masking that targets disruptive frequencies without making the room feel unnaturally silent. The ultra‑compact shape is tuned for side sleepers who usually cannot tolerate bulky earbuds pressing against a pillow overnight.

The earbuds tie into the Soundcore app to deliver Calm Sleep Stories directly, alongside AI brainwave tracks and white noise. The hardware is only half the story; the curated content and extended battery life let people build a consistent wind‑down routine, from reading in bed with subtle noise reduction to drifting off to a story without worrying about wires, over‑ear pressure, or keeping a phone nearby.

Soundcore Boom Go 3i

Boom Go 3i is the speaker that lives on a backpack strap rather than a shelf. The palm-sized form and 15 W output make a picnic or campsite feel less quiet without needing a huge cylinder. The 4,800 mAh battery offers up to 22 hours in Eco mode, so it can handle a weekend of light use without visiting a wall outlet, and it can lend some of its charge for emergency phone top‑ups.

The IP68 rating means it can handle dust, sand, and submersion, which is useful when it gets dropped in a stream or buried in a beach bag. The dual‑mode strap mounting system lets it hang or cinch tightly to a pack, bike, or tent pole, and the LED grille with diagonal light patterns makes it easy to spot in a dark campsite or stowed in the bottom of a gear pile.

Soundcore Nebula P1i

Nebula P1i is the projector for people who want movie‑night flexibility without a permanent ceiling mount. It offers 1080p resolution and 400 ANSI lumens, enough for dim‑room viewing, with a built‑in 0-12 degree tilt stand to aim at walls or screens without stacks of books. Official Netflix and Google TV support mean it behaves like a familiar streaming box, not a bare projector that needs extra hardware.

The flip‑open side speakers swing out for better stereo separation, turning a compact cube into a mini theater without extra cables. Intelligent Environment Adaptation 3.0 handles autofocus, keystone, and screen fit, so the projector can quickly lock onto whatever surface is available. It is the kind of device that can live in a closet until a rainy afternoon or impromptu game night makes a big picture suddenly appealing.

Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro

Nebula X1 Pro is the extreme end of the same idea, a mobile theater station on wheels. It uses a 3,500 ANSI‑lumen 4K triple‑laser engine with 110% Rec.2020 color, 5,000:1 native contrast, and 56,000:1 dynamic contrast, bright enough to throw a 200‑inch image outdoors at night. The integrated wireless 7.1.4 sound system, certified for Dolby Atmos, means the audio is as much a part of the experience as the picture.

The planned bundle adds a 200‑inch inflatable screen and a wireless pump that inflates in about five minutes and holds air without a constant blower, keeping the system quiet during viewing. Dual wireless microphones and AI spatial adaptation handle setup, tuning sound and image to the space. Together, the projector and screen turn any patch of ground into a temporary cinema without generators, scaffolding, or separate speakers cluttering the site.

Soundcore at CES 2026: Entertainment That Travels With You

These five products sketch a day‑long arc: AeroFit 2 Pro for the commute and office, Sleep A30 Special for the hours when noise is unwelcome, Boom Go 3i for the trails and parks in between, and Nebula P1i and X1 Pro for turning small rooms and big fields into makeshift theaters. The common thread is not just wattage or resolution, but designs that respect where people actually listen and watch now, moving with them rather than asking them to stay put.

eufy Wraps the Front Door in Smarter Vision and Power at CES 2026

The modern front door has a lot to juggle. Couriers drop parcels, friends arrive unannounced, kids race in and out, and somewhere in the background, there is a quiet worry about missing something important or not catching something suspicious. Many homes already have a patchwork of doorbells, lights, and locks that only half cooperate, or lean heavily on cloud subscriptions and frequent battery swaps that never quite stop being a chore.

eufy’s CES 2026 security lineup treats that threshold as a single design problem. The Video Doorbell S4, Solar Wall Light Cam S4, and Smart Lock E40 share a few big ideas: higher‑resolution cameras, AI and radar‑assisted detection, and power systems built to run for months or indefinitely, while keeping most of the intelligence and storage local instead of streaming everything to a server somewhere far away.

Designer: eufy (Anker)

eufy Video Doorbell S4

The Video Doorbell S4 is the greeter. It wraps a 3K sensor into a 180‑degree horizontal and vertical field of view, which means it can see from the ceiling down to the doormat and across the entire porch in one shot. That panoramic view captures faces, packages, and anyone standing off to the side, so you are not left guessing whether a delivery was left just out of frame.

eufy’s OmniTrack technology and built‑in radar focus on people rather than every passing car or branch. As someone approaches, radar detects motion and distance, then AI locks on and adjusts the zoom so the visitor stays centered, whether it is a courier bending to drop a parcel or a neighbor walking up the path. The 3K clarity holds up to around 26 feet, with 16 GB of local storage keeping recordings on the device.

eufy Solar Wall Light Cam S4

The Solar Wall Light Cam S4 is the guardian that wraps light and vision around the entryway or side yard. It combines a 4K camera with an f/1.6 lens and a vertically adjustable mount, up to 45 degrees, so it can look down into blind spots near the wall while still watching the approach. The 4K resolution and color night vision make faces and details legible even when the only illumination is the light itself.

Power is handled by a detachable 2 W solar panel feeding a 10,000 mAh battery, which gives freedom in where you mount it. The panel can sit where the sun actually hits, while the light and camera stay where they are most useful. Multiple lighting modes let the fixture shift roles, daily illumination for paths, brighter security lighting when motion is detected, and festive RGB scenes that turn the same hardware into holiday decor.

eufy Smart Lock E40

The Smart Lock E40 is the final layer at the door, replacing keys and fingerprints with 3D face recognition. A quick glance is enough to unlock for pre‑registered users, which matters most when your hands are full of groceries or luggage, and you would rather not dig for keys or touch a screen. A built‑in 2K camera with a head‑to‑toe view records who is at the door, aligning the lock with the rest of eufy’s camera‑centric security story.

