Audio-Technica has shown off a new pair of headphones it claims can deliver up to 70 hours of battery life on a single charge.

Dubbed the ATH-SR30BT, the cans also feature noise-reduction control, meaning audiophiles should be able to block out distracting sounds and focus on their music.

If its the ultimate noise cancellation you want, then Sonys new WH-1000XM2 will block every sound around you – meaning all you hear are your favourite tunes.

If you fancy something even more unusual, how about Bang & Olufsens ridiculously expensive Beosound Edge.

If youve just treated yourself to a new 4K TV then look away now. The buzzword at IFA this year is 8K with both Samsung and LG revealing their eye-popping goggleboxes.

These new tellies offer double the resolution of 4K meaning they are sharper, brighter and more colourful than ever before.

And the clever tech inside also means they can upscale your old movies to make them look better than new.

So if you think 8K is just another fad, think again as LG has claimed more than five million 8K televisions will have been sold by 2022.
