May Gadget Picks Spotlight $100 Fitbit Air and $650 Sony 1000X as Tech Prices Climb

Summary
$100 Fitbit Air led the month’s standout gadgets, offering weeklong battery life and broad health tracking without the subscription model used by rivals such as Whoop.
Anker’s Solix E10 also stood out as a modular home backup battery system, letting users stack up to five batteries per module and connect up to three modules as power-grid worries grow.
Premium audio and display gear dominated the list: Sony’s 1000X The Collexion headphones impressed despite a $650 price tag, while Sony’s Bravia 9 II TV pushed brightness to 4,000 nits.
That premium tilt ran across the month, with Asus’s dual-screen ROG Zephyrus Duo starting at $4,500 and Anker’s SpaceFlow projector accessory costing $400 on top of a $2,500 Nebula X1.
The roundup lands as gadget prices broadly rise—helped by RAM cost pressures hitting devices such as Nintendo Switch 2 and Steam Deck OLED—and as Google’s I/O put more focus on Gemini and Android XR.