The E40 runs on a PowerDuo system, a 15,000 mAh main battery backed by an 800 mAh reserve that keeps the lock alive during swaps or unexpected drain. It is rated IP65 for weather resistance and carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 certification for mechanical security. On the software side, it speaks Matter, Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings, sitting comfortably inside a broader smart‑home setup while doing most recognition and storage locally.

eufy at CES 2026: A Front Door That Thinks for Itself

These three products sketch out eufy’s view of the front door in 2026, not as a collection of unrelated gadgets, but as a layered system where the doorbell tracks arrivals in 3K, the wall light extends 4K color vision and ambient lighting without new wiring, and the smart lock recognizes faces and controls access while adding its own 2K camera. The common threads, higher‑resolution optics, AI and radar, generous batteries and solar, and local‑first design, make the entryway feel less like a tangle of hardware and more like a single, thoughtful interface between home and street.

Anker’s CES 2026 Charging Lineup Treats Power as a Coordinated System

Charging has become a daily background task with a mix of wall bricks, wireless pads, power strips, and docks that rarely feel coordinated. As devices become faster and more power-hungry, the friction shifts from “do I have enough power?” to “how many adapters do I need without cluttering the desk?” The answer usually involves a drawer full of chargers that don’t talk to each other and rarely work where needed.

Anker’s CES 2026 portfolio treats this as a system. The Anker Charging lineup introduces four products, the Nano Charger, Prime Wireless Charging Station, Nano Power Strip, and Nano Docking Station, sharing ideas like smarter device recognition, Qi2 25 W wireless, AnkerSense View, and ActiveShield 5.0, but slotting into different moments where power is needed, wanted, or quietly essential to keeping momentum going without searching for another cable.

Designer: Anker

Anker Nano Charger (45W, Smart Display, 180° Foldable)

The Nano Charger recognizes recent iPhone and iPad Pro models in seconds, then uses a three-stage power profile to deliver up to 45 W tailored to the device. That auto-matching unlocks faster charging when the battery is low while easing off as it fills, avoiding overstressing batteries for people who charge overnight or keep devices plugged in during long work sessions without thinking about optimal timing.

TÜV-certified Care Mode keeps the phone’s battery about 9 °F cooler than other 45 W chargers, a quiet win for long-term health. The small smart display shows real-time power and temperature with friendly icons, and the 180-degree foldable prongs let the charger sit in tight outlets while keeping the screen visible, fitting desk plugs, kitchen outlets, and behind-cabinets spaces where flat bricks fail.

Anker Prime Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1, MagGo, AirCool, Foldable)

The Prime Wireless Charging Station handles an iPhone, earbuds, and a watch without three separate cables. It uses Qi2 25 W wireless charging to bring iPhone speeds close to wired, quoting 80% in about 55 minutes for an iPhone 17. The stand folds into a palm-sized block lighter than an iPhone 17 Pro Max, so it can live in a bag full-time, turning one USB-C input into a small charging island.

The AirCool airflow system keeps the charger and devices at stable temperatures when everything is stacked overnight or during work sessions, important when running 25 W to a phone while also topping up a watch and earbuds. That thermal management keeps the 3-in-1 from becoming uncomfortably hot on a nightstand or desk, and the foldable form clears cable clutter from hotel rooms and home offices, making it the kind of charger that actually gets packed for every trip.

Anker Nano Power Strip (10-in-1, 70W, Clamp)

The Nano Power Strip is a dual-zone power bar that lives at the desk edge instead of under it. It combines six AC outlets with two USB-C and two USB-A ports, with a single USB-C delivering up to 70 W, enough to run a laptop or gaming handheld directly. The clamp-on design keeps the strip fixed in place while making ports easy to reach, so you stop crawling under desks to plug in temporary devices.

The built-in 1,500 J surge protection shields connected gear from spikes, which matters when monitors, desktop PCs, and audio equipment all share one outlet. Having the USB ports face forward and the AC outlets below the desk creates a cleaner visual line and makes it easier to manage cable runs, turning the strip into permanent desk infrastructure that handles both power and data charging without sprawling across the surface or tangling behind a monitor stand.

Anker Nano Docking Station (13-in-1, Triple Display, Built-In Removable Hub)

The Nano Docking Station is a 13-in-1 dock for people who treat a laptop as their main machine but want a desktop-class workspace. It supports triple-display output with up to 4K resolution on a single monitor, up to 100 W upstream charging, and USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, and SD / TF 3.0 card slots, all running at up to 10 Gbps, where it counts for fast file transfers and external storage.

The built-in 6-in-1 removable hub slides out, letting someone leave the desktop cable tree intact while taking key ports and card readers on the road with a single, slim module. That bridging between permanent and mobile workflows makes the dock feel less like a fixed base station and more like a system that adapts to whether you are spending the day at a desk or heading to a meeting with just a laptop and the small hub in a bag.

Anker at CES 2026: Charging as a Coherent System

These four products sketch out Anker’s view of charging in 2026, not as isolated bricks and pads, but as coordinated tools that follow people from pocket to bedside to desk. Instead of chasing ever-higher wattage alone, the lineup leans into smarter interfaces, cooler operation, and forms that respect the spaces they live in, the kind of thinking Yanko Design readers expect from everyday hardware that earns its place by working better and quieter.
