Engadget has recapped reviews of 15 devices published over the past two weeks, spanning products from Apple, Sonos, Beats and DJI. Its 26 September roundup names seven devices, including the iPhone 18 Pro, Apple Watch Series 12, AirPods 5, Mac mini and Mac Studio.

Engadget identifies the iPhone 18 Pro’s camera upgrades as its biggest spec-sheet change. It says the Apple Watch Series 12 adds health-tracking features, while its audio tools remain unavailable.

Both versions of the AirPods 5 have active noise cancellation, according to the roundup. Engadget says the Mac mini and Mac Studio have new chips and higher prices, without giving chip names or price details.

Sonos’s new products include the Ace Ultra headphones and Beam Ultra soundbar. Engadget says the headphones’ standalone integration with Sonos systems worked well in early access, and that the soundbar’s up-firing drivers enable Dolby Atmos sound.

The roundup describes September as a busy month for gadget launches, with more reviews expected in October. It does not name all 15 devices or provide comparative test results.
