Engadget review recap: An Apple duo, Sennheiser HDB 630, Lenovo Legion Go 2 and more

Engadget's reviews team has been busy testing new devices, including Apple products, gaming handhelds, headphones, and smart glasses. A key question with the M5 MacBook Pro is whether to buy now or wait for the more powerful M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. Sennheiser's HDB 630 offers high-end sound quality in wireless headphones, but its design isn't premium and requires a USB-C dongle. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 is a versatile gaming handheld with a large display, though it can be expensive and bulky. The M5 iPad Pro has notable upgrades, but its high cost and the need for additional accessories make it less appealing than the iPad Air for some. Meta's Oakley Vanguard smart glasses offer features that could replace action cams for outdoor enthusiasts. Other reviews included the Powerbeats Fit, Fractal Design Scape, Galaxy S25 FE, and Amazon’s Echo Studio. Engadget also compiled a list of the best free VPNs and reviewed Private Internet Access VPN. The team announced their "Best of 2025" picks, based on highest review scores across various categories.
