GoPro Hero6 Black

ACTION CAMERA

$750

A new GoPro camera is here. The Hero6 Black might look like its predecessor, but it is equipped with twice the capture performance.

It is now able to capture 4K video at 60 frames per sec (fps) and full high-definition video at 240fps, with the most advanced stabilisation implementation ever in the Hero series, according to its maker.

Other improvements include better dynamic range and low-light performance, and an added digital zoom. The Hero6 Black is water-resistant to depths of 10m, and now offers faster uploading speeds via 5GHz Wi-Fi.

1More Dual Driver ANC Lightning

IN-EAR HEADPHONE

$279

For those who are not satisfied with iPhone 8's bundled Lightning headphones, consider the 1More Dual Driver ANC Lightning in-ear headphones.

They come with a five-in-one controller that houses not only the usual microphone, playback and volume controls, it also packs a digital-to-audio converter and an active noise-cancelling (ANC) switch. The ANC is battery-free as it draws power from your iPhone or iPod, and it is supposed to detect and eliminate outside noise.

Its dual-driver system, which comprises a balanced armature and a dynamic driver, is said to deliver an accurate audio output.
