If you’re looking for a cool-looking retro-inspired turntable to style up your home, Bangkok-based Gadhouse has announced a new lineup of its cute and cool Cosmo portable record players, the see-through Solar Edition that will run you just $200.
Made with beginners in mind, Gadhouse’s Solar record players are compact, with a removable hard-shell dust cover, and all the basics a vinyl newb could need to get started, including built-in 5-watt speakers for playback anywhere, as well as RCA connectivity for use with an amplifier or powered speakers and Bluetooth for connecting to a Bluetooth speaker.
This time, though, Gadhouse has added a new range of colors to the lineup (dubbed Solar) and a design that may look a little familiar to those of a certain early 2000s vintage who had a classic Mactinosh iMac G3 computer on their desk. The Cosmo Solar Edition come is three new transparent colors, as described in the Gadhous press release:
Each turntable features 33 1/3 and 45 RPM playback with an auto start and stop feature to help preserve your records as well as the Solar’s moving magnet (MM) cartridge, and the turntable also has play, pause, backward, and forward playback controls and pitch control for some weird warping fun. With bass and treble dials, you can also dial the sound to your liking.
Dual headphone jacks (3.5 mm and the bigger 6.35 mm) offer diversity in the wired headphones you can connect (or other wired audio outputs). The Gadhouse Cosmo Solar also features an FM radio and USB/SD inputs that can be used to playback music stored on them or you can use the USB port to record your vinyl right to a USB stick.
The Gadhouse Cosmo Solar Edition turntables are available now for $200 at the Gadhouse website.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
