To be reviewed: two new arrivals, Sony’s affordable Bluetooth turntables, and LG’s most popular OLED TV are reviewed this month.
As I write this in the early days of March 2026, it seems that the sad, dark, endless days in the UK are coming to an end. There is sunshine streaming in from the window, with the promise of longer days, spring blooms, less rain and, yes, hayfever.
We hope the weather is looking up wherever you are, too; and making the coming days even brighter is the selection of great hi-fi and home cinema products we have for review that we can’t wait to get your hands on.
We may be turning 50, but that hasn’t dampened our enjoyment of testing AV products and bringing you our honest, in-depth advice on what to spend your money on.
Thank you for all your messages over the past month It will be updated installment. If you’d like to get in touch or if you have any questions about the products we’re testing next, leave us a comment below or email us at whathifi@futurenet.com.
LG C6
Attention may be focused on the W6, G6 and larger versions of the C6 with their improved panel, but the regular C6 will still be LG’s most popular OLED TV (probably i the most popular OLED TV full-stop) in 2026.
We’ll be comparing the 65-inch version to the award-winning C5 to find out if LG has further improved its nearly identical performance:features:price ratio.
Sony PS-LX3BT and PS-LX5BT turntables
Followers of the five-star budget PS-LX310BT we always recommend for newborn vinyls, the new Sony PS-LX3BT turntables and the step-up PS-LX5BT run with the tried and tested formula: automatic and plug-and-play operation, a built-in phono stage for maximum flexibility with system matching and a pre-installed carmridge.
The new models have a fresh lick of paint, updated Bluetooth aptX Adaptive streaming capabilities, and improved features that promise better audio performance. The main difference between the two models is the choice of cartridge, and – at £299 / €350 / AU$469 (for the LX3) and £399 / €460 AU$599 (for the LX5) – they’re still on the affordable side. We have both decks and can’t wait to take them for a spin.
Yamaha YH-4000
Same technology as the high-end, award-winning YH-5000SE, but half the price? That’s the promise laid out by the Yamaha YH-4000 open-back headphones, which use the same 50mm orthodynamic (planar magnetic) driver as their fancier siblings, and sport the same structure and design – but with tweaked damping and an internal filter.
Priced at £2199 / $2499 / AU$3999, can the YH-4000 deliver more of that “exceptional detail resolution and expressive power” we praised in the 5000SE? We’ll find out soon enough.
Unitra WSH-805
We are pleased to welcome a brand new manufacturer – Polish hi-fi brand Unitra – to the company What is Hi-Fi? listening rooms for the first time. We’ve seen Unitra products on display at the High End Munich show in recent years, and we’re excited to finally get our hands on a sample of this analogue, integrated, dual-mono amplifier (£4499 / €4999).
Will its performance live up to the hype of those nicely presented front panel controls and VU meters? We hope so.
Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2
Valerion has raised $10.9 million on Kickstarter to fund its projector range, and we’ve finally got our hands on its first UK model, the VisionMaster Pro 2.
This high-end style box boasts 4K resolution, 3000 ISO brightness and 110 percent coverage of the Rec.2020 color gamut. Valerion also claims to have more or less resolved the projector’s rainbow effect with its latest software update. Let’s see if the projector can live up to the hype.
Hisense HT Saturn
Enjoy the sound of the Sony Bravia Theater Quad system but can’t stretch to the undoubtedly premium price tags? Hisense HT Saturn can be yours. Like the Sony system, the Saturn includes four wireless speakers that you place around your room to work together and create immersive Dolby Atmos sound.
Unlike the Sony system, while the Saturn comes bundled with a subwoofer, it’s also over £1000 cheaper. Let’s hope it sounds good.
