Best Earphones of the Year 2023: Sony WF-1000XM5
If you aren't on the Apple bandwagon, little else comes close to Sony in the premium personal audio space. The latest in the company's range of true wireless earphones is the excellent Sony WF-1000XM5, which pushes the boundaries of sound quality and active noise cancellation performance way past what you'd expect from a product this small. Usefully, you get support for the LDAC Bluetooth codec, class-leading battery life, and significantly improved adaptability when it comes to ANC. Connection stability to match the sound quality, Bluetooth 5.3, and wireless charging complete the feature list, making this a highly capable pair of wireless earphones. Of course, you'll need the right source device to bring out the best in this headset's performance.

Best Headphones of the Year 2023: Focal Bathys
If you thought that wireless connectivity and active noise cancellation was the domain of only the mainstream electronics brands, think again. Focal proves that traditional hi-fi brands can do top-notch wireless headphones with ANC just as well, if not better. The design might be just a bit too whack for some, and the price might sound a bit over the top for most buyers in the segment, but you do get a certified audiophile experience, along with the obvious benefits of wireless connectivity and active noise cancellation on the go. There's also pretty decent battery life, and you can plug these headphones into a wired setup for traditional lossless listening, just in case you don't want to let go of your long-term audiophile tendencies.

Best Affordable Headset of the Year 2023: OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC
OnePlus has built something of a reputation for itself with its impressive range of budget and midrange products, going way beyond its traditional segment of smartphones. The OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 ANC is among a handful of products in the neckband-style wireless segment still pushing its weight, and the added ANC element makes this particularly relevant even going into 2024. It doesn't cost a lot, and delivers good performance.

Best Premium Laptop of the Year 2023: Apple MacBook Pro 16in M3 Max
Unrivaled in the next generation of computing. The Apple MacBook 16inch with M3 Max is frankly sitting on the top shelf where most of us dare not put our wallets but for those who do, the M3 Max is capable of churning out tons of pro-grade performance without compromises. It’s also a final nail in the coffin for most premium Windows work laptops that fail to bring big battery life, exceptional portable performance and premium chops in a single package. We could be giving this spot to the MacBook Air 15-inch but that doesn’t address the performance value which Intel and AMD are slowly catching up to.

Best Gaming Laptop of the Year 2023: Lenevo LOQ Laptop
The LOQ range from Lenovo is the budget sibling of the Legion series but that’s not enough to get in our good books. This here strikes the right balance between price and performance with little doubt left to pick another rival gaming laptop. It’s also got meaningful features like fast charging that juices the thing up to 80% in just under an hour. Throw in the extra dosh for better computing chops and you will get a 2K display that keeps up with the demanding titles and looks prettier than FullHD. It’s also taking the Legion’s learnings and using them well. From the design that pushes the ports to the rear for a cleaner look to the Lenovo Vantage software which lets you overclock the GPU and get a better LOQ at your games... eh.

High-Tech Car of the Year 2023: Mercedes GLC 300
The Mercedes GLC has been the undisputed luxury-SUV sales star, but Mercedes wasn’t resting on its laurels this year. The sweet-spot in their envious SUV line-up received a major tech and design overhaul to catapult it further away from the competition. Imagine LED headlights so sleek they’d make a superhero envious, and a touchscreen so generously sized, it’s like the SUV version of a blockbuster movie. Forget traditional keys—your fingerprint is the
golden ticket, to customizing everything from seat height to climate control. The GLC’s transparent bonnet mode transforms mundane terrain checks into a high-tech spectacle, while 64 ambient lighting colours turn your drive into a personal light show. The GLC300’s turbo-petrol engine, accompanied by a 48V hybrid touch, glides effortlessly on the road and is one of the smoothest
powertrains on the road. Despite a few omissions, this SUV’s tech prowess secures its spot as the “Best Car of 2023”.

Electric Car of the Year 2023: Hyundai Ioniq 5
Buckle up for the retro ride that’s back from the future…Hyundai Ioniq 5, the triple-threat World Car, Design, and EV of the Year – an electric rockstar in the automotive universe! The pixel-LED
lights hark back to 8-bit party starters, but on the inside, you’ll find recycled materials from PET bottles, plant extracts, and even paperette for the
door cards – it’s like the Avengers of eco-friendly furnishings. V2L tech turns your car into a power bank for everything from laptops to electric bikes while the 217hp motor is the silent hero, launching this hatchback faster than you can say “I love turbochar...” It’s not your father’s hand-me-down, but if you want to be the coolest cousin at the family reunion, the Ioniq 5 ticks all the right boxes. Including the all important range box, making it good for 630kms and sealing the deal for this honour.

Motorcycle of the Year 2024: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
The new Himalayan 450 is like a mountain goat on wheels, effortlessly scaling tricky landscapes while staying glued to the ground, even when you can’t spot the road. Royal Enfield didn’t luck into this—it’s been fine-tuned to dominate off-road and urban
rides alike. With an added punch of power that kicks in quicker than before and shedding some weight, it’s a whole new level of performance waiting to be
unleashed. Quite fitting of the Himalayan moniker while capturing the very essence of motorcycling and that’s why it wins the crown.

Camera of the Year 2024: Nikon ZF
The Nikon Z f goes beyond touching those nostalgic nerves of Nikon FM and FE fanboys and reveals a credible upgrade to the Z6 II. It also takes the place of the most affordable Full-Frame mirrorless ILC in the latest line-up. The autofocus system has been greatly improved from the Z6 II with a fast hybrid
phase-detection and contrast-detection AF module with automatic subject detection that works with a wide range of subjects. A fully articulated LCD, pixel-shift high-resolution mode and a dedicated B&W switch make things special, with the crown jewel being a threaded shutter release.

Action Camera of the Year 2024 - GoPro Hero 12 Black
True action camera segment started with a GoPro, and almost two decades since the first GoPro went on sale, there are not many credible alternatives in the open market to counter the versatility of a GoPro. Our runner-up brand is fast catching up, but as of now, the variety, versatility, and availability of GoPro mounts and accessories remain unmatched. And with 10-bit colour and GP-Log, the Hero 12 Black is ready for those mavericks in the studio
raring to work their magic on the footage. And to sweeten the editing experience, it allows you to
connect up to four Bluetooth microphones or those in your headphones to simultaneously capture audio from these.
