Headphones OnePlus Pro 2

The OnePlus Buds Pro 2 features impressive noise cancellation that can block out the world around you, along with excellent call quality and more than enough comfort to wear for hours. We thought the overall sound was warm and inviting, although they provide the best performance when paired with the latest OnePlus phone.

The only Apple product to make the list this week is the 14-inch MacBook Pro (2023). This laptop was designed for those who need serious power on the go. The upgrades from the previous version are minimal, but that doesn’t stop it from being one of the best laptops you can buy.
