DJI Mavic 4 Pro shines with top-notch video, while Sony's headphones enhance sound and ANC.

: Engadget's latest reviews include the DJI Mavic 4 Pro, praised for its outstanding video quality and advanced features but not yet available in the US. The Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones excel in sound and comfort, maintaining their lead among peers despite a price hike. The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 is noted for its performance and screen but criticized for its keyboard and pricing. Lastly, the LG 27 UltraGear OLED monitor impresses with its 480Hz capability, though its design leaves something to be desired.

Over the recent fortnight, Engadget has showcased a selection of advanced consumer tech products through thorough reviews. The DJI Mavic 4 Pro is positioned as the pinnacle of consumer drones with enhancements in video capabilities, obstacle detection, battery life, and range. However, its unavailability in the US market impacts its immediate reach to potential buyers. Appreciation of its video quality and night-time obstacle detection via LiDAR stands out, according to Steve Dent's appraisal.

The Sony WH-1000XM6, Sony’s flagship over-ear headphones, continue to dominate the audio landscape with significant upgrades. Improvements are noted in sound clarity, active noise cancellation, and overall comfort. Despite a price increase compared to its predecessor, it remains favored for its comprehensive feature set, making it a preferred choice among audio enthusiasts.

The ASUS ROG Flow Z13 (2025 edition) fills a unique niche between gaming laptops and portable workstations. While it showcases an impressive screen and performance, the device is let down by a less robust keyboard and hefty price. Sam Rutherford emphasized its bold aesthetics and potential as a laptop alternative but highlighted its appeal to a specific type of user.

The LG 27 UltraGear OLED monitor demonstrates transformative potential with its 480Hz refresh rate, redefining high-performance gaming experiences. Devindra Hardwar’s review underscores its capability of rendering ultra-smooth visuals and vibrant colors, though it cautions prospective buyers of its expensive cost. Its OLED display and DisplayPort 2.1 provide a glimpse into advanced display technologies.

Complementing these product reviews, Hyundai's Ioniq 9 EV and Remedy's 'FBC: Firebreak’ game provide insights into their respective fields, round out a diverse offering of tech innovations. Hyundai’s SUV gains attention for practicality, while Remedy’s co-op shooter shows promise in the gaming landscape.
