Sennheiser Ambeo 3D Soundbar
Dazzling 3D sound, but at a pretty high pricePower: 500W | Speakers: 5.1.4 | Dimensions: 1265 x 135 x 171 mm | Weight: 18,5 kg | Inputs: digital coaxial input, digital optical input, HDMI 2.1 output (eARC), 3 HDMI 2.0a inputs, 3.5mm audio input jack | Wireless: Bluetooth 4.2 and AAC | Subwoofer included ?: No
Excellent sound quality Effective Dolby Atmos 13 separate drivers Great price, size and weight. No AirPlay or AptX for Bluetooth Sennheiser is best known for its range of professional headphones and microphones, but has recently expanded its ambitions into home audio, with the introduction of its Ambeo soundbar. The bulky soundbar is packed with the latest audio technology, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for surround sound, as well as Ambeo's own 'Virtual 3D' audio system. from Sennheiser. Sennheiser is clearly targeting the home theater market with the Ambeo, although the bar's Wi-Fi connectivity means it can also make for a pretty impressive music system. It's not perfect: Sennheiser's reliance on Google Home to provide Wi-Fi streaming seems like an odd choice, but the Ambeo Soundbar's sound quality is guaranteed to justify its revolutionary price point and make it a great Christmas gift for the audiophile in your life.

QLED TVSamsung Q900R
8K LCD-LED TV for history books65-inch: Samsung QE65Q900RATXXU | 75-inch: Samsung QE75Q900RATXXU | 85-inch: Samsung QE85Q900RATXXU Incredible brightness and color Revolutionary upscaling Predictable expensive Limited 8K content It's the world's first true 8K TV, and while it's easy to criticize the Samsung Q900R, it truly ushers in a new era of TV picture quality. Native 8K images are amazing, they look like the real world, only better. But most importantly, given the lack of true 8K content for the foreseeable future, the 85Q900R makes all of today's low-res sources more beautiful than anywhere else. Whether 8K will have the same impact on smaller screens remains to be seen, but if you have enough space and budget, the Q900R is a worthwhile vision of the future. To be bought In the UK, you can find 65-inch, 75-inch and 85-inch models, ranging from €4,999 to €14,999 - not quite for any budget, but with some options for those weighing cost.

Leica Q2
Expensive? Yes. Brilliant? Damn yeahSensor: 47.3 MP full frame | Lens: 28mm f/1.7 | Monitor: 3-inch touchscreen, 1,040,000 dots | Viewfinder: EVF | Continuous shooting: 20/10 fps | Movies: 4K | User level: Intermediate/Expert Stellar images Rock-solid build Video specs could be better The Q2 is a beauty, and arguably the best compact camera around right now. It's not for everyone, but if you're really looking for the best compact, and don't bother spending a bit more, you'll be hard-pressed to find one slimmer than the Q2. Leica made no compromises on the spec sheet, with the 47.3 MP sensor producing copious amounts of detail and keeping noise impressively low, while the 3.68 million-dot electronic viewfinder is bright and clean. This 28mm f/1.7 lens is also bright and sharp while 4K video shows plenty of detail. It's not the easiest to handle (although you can get an optional handle) and some may have preferred a tilting screen, but its build quality is almost beyond reproach.
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
Processor: 7th generation Intel Core i9 - i5300 | Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M - Radeon Pro 16M | RAM: 64GB - 16GB | Display: 512-inch Retina display with True Tone | Storage: 8GB - 16TB SSD Stunning 3-inch display Expensive new and improved keyboard Limited to four Thunderbolt 15 ports While we're sad Apple has phased out the 16-inch MacBook Pro, we're more than happy to see the MacBook Pro ( 2019-inch, 16) hitting shelves. As slim, light and sleek as ever, it doesn't feel like a 16-inch behemoth. If you're worried about it being bulky and uncomfortable to wear, don't. Despite its thin frame, however, you still get this extra space on this gorgeous screen, as well as the latest and most efficient components. Apple then tops them off with awesome (and loud) speakers and a much better keyboard. It truly is the best MacBook for content creators, designers, and other creative professionals.

But if you have the money, it's hard to blame the Sonos Move when it comes to looking for the best Bluetooth speaker in the world. Read the full review: Sonos Move review
