The Meze Audio Poet are the Romanian hi-fi brand’s most affordable and compact pair of open-back planar magnetic headphones. They feature MZ6 Isodynamic Hybrid Array drivers — which the brand partnered with Rinaro Isodynamics, a Ukrainian audio company with over 30 years of planar magnetic experience, to create — that deliver an extremely high-resolution sound with ultra-low distortion (<0.05%). They also have a fully serviceable design, so if components get damaged or worn out over time, they can be replaced.

The iPhone 16e is the brand’s most affordable new iPhone. It replaces the 2022-released iPhone SE (3rd-gen), which Apple has officially discontinued. The iPhone 16e has a similar design to the iPhone 14, including a 6.1-inch display with a notch — no Dynamic Island — that supports Face ID. However, it also has many of the same features as the iPhone 16, including Apple’s A18 processor, an Action button, and support for wireless charging. The big tradeoff is that it only has a single-lens rear camera system, but it makes up for that in battery life … Apple claims it has the best battery life of any 6.1-inch iPhone.

The Grado Signature S950 are audiophile-grade open-back wired headphones from the famed Brooklyn-based hi-fi maker. They share much in common with the brand’s Signature HP100 SE, including the same 52mm drivers. Still, the Signature S950 features Brazilian walnut wooden housings instead of aluminum, which gives them a more stylish look and helps them deliver a more balanced sound.

Nomad’s “V2” ChargeKey is an upgraded version of its original EDC charging cable. The tiny USB-C to USB-C cable is made of braided nylon and can easily fit on a keychain. The big difference with the V2 model is that it supports faster charging (up to 240 watts) and faster data transfer (up to 10Gbps). Also, Nomad dropped the price by $10 — it costs $25 instead of its predecessor’s $35.
