It’s been another strong week with everything from smartphones to speakers impressing the team of experts at Trusted Labs.

Every product listed has been thoroughly tested using a mix of real world and lab tests to make sure it is the best of the best, so you can trust our buying advice.

Chord Anni

Chord Anni

As long as you’re not expecting theChord Annito be a full-size integrated amp squeezed into a box smaller than a carton of milk, then this is a true 5-star product. We praised its detailed sound along with its sturdy build quality.

Scored 5/5

Harman Kardon Citation 200

TheHarman Kardon Citation 200is happy in any room of the house or even outside in the garden. The bass performance can sometimes be a bit overenthusiastic, meaning it won’t suit everybody’s tastes, but it’s still an accomplished speaker with handy smart skills.

Score 4/5

Sony HT-A7000

It’s big and expensive for a one-box soundbar, but the HT-A7000 offers terrific performance across a range of sources, making it a sonic delight with movies and music

Score 4.5/5

Razer Kaira X

If you’re after a headset for use with a Playstation console, theRazer Kaira Xis a strong choice. Our reviewer said it was comfortable to wear for long periods, has great tonal balance and good cross-platform compatibility.

Score 4/5

iQOO 7

TheiQOO 7delivers impressive specs and a quietly classy design for a mid-market price. In terms of bang for your buck, it’s right up there with the best we’ve reviewed this year. Our reviewer particularly liked the excellent performance, slick and responsive display and, finally, the balanced camera system.

Score 4/5

Whirlpool W8 W046WR UK

A big drum, low running costs and super-quiet operationmake this washing machinestand out from the crowd. There might be a lack of smart features, although the mid-range price and decent performance during the Eco wash cycle largely make up for this.
