CES 2025: The Best Tech Finds Across Luxury Beauty, Fashion, High-End Home Theater and More
Another year, another whirlwind of looking into the future at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Artificial intelligence ruled at the Consumer Technology Association’s annual showcase from Jan. 7 to 10, and the real question was, What won’t be AI-powered in 2025? We found it in everything from your typical screens (TVs, laptops, phones and the like) and apps in every category (such as will.i.am’s new personalized internet radio and beauty makeover platforms), to barbecue grills and beds.
It was hard to ignore the many new smart rings looking to compete with category champion Oura (we counted at least half a dozen versions, many with free subscriptions), the countless iterations of robotic cat litter boxes (there’s truly a design for every type of feline) and even the Electric Salt Spoon that lightly zaps food to make it taste saltier — a wonderful innovation for sodium-conscious foodies.
More from The Hollywood Reporter
We scoured through hundreds — if not thousands — of products across over 4,000 exhibitors at the Venetian Expo, the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay and other venues where official CES events took place. We also stopped by Pepcom (an unaffiliated showcase that took place on Jan. 6 ahead of CES) and attended a handful of brand previews at surrounding hotels such as the Four Seasons and Park MGM, to name a few. (Our schedule included Delta’s keynote, which finished with a concert by rock icon Lenny Kravitz; and Yahoo!’s CES party featuring 50 Cent.)
After nearly five days at CES and surrounding tech events in Sin City, we narrowed down our favorite tech across lifestyle categories such as beauty, fashion, wellness and luxury home products: think everything from LG’s buzzy transparent TV (which is finally on sale after debuting last year) and color-changing sunglasses to chic appliances fit for a celebrity’s closet and a skin-care device that’s expected to be spotted on Hollywood beauty buffs’ feeds soon.
Below, see the winners of our best of CES 2025 list. Most of our picks are products you can buy within the year, with a few available to purchase right now or in the coming months.

Best of CES 2025: Beauty Tech
Shark Beauty CryoGlow Mask
Shark took a bite into the beauty category with the launch of its hair styling tools in 2021 — and now it’s diving into skin care with the new CryoGlow Mask, which debuted in the U.K. in late 2024. Now available in the U.S., it’s essentially a mini medispa in a box: the LED light therapy facial device delivers red and blue light treatments and features medical-grade stainless steel cooling for the under eyes. On the menu are four treatments ranging from five to 15 minutes to be used daily; Shark notes that a 12-week study with 60 subjects found that users reported a decrease in the appearance of fine lines, redness and acne; firmer-looking skin and a more even complexion.
When we tested the CryoGlow Mask in person at CES, we loved that the device’s adjustable straps accommodated our small head, and that the iQLED technology and mask design effectively covered every inch of our face. Even more welcome during the busy tech show: the InstaChill pads that brought sweet relief to our tired eyes.

L'Oréal Cell BioPrint
L’Oréal took to CES again to unveil its latest skin-revolutionizing innovation: the Cell BioPrint, which is designed to be used by dermatology offices and beauty retailers. (Sorry, at-home beauty buffs: you’ll still need to see a skin-care pro.)
The device looks a bit like a Mac Mini and uses technology from Korean startup NanoEnTek to assess not only your skin’s biological and chronological age and condition, but also which skin-care ingredients will be the most effective. It works like this: a tape strip is placed on your cheek and placed into a buffer solution, which is then analyzed by the machine. Skin Connect device then takes photos of your face and you’ll fill out a questionnaire about your skin concerns (say, fine lines and wrinkles, acne or dark spots) and lifestyle. Finally, you’ll get a report on the products you do and don’t need to achieve your beauty goals and how they’ll affect your skin.
The L’Oréal Cell BioPrint will launch first in Asia later this year.
