Engadget’s latest review roundup highlights OpenFit Pro, Nex Playground, Sony A7 V, MSI laptop, and AirTag upgrades

Engadget’s latest review roundup covers five recent tests: Nex Playground is a motion‑tracked family gaming box with a solid library but requires a subscription; Shokz OpenFit Pro delivers effective ambient-noise reduction and comfortable open-ear sound with Dolby Atmos support; MSI Prestige 14 Flip AI+ is a powerful ultraportable with a bold OLED screen and many ports, but its trackpad is awful, keyboard dull, and the display is limited to 60Hz; Sony A7 V offers fast shooting and excellent image quality with accurate autofocus, though video lags behind rivals and the grip can be uncomfortable; Apple AirTag (2026) is louder with longer range and a more useful Precision Finding feature, but still lacks a keyring hole and its accessories remain pricey. Expert scores accompany each review, ranging from the low 80s to the high 90s, with prices listed for context.
