Sonos Playbase

Soundbars are a great alternative to the tinny noise of most TV’s built-in speakers, but they often fall short of expectations. So naturally, we’re excited that audio expert Sonos could soon be launching a new home entertainment system. Details of the ‘Playbase’ leaked online via a retailer’s listing, and while someone might be getting a swift telling off, we’re glad they’ve given us a chance to save up. Available from March at Sonos, priced £550.

CCM Spitfire

As if motorbikes didn’t scream ‘man’ enough already, British manufacturer CCM had to go and make a model crafted from the same steel used to make WWII fighter planes. The aptly named Spitfire features a 600cc single-cylinder engine, chunky 19-inch wheels and a slightly more modern digital dash. Is it good enough to overlook the fact that James Blunt already has one? It might just be. Available at CCM Motorcycles, priced £7,995.