Dreame Airstyle Pro Hair Dryer Multi-Styler
Here to give the Airwrap a run for its money, Dreame’s Airstyle Pro is a seven-in-one hair styling tool in a chic, leather-coated package — a departure from its glossy $600 competitor. Launching in May for $399, the hair dryer includes a targeted dryer attachment, two curling accessories, firm and soft smoothing brushes, a round volumizing brush, a smoothing flyaway attachment, a filter cleaning brush and a storage case. And as we experienced on the floor at CES 2025, the styler rivals the Airwrap in speed and decibel level.
(It joins the travel-friendlier Dreame Pocket high-speed hair dryer, on sale for 43 percent off.)

Chamelo Aura Color-Changing Glasses
Four sun-friendly styles in one fashionable frame
Prefer to see the world through rose-, blue- or purple-tinted lenses? Chamelo’s color-changing Aura sunglasses let you switch up your style without swapping frames. A tap on the arm changes the tint of the water-resistant Prismatic lenses from clear to three stylish hues, while the battery The company’s got star power, too: NBA All Star and former New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury is Chamelo’s chief brand officer.
Withings ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Smartwatch
For those who want a handsome time keeper without the constant reminder chimes and vibrations, Withing’s ScanWatch Nova Brilliant is one of the most stylish smartwatch options out there. It syncs with both iOS and Android devices and tracks most of the same biometrics as most of today’s popular smart rings and watches: think body temperature, activity, heart rate, sleep quality and stages, blood oxygen levels and menstrual cycle. Chose from wristbands made of leather, metal mesh, recycled P.E.T. and sport fabric and cases made of gold or titanium gray.
Best of CES 2025: Home Theater
Samsung Frame Pro 4K TV
Samsung’s best-selling Frame TV gets a chip upgrade in the new Pro 4K model, which now boasts the NQ4 Gen3 AI processor and a Neo QLED display that promises more dynamic colors, sharper contrasts and better local dimming. Gamers will appreciate the smooth 144Hz refresh rate — but the real hero here is the new Wireless One Connect Box that eliminates the need for pesky cables and introduced a smoother, wire-free aesthetic.
The unveiling coincides with the tech company’s new partnership with Art Basel and the expansion of the Samsung Art Store with over 3,000 works from the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art and the estates of René Magritte and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Samsung hasn’t yet announced the Frame Pro’s pricing or release date; stay tuned for more.

TCL QM6K Series QD-Mini LED Smart TV
Film buffs, gamers and sports superfans are the ultimate winners with this stunning new screen
Sports fans, movie lovers and gamers alike will be happy to upgrade to TCL’s new QM6K series Quantum Dot Mini LED 4K smart TV, available in 65-, 75- and 85-inch sizes ($1,000 to $2,000). We witnessed the stunning screen at CES, where the company showcased the new Halo Control System that delivers precise dimming, HDR brightness and deep blacks for best-in-class picture quality. TCL’s AiPQ Pro processor, Game Accelerator 288, AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and 144Hz refresh rate combine for ultra-smooth gaming, live sports and film action.
It comes with Google TV and boasts Dolby Atmos and Vision IQ, DTS Virtual:X, IMAX Enhanced certification and Filmmaker Mode. You’ll also get a free 5.1.2 channel Q75H soundbar valued at $599 when you pre-order.
If you want bigger, perhaps go for TCL’s 115-inch screen (just know it’ll cost you a cool $20K).
Hisense 136MX MicroLED TV
Hisense pegs its new 136MX MicroLED TV as its first “consumer-ready” screen in its category — and judging by what we saw at CES, those with a big enough budget and wall space may want to ready their wallets. The massive 136-inch smart TV houses nearly 25 million microscopic LEDs, Hisense’s Hi-View AI Engine X chipset, Dolby Vision IQ and Atmos, HDR10+ and DTS Virtual X, offering unparalleled picture quality, 10,000 nits of maximum brightness, stunning contrast and impressive clarity.
Gamers will love the 120Hz variable refresh rate, Auto Low Latency Mode and FreeSync Premium Pro for the ultimate gameplay experience.
