Another week down, and, per usual, a bunch of new tech and gadgets have been announced.

This past week, Bose introduced a new ecosystem of wireless speakers, Google revealed a Whoop competitor, and reMarkable announced a new entry-level e-ink reader. But that’s just scratching the surface.

Below, we’ve rounded up all the most interesting new releases and announcements you might have missed from the past week.

Black Bose smart speaker with fabric grille and touch controls on top against a white background. Bose Lifestyle Ultra SpeakerThe Bose Lifestyle Ultra Speaker is the company’s new entry-level smart speaker with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth streaming capabilities. It also has an auxiliary jack, so you can use it as a wired speaker with a computer or turntable. As a standalone mono speaker, it features two front-firing and one up-firing driver. For the best stereo experience, you can configure two in a stereo pair. In Sonos terms, it can best be described as a hybrid between the Era 100 ($219) and Era 300 ($449) smart speakers. read more Four woven nylon watch bands in light gray, black, blue, and red colors stacked vertically. Google Fitbit AirThe Fitbit Air is a screenless wearable designed in a similar mold to Whoop. Instead of working like an extension of your smartphone, it simply tracks your health metrics and sends them to Google’s all-new Health app (which replaces the Fitbit app). It features multiple sensors (including heart rate, accelerometer/gyroscope, infrared SpO2 and skin temperature) and supports haptic feedback for alarms. As for battery life, Google claims it can last a week on a single charge. Unlike Whoop, the Fitbit Air doesn’t require a subscription. But with one, you get access to an AI-powered health coach, which can help plan customized workout and nutrition plans. read more Person holding a gray digital notepad and writing on it with a black stylus pen.

reMarkable Paper PureThe reMarkable Paper Pure is the company’s most affordable e-ink tablet to date. As the successor to the 2020-released reMarkable 2, the Paper Pure is a 10.3-inch digital notebook that’s designed to mimic the experience of writing and drawing on paper. It shares similar features to its pricier siblings, in that it comes with an active stylus and boasts a 3-week battery life, but it’s a monochrome tablet so you can’t write or draw in color. read more Two white and copper Devialet Phantom speakers on a clay tennis court with a tennis player silhouette in the background. Devialet Phantom Ultimate (Roland-Garros Exclusive Edition)Ahead of the French Open, Devialet has introduced special-edition versions of its flagship wireless speakers. They’re the same Phantom Ultimate wireless speakers released in fall 2025, but with clay red accents inspired by the tournament’s signature clay courts. Like before, they come in two different versions: the larger Phantom Ultimate 108dB and the smaller Phantom Ultimate 98dB. Naturally, these special-edition versions are a little pricier than the standard models. read more

Tall black glossy floor-standing speaker with curved top and base on a white background. Garmin JL Audio PrimacyGarmin acquired JL Audio, an American hi-fi brand known for its in-car and in-boat audio systems, back in 2023. Now, leveraging its expertise, has released a high-end wireless stereo system. The JL Audio Primacy consists of two active speakers (either tower or standmount) and one network streamer. The brand describes it as “a premium home audio system that offers extraordinary sound performance that’s tuned exactly for each listener’s space.” read more Long black Bose soundbar with fabric covering and glossy top panel on a white background. Bose Lifestyle Ultra SoundbarThe Bose Lifestyle Ultra Soundbar is the company’s new flagship Dolby Atmos soundbar (taking that title from Bose’s Smart Ultra Soundbar, which was released in late 2023 and priced at $999). At $1,099, it’s priced and positioned as a direct rival to Sonos’s current flagship soundbar, the $1,099 Arc Ultra. It’s a 5.2-channel soundbar with nine drivers: four front-facing full-range drivers, two up-firing full-range drivers, a center tweeter and two of Bose’s proprietary PhaseGuide drivers. According to the brand, the Dolby Atmos soundbar is “capable of playing back three-dimensional sound with lifelike realism and a convincing sense of height, all by itself.” read more

Black Bose subwoofer speaker with a glossy top panel and fabric-covered sides.

Bose Lifestyle Ultra SubwooferThe Bose Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer is the company’s flagship wireless subwoofer for 2026. Priced at $899, it’s a direct rival to the Sonos Sub 4, which costs exactly the same. According to the brand, the Lifestyle Ultra Subwoofer “delivers deep, controlled bass that remains clear at any volume, adding weight and authority for the ultimate home theater experience.” read more Three modern floor-standing and bookshelf speakers in light wood and black finishes on a gray background with "Concert Legacy" text. Jamo Concert Legacy SeriesThe Concert Legacy is the higher-end of Jamo’s two new Concert loudspeaker ranges. It draws inspiration from the original Concert 8 and Concert 11 loudspeakers that were introduced in 1996. According to Jamo, the refreshed line “explores how those classics would have naturally progressed over three decades of innovation.” The range consists of three models: the Concert Legacy 8 bookshelf speakers, the Concert Legacy 9 compact floorstanding speakers, and the flagship Concert Legacy 11 floorstanding speakers. read more Four Jamo Concert Element speakers in black and white, including two tall floor-standing models and two smaller subwoofers, on a gray background. Jamo Concert Element SeriesThe Concert Element is the more affordable and lifestyle-focused of Jamo’s two new Concert ranges of loudspeakers. Developed with HarritSørensen, a Copenhagen-based industrial design firm, the series is characterized by its innovative “The Circle over the Square” architecture. This means that each driver is hidden underneath a circular module that, according to the brand, extends “beyond the shallow rectangular enclosure, making the sound-producing element both the visual and acoustic center of the speaker.” The range consists of four loudspeaker models: the Concert Element 50 bookshelf speakers, the Concert Element 70 compact floorstanding speakers and the flagship Concert Element 90 floorstanding speakers. There’s also a wired subwoofer, the Concert Element SW10. read more Two black DJI handheld gimbals, one holding a smartphone showing a woman and dog on screen, and a small remote control with display. DJI Osmo Mobile 8PThe Osmo Mobile 8P is a higher-end version of the Osmo Mobile 8 that DJI released in November 2025. Like its non-P sibling, the 8P is a three-axis handheld gimbal that helps creators capture stabilized videos with their iPhone. The 8P has a few upgraded features, but the standout is its detachable remote control with a built-in screen. This screen mirrors the view from your iPhone and lets creators more easily record themselves away from the gimbal when it’s standing on its built-in tripod. The catch? Like many of DJI’s latest gadgets, it doesn’t have a US price or release date at this time. read more

Pair of tall floor-standing speakers with wood veneer sides, silver front panels, and multiple drivers, set against a gray curtain backdrop.

Audiovector R5 ArretéAudiovector’s R5 Arreté is a pair of high-end floorstanding loudspeakers that, according to the brand, are the first models in the R Series to carry technologies inherited directly from its flagship $165,000 R10 Arreté loudspeakers. Each loudspeaker has a 3.5-way design and packs the same tweeter and midrange drivers as the R10 Arreté, but just doesn’t have as many of them (or any long-throw bass drivers). So you’re getting a loudspeaker with many of the same technologies, but in a smaller and more affordable package. read moreAbout the Author: Tucker Bowe has been on Gear Patrol’s editorial team since 2014.
