TechRadar's October 2026 Recap Names Top-Scoring Gadgets

TechRadar said Sonos Beam Ultra was "the ideal mid-sized Dolby Atmos soundbar." The Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 5 earbuds caught the publication's interest with user-replaceable batteries and then won it over with what it described as impeccable sound quality.

For users who take technology out and about, TechRadar said the DJI Osmo 360 II fixes the flaws of the first generation and gives GoPro and Insta360 "a serious run for their money." The Garmin Fenix 9 Pro delivered "near-perfect performance," according to the publication, at a price tag it politely described as "aspirational."

TechRadar also noted the release of a new phone from Apple, the iPhone 18 Pro, saying it was "pretty impressed" with the device. The recap noted that only products available in a reader's region would appear in the list.

The monthly recap collects products that received 4.5 or 5 stars in TechRadar's in-depth tests. The publication said perfect scorers are usually few and far between in its monthly roundup, but that the previous four weeks had yielded an unusually strong set of reviews. It also invited readers to follow TechRadar on Google News and add it as a preferred source for news, reviews and opinion.

The roundup was compiled by Ruth, TechRadar's Collections Editor, who is responsible for the site's Collections format, described as a themed, curated selection of product recommendations. TechRadar's article said its testers had been reviewing tech across a wide spectrum of markets and had uncovered "some truly outstanding new products."