XGIMI Ascend Motorized Floor-Rising Screen with Speakers
A 100-inch screen and soundbar duo that rises to the occasion
When paired with XGIMI’s Aura 2 ultra short-throw 4K laser projector ($2,700), the soon-to-launch Ascend motorized screen and soundbar duo makes for a cutting-edge addition to luxe home theaters — no wall mounting needed. The 100-inch floor-rising display features a motorized abient light rejection (ALR) screen and two Harman Kardon soundbars into a single sleek, space-saving design. We love the midcentury modern-inspired look and the fact that the Ascend can also be partially extended to suit your space or entertainment system.
LG Signature Transparent OLED TV
Though LG debuted the world’s first transparent 4K OLED smart TV at CES 2024, the game-changing display is finally shipping beginning the week of Jan. 16. The 77-inch see-through television uses LG’s Zero Connect Box, a wireless receiver that maintains a clean, cord-free look for your statement screen.
It uses a contrast filter to switch from normal view to transparent, and features the Alpha 11 AI processor 4K for smooth video and clear sound, AI Picture Pro and AI Super Upscaling, Dolby Vision and Atmos, Filmmaker Mode and more.
Best of CES 2025: Audio
Technics EAH-AZ100 Bluetooth Earbuds
At CES, we were blown away by the immersive and powerful audio — not to mention the all-day comfort and impressive adaptive noise cancellation — of Technics’ Reference Class EAH-AZ100 True Wireless Earbuds. Equipped with Dolby Atmos, LDAC support and 10mm magnetic fluid drivers, these Bluetooth earbuds are a must-have for any audiophile who wants to hear crystal-clear sound, deep bass and all of the richness in between. We also love the three-device multipoint connectivity, Qi wireless charging and the 10-hour battery life. (The case offers up to 28 hours of charge.)
LG xboom by will.i.am Bounce Bluetooth Speaker
LG’s existing Xboom speakers get an AI boost via the company’s new partnership with will.i.am, who was recently named the Bluetooth audio product line’s Experiential Architect. The xboom by will.i.am audio lineup comprises three new speakers (the Bounce, Grab and Stage 301) and a pair of comfortable Buds earbuds designed by the Grammy-winning musician — all ready to bring the bass to wherever (and however) you’re partying.
The larger devices use AI calibration to adjust their sound settings based on the physical space surrounding them, while the up-bouncing passive radiators let them live up to their bass-happy name. The line’s AI Lighting technology means that the speakers’ lights pulsate to the beat of your music, while AI Sound customizes audio playback based on the rhythm, voice or melody. The Bounce and Grab models boast convenient hooks and straps for on-the-go listening, while IP67 rating makes them water- and dust-resistant.
New to the products is a dedicated button that instantly connects to will.i.am’s new RAiDiO.FYI platform that features an AI radio host that creates a personalized station based on listeners’ music and entertainment preferences.

Elvie Rise Smart Bouncer and Bassinet
It can be a joy to cuddle and bounce babies — but not when you’re going into hour two of rocking your bundle of joy to sleep. Exhausted caregivers will likely find must-needed rest with the Elvie Rise, a two-in-one smart bouncer and bassinet designed for newborns up to six months. The sleeper’s automated SootheLoop technology tracks your bounce and repeats the pattern (because those little ones have a way of detecting a new rhythm) to keep babies asleep when it’s in bassinet mode.
The bassinet features a firm, flat mattress with breathable fabric to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics’ safe sleep guidelines, and the app lets users track infants’ sleep patterns. The Rise can also be used as a manual or automatic bouncer for those moments when you need a quick hands-free break. (Blake Lively and Brittany Mahomes are a few stars who have used Elvie’ss portable breast pumps.)
Olight Ostation X 3-in-1 Automatic Battery Charger
Stop rummaging for dead batteries and keep your rechargeable power organized with Olight’s new Ostation X. It’s a genius three-in-one storage and charging solution for up to 32 rechargeable AA batteries from most brands EBL, Eneloop and Amazon Basics, to name a few. Just feed Ni-MH cells into the device (no need to organize them by the +/- ends) and it’ll detect and charge them regardless of polarity. Once they’re fully powered up, the batteries roll down into the dispensing section. And if you accidentally add non-rechargeable batteries, the Ostation X will sort them into a bin so you can properly dispose of them later. (An option for AAA batteries is coming soon.)
Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra Robotic Pool Cleaner
Your pool has a sparkling future with this smart robot
Available Feb. 10, Beatbot’s latest splash in the luxury pool cleaning market comes in its expanded AquaSense lineup (from $1,499). Your resident pool maintenance person (whether it’s you or someone else in your household) might be more than happy to be replaced by the new Aquasense 2 Ultra robotic pool cleaner ($3,450) and finally enjoy their swims. Here’s why: It creates custom cleaning patterns, detects oak and palm leaves from fruit and seed debris, gets itself unstuck, automatically clarifies water (thanks to eco-friendly clarifier made from sustainably sourced crab shells) and navigates different pool sizes and designs. On top of all of that, the robot parks itself at the pool’s surface and releases excess water — no more fishing your device from the bottom of the deep end.
It does all of this with the help of its HybridSense technology, 27 sensors, 11 motors, a 200-watt water pump and a four-core Cortex-A7 1.8GHz CPU. It uses AI to generate algorithms to create the most efficient cleaning routine, and the app lets users control and monitor the device remotely.
Mova X4 Pro Wet/Dry Vacuum
At CES, we watched as Mova’s X4 Pro wet/dry vacuum suck up chocolate syrup, oats and milk effortlessly off the floor, leaving the booth surface spic and span. Launching later this year, the cordless device easily maneuvers around corners and under cabinets, and has 20,000Pa suction power and an easy hot water mopping spot cleaning button that sprays for 10 seconds — so expect this to be your new go-to in mess management.
Ceragem Home Medicare Bed 2.0
Visit the doctor from home or indulge in a massage with this luxe sleep upgrade
The world already has app-enabled mattresses and sleep-tracking smart rings — but at CES 2025, Ceragem’s Home Medicare Bed 2.0 showed the possibilities of an even smarter bedroom sleep setup. The bed comes with an AI health concierge that integrates with telemedicine, allowing for real-time medical support. The mattress has a built-in spinal thermal massage module, customizable light and aromatherapy, and voice control for accessibility and convenience.
Philips Wi-Fi Video Palm Recognition Smart Lock
An all-in-one smart lock with digital and analog security
Philips’ 5000 Series Wi-Fi Video Palm Recognition Smart Lock (model DDL250X-V-14HWC) lets you use your palm (it reads the unique veins of your hand), PIN code or a traditional key to unlock your door — so it works even in the rare event it goes offline. It’s the ultimate all-in-one lock for those who value smart and “old-school” security, and features a built-in 1080p video camera with an intercom, doorbell chime and a remote control app. We’re also fans of the Wi-Fi for connectivity, reliability and security (we prefer it over Bluetooth); it also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls. It’s expected to launch in the U.S. later this year.
Hisense LuxCare Mini Washer-Dryer Combo
A tiny but mighty pro-grade laundry machine
Hisense is primarily known for its TVs (it debuted an 8K screen in 2021), and it unveiled an impressive lineup of home appliances at CES 2025. Among them is the LuxCare Mini washer-dryer combo that delivers professional-level garment care — and you don’t even have to step foot outside your walk-in closet. (Don’t let the image fool you: the compact appliance sits right on your countertop.)
It uses a process of microbubbles to gently penetrate and clean stains from delicate fabrics — think red carpet-ready silks, cashmere accessories, lingerie and more. The brand notes that a “rapid 79-min. wash-and-dry cycle” includes steam sanitation and eliminates 99.99 percent of bacteria and 100 percent of mites, and “effective HPV inactivation.” Adding to the compact footprint is the retro-chic design.
