WATCH AND LISTEN

Turn your living space into an auditory and visual fun palace with some of the most exciting and sophisticated TV and sound equipment out there

1 PANASONIC FZ802D

Low price doesn’t mean low end; Panasonic’s cheapest OLED pulls down the HCX Pro processor from higher models which means it does some fantastic things. These include Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and HDR10+ – and the picture is just amazing. From £1,300, panasonic.co.uk

2 BEATS POWERBEATS PRO Resistant to sweat and fitting super-snug on any ear, Beats’ fitness-focused earphones have everything you need to pump your way through a private workout – and that includes Apple’s H1 wireless chip, which stops signal dropouts.

£219, beatsbydre.com

3 LG C9

If you’re a gamer this is a top-line TV, with a 1ms grey-to-grey response time on its OLED pixels, a tiny 12.9ms input lag, and Nvidia G-Sync support via a firmware update. Even if you’re just kicking back, it’s an incredible panel, available in 55, 65 and 77in sizes. From £1,399, lg.com

4 COWON PLENUE D2

A budget digital audio player it may be, but there’s nothing budget about the sound of the second-gen Plenue D. It’s capable of playing back 24-bit/192kHz WAV, FLAC, ALAC and AIFF files, and has a massive battery that just won’t quit. £259, cowonglobal.com

5 SONY WF-1000XM3

True wireless has never sounded so big – Sony’s 6mm drivers are a rich bonus in a set of earphones that would shine even with lesser sound. They do noise cancelling, with mics pointing front and back, and can even live-upscale your audio. £220, sony.co.uk

6 BOSE NC 700 HEADPHONES

Bose’s handle on the magic of noise cancelling can’t be argued. Its latest salvo of wireless cans goes even further: they carry peerless NC with voice-isolating mics that can let the important stuff through, and voice assistant integration to boot. £350, bose.co.uk

7 KEF LSX

The LSX isn’t just a set of glorious-sounding and powerful compact speakers, it’s a full hi- fi system in a box, with a pair of 100W amplifiers, all the wireless technology you could want, and a stack of inputs. Plus, let’s face it, it looks great. £1,000, uk.kef.com

8 SAMSUNG Q950R

Extravagance in TV form, Samsung’s high- end panel runs at a full 8K resolution, and upscales lower-res content in a smart, realistic way: we’ve literally never seen anything quite like it. An astonishing thing.
