Five products to look out for this month

-

1 Cambridge Audio AX series £229-£449 whf.cm/axseries

Despite focusing a great deal of attention lately on introducin­g its flagship Edge hi-fi range, Cambridge Audio hasn’t forgotten about the more modest end of the hi-fi market. The AX series comprises two CD players, two integrated amplifiers and two stereo receivers, all promising hi-fi performanc­e on a budget.

2 Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 £350 whf.cm/bose700

The 700s, which will exist alongside Bose’s £289 QC35 II 2018 model, use a four-microphone system with 11 levels of noisecance­llation to choose from. There’s a brand-new acoustic design, as well as motion sensors that detect body movement and allow sound to be tailored to the user’s activity.

3 Sony WH-XB900N £230 whf.cm/ SONYWHXB90­0N

While Bose is focusing on a higher price point, Sony’s wireless noise-cancellers aim low in both cost and sonic frequency. The WH-XB900NS are the latest additions to the brand’s Extra Bass range, with a 30-hour battery life, quick charging and touch controls. One for bass fans, then.

4 Jamo Concert 9 II Series £350-£900 whf.cm/jamoconcer­t9

Having given its long-standing Studio 8 speaker range an update last year, Jamo is now turning its attention to its Concert 9 series. The six-strong range spans standmount­s, floorstand­ers, a centre and a dedicated surround speaker, all of which use Hybrid Compositio­n Conical Cone (HCCC) drivers and silk-dome tweeters.

5 Vizio SB362AN £149 whf.cm/viziosb362­an

Vizio, one of the USA’S leading TV and soundbar brands, is bringing its audio range to the UK for the first time, beginning with its SB362AN soundbar. With DTS Virtual:x virtual height and surround sound technology and Bluetooth, its spec sheet looks a whole lot more impressive than its rather mundane product name.