Brisk It Zelos-450 Smart Grill
AI-powered grilling for smart chefs
Following the release of Vera (its generative cooking AI for barbecuing) last year, Brisk It is helping chefs cook smarter with the new Zelos-450 smart grill debuting this spring. We’re already big fans of the company’s Origin 580 model, and the latest BBQ simplifies grilling even further with the new Vera 2.0 platform. It boasts 450 square inches of grill space, cooks between 180 to 500°F, creates new recipes and automates every step of cooking, from turning the temperature up or down to notifying users if food needs attention (say, a spray of water or a flip).
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft
A more vibrant reading experience for busy bookworms
Amazon launched its first color e-readers last October, and the new seven-inch Kindle Colorsoft was among the bookworm-friendly devices on display at the company’s CES experience. The tech giant’s first e-ink screen makes reading more immersive with the new Page Color option that turns monochrome books into vibrant displays, while the battery lasts for up to eight weeks on a single charge. Like the rest of the best-selling Kindle lineup, the glare-free Colorsoft automatically adjusts the brightness and screen warmth in the sunlight or indoors. There’s also a wireless charging dock ($40; sold separately) that can hold Kindles even in their cases.
Pocketbook InkPoster
E-reader brand Pocketbook‘s new InkPoster is a sleek solution for those who don’t need an entirely new entertainment system to dress up their walls with more art. Available in 13.3-, 28.5- and 31.5-inch sizes and launching in April, the e-ink frame’s anti-glare screen gives the impression of textured color paper — without the blue light or heat emissions of other digital alternatives. Even more convenient: the battery lasts for up to a year on one charge, and the wireless connectivity makes it easy to swap out the art and create collections through the InkPoster app. While the price point may rival the more affordable TVs on the market, you won’t need to worry about using up the same amount of energy or adding to your electricity bill.
Klydoclock
Add more art to your everyday routine
Don’t need all of the bells, whistles and never-ending notifications of your phone’s clock? That’s where Klydoclock‘s artful digital display comes in. It features a regularly updated library of digital works and animations by independent artists from around the world, and we especially love the minimalist wood design that looks especially handsome on bookshelves, mantels and tabletops. Another thing we love: the free lifetime subscription currently has thousands of pieces (and counting).
Wonder Petal Camera and Wonder Blocks
Give your backyard’s ecosystem a high-tech boost
Mother Earth depends on bees to keep her biodiversity — and now, there’s an app and backyard tech for that. From the company that brought ornithophiles the Bird Buddy comes Petal, a playful solar-powered outdoor camera that helps nature lovers keep a careful eye on the critters crawling and flying around in their yards. Wonder’s AI-powered app recognizes everything from bugs to human faces, counts the types and numbers of tiny visitors and shares insights on how to best support your winged and multi-legged neighbors.
The colorful device can be mounted, hung or nestled anywhere else outside, and it comes with a variety of lenses to capture wide angles or close-ups in photos, videos or livestreaming. The Petal camera is designed to work with the company’s modular Wonder Blocks that include planter bases, terrariums, seed trays, butterfly feeders and other accessories for creating insect sanctuaries and pollinator-friendly stations. The Petal camera and Wonder Blocks are expected to launch on Kickstarter this spring.
Bodyfriend 733 Massage Chair
An ultra-luxe relaxation station with a price tag to match
Bumblee and Pikachu were just a few of the pop culture comparisons we overheard at CES for Bodyfriend’s luxurious new 733 Massage Chair (it also comes in a very Iron Man red/blue). Delivering in November, the $20K robotic relaxation station features a “biomimicry-inspired design” and individually rotating arms and legs, three levels of heat therapy, magnetic hand acupressure, airbags, ECG measurement and more wellness treatments for every part of your wellness routine — from strength training and post-exercise recovery to full-body massages and daily rehabilitation. The machine even helps you stand back up once you’re done with your session.
The 733 Massage Chair also boasts 50 different programs, and you can control it via the app or the controls on the built-in display. (The decidedly more pocketbook-friendly option, the Falcon, is also available for just $9,500.)
