7Hz has been one of the brands to watch ever since it released the Timeless back in 2021. That IEM is, in no small part, responsible for the influx of planar magnetic IEMs that have now become a regular feature in this space, pushing in-ear monitors into new and exciting territory. At this point, it’s a classic, but all things change in time. 7Hz has officially unveiled its new flagship: the 7Hz Aurora.
Elysian Acoustic Labs is best known for its ultra-premium IEMs, including the much-lauded Annihilator and Diva, halo-tier products that have set trends in the IEM space… while costing $3,000 and $1,300 respectively. The Elysian Pilgrim is a different beast entirely. Aimed at bringing that high-end sound quality to a more accessible price point, the Pilgrim uses a combination of three Sonion balanced armatures and a custom-developed 9.2mm dynamic driver.
In the world of high-end ergonomic chairs, few brands are bigger than Steelcase. It has been an industry leader for years and the Steelcase Leap one of its best-selling and most popular products to date. It’s a staple recommendation in Best Of lists and for good reason: when properly adjusted to match your body, it’s one of the most comfortable chairs you can buy. Like all great ergo chairs, it doesn’t come cheap but is well worth the investment: the Steelcase Leap V2 is excellent.
Chillkey is back with its latest mechanical keyboard and it’s a doozy. We were impressed by its first product, the Paw65 but this is of a whole other caliber. The Chillkey ND75 comes in a full aluminum case, pre-lubed switches and stabilizers, tri-mode wireless, tons of foams for sound tuning, an OLED screen, VIA programmability, and more. At $99, it offers a complete custom keyboard experience, well-exceeding much of the competition, including the Keychron Q1. If you’re looking for a quality keyboard for typing, gaming, and everything in between, it should definitely be on your wish list.
Elysian Acoustics is finally pushing into the mid-range with the announcement of its Pilgrim pair of in-ear monitors. While it is best known for its Diva and Annihilator earphones, $1,599 and $2,999 respectively, the Pilgrim comes to market at $399 while retaining the company’s signature detailed sound and beautiful design. It features a hybrid, triple--driver design, and is available at HiFiGo now.
iFi Audio is one of the biggest names in the audiophile space. Its products routinely make best-of lists and push the limits on sound quality, features, and power for their size. We’ve put its latest product, the iFi GO Bar Kensei through its paces, seeing just what it has to offer over the original GO Bar. It’s a tiny, very pocketable DAC/amp that puts out a surprising amount of power — enough for most over-ear headphones, let alone in-ear monitors (IEMs) — and supports advanced features like sound customization with filters and its own X-Bass and X-Space enhancements, as well as JVCKENWOOD’s K2HD upscaling tech. It exists on the high end of the dongle DAC price spectrum, but if you want an audiophile experience on the go, it delivers.
Over the last couple of years, ASUS has really stepped up its game when it comes to its gaming keyboards. Since last year, it has released two veritable bangers: the ROG Azoth and the ROG Strix Scope II 96. Both dramatically exceeded expectations, expertly walking the line between enthusiast keyboards and gaming keyboards. The ROG Falchion RX is a different beast, embracing a compact form factor and a low-profile design. But despite its differences, it also embraces the same enthusiasts and excellent performance that made those other keyboards so appealing. At $170, it's definitely on the expensive side and won’t be for everyone, but if you’re a fan of compact keys or are already in the ROG ecosystem, it’s worth a closer look.
In May of last year, I reviewed the Lofree Flow and concluded that it was one of, if not the very best, low profile keyboard you could buy in sound and feel. That still stands today, nearly a year later, but a new challenger has entered: the Lofree Edge.
