Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a non-invasive wearable electronic ear that's designed to wirelessly monitor what's going on inside a patient's body in real time, and found it to perform with "clinical-grade accuracy."

Around this time last year, as part of its 50-year celebrations, California's Drum Workshop announced the upcoming release of an acoustic/electronic drum set featuring wireless triggering tech. Now the DWe convertible kits have officially launched.

While 5G feels pretty new and flashy, the industry is already making preparations for the next generation. LG Electronics and the Fraunhofer Institute have now conducted a test that set a new distance record for data transmission using 6G technology.

Huawei has launched a breakthrough short-range wireless connection tech, aiming to combine the advantages of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Faster, more efficient and with a vastly reduced delay, it's also got more than 300 companies and institutions on board.

Australian audio company Røde has launched what's claimed to be a wireless microphone like no other, offering unclippable audio recording, lag-free encrypted transmission and compatibility with any camera, smartphone or computer.

Back in April, xMEMS Labs revealed solid-state technology aimed at replacing coil-based speakers in audio wearables like in-ear monitors. Now the company has partnered with Creative Technology for an upcoming pair of true-wireless earphones.

High-end mobile audio brand Astell&Kern has launched the follow up to last year's UW100 true-wireless earphones, which boast key refinements aimed at delivering "uncompromising, exquisite hi-fi sound."

Following its debut at CES 2023, LG announced the global launch of what's billed as the world's first 4K 120-Hz wireless AV-controlled OLED TV earlier this month. Now US pricing/availability has been revealed for 97-inch, 83-inch and 77-inch models.

Following the now common pre-launch online leaks, Sony has officially announced the successor to 2021's WF-1000XM4 noise-canceling TWS earphones. The flagship formula has been improved, and everything squeezed into a smaller and lighter pair of buds.

Adoption of wireless charging has been fairly slow, but it could pick up if it worked over longer distances. Now Aalto University engineers have developed a new system that can allow more efficient wireless power transmission over longer distances.

Engineers have developed a fully integrated wearable ultrasound device that monitors deep tissues in real-time for up to 12 hours. What's more, it's wireless, meaning that patients can stay mobile while doctors track their vital signs remotely.

Gaming accessory brand Turtle Beach has announced a new pair of flagship wireless gaming headphones called the Stealth Pro, which are claimed to deliver "the most effective noise-cancellation in a gaming headset."
