Miniot returns with a sleeker Wheel 3 vertical turntable

The Verge21-05-2025

The original Wheel vertical turntable was a bust, the Wheel 2 redemption, and now the small mom and pop team at Miniot is back for a victory lap with the Wheel 3. It can play your record collection upright on its stand, laid flat on a table, or hung on a wall.
Inside the handmade Wheel 3 turntable you'll find a new optical stylus that the company says 'blows away anything you've heard before!' It also features a new 'bespoke, high-end' amplifier and redesigned linear tonearm that moves up-and-down the spinning record instead of side-to-side like the Wheel 2 I reviewed back in 2023.
The volume and playback slider is still embedded in the rim at the top near the dimmable display, giving you precise digital control over your analog music.
The new slimmed-down design also looks more cohesive, if colder. It's made from two parts: a solid composite on the back married to a polished aluminum unibody front. A Wheel 3 Special Edition will feature a solid wooden back for fans of Miniot's organic roots.
The Wheel 3 can be preordered now for $3,350 / €2,900 with deliveries expected in 10 weeks.

Central Saint Martins B.A. Fall 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Anyone with a passing interest in fashion knows that Central Saint Martins is the conduit through which generations of talent from around the world have passed on their way to becoming some of the most influential designers in the world. In particular, the head-spinning list of alumni from the M.A. course is a who's who of era-defining stars; but just as remarkable about this London institution are the hundreds of graduates each year from across every fashion-related pathway who go on to work behind the scenes in the industry, whether as senior talent in the ateliers of major Paris fashion houses, or across the numerous other, less-remarked-upon facets that make up the industry, from media to event production. And many of those up-and-comers come from the B.A. course, which is better known as a forum where young designers are yet to worry about the pressures of commercial constraints, and can instead let their freak flags fly. The latest showcase of that spirit, held in the cavernous central hall of the former granary building in King's Cross that is now the university's hub, didn't disappoint on the wackiness front: Andy Pomarico's eye-popping carnival floats festooned with flotsam and jetsam found on dumpster dives, with a witchy model in green body paint swinging through a doorway in the center, certainly saw to that; as did Linus Stueben's Y2K-on-acid extravaganza that featured fabric patches resembling toilet rolls stuck to the heels of furry boots, track pants that were pulled down to the calves and then stitched to stay there, and a model walking a robot dog on a leash—complete with a kitschy pink collar, naturally. (A special mention, too, for Matthew David Andrews's kaleidoscopic, wind-blown ladies caught in inclement weather, whose hats turned out to be hiding mini water sprinklers; what could have felt gimmicky ended up having an eerily post-apocalyptic air.) Yet many of the most interesting collections threaded the needle between high visual impact and more subtle messaging. Just take Timisola Shasanya's fascinating eye for proportion, warping scale and shape—shirts piled up around the neck like a kind of shrug, or a top that was artfully draped to rise up behind the model on a six-foot long rod like a kind of ship's sail—to create pieces that spoke to a childhood spent between Lagos and London, as well as to wider conversations around migration, all achieved in supremely elegant style. Or the refined playfulness of Marie Schulze's grown-up outerwear crafted from wide strips of raw silk, streams of fabric bursting from handbags or through the toes of shoes to the sound of a manic orchestral soundtrack.

There's so much to love about these earbuds, most of which are features that make them fun and easy to use without weighing them down with choice or boring options. They're not overstuffed with gimmicks, and that's part of the appeal. Just a clean, polished audio experience that does exactly what you want it to do.

Telefonica, Masorange Said to Hold Early Talks on Vodafone Spain

Telefonica SA and Masorange have held informal talks on a potential deal for Vodafone Spain, people familiar with the matter said, a move that could lead to further consolidation in the country's telecom market. One of the possible scenarios being explored would be to break up Vodafone Spain's fixed-line and its mobile or enterprise operations, due to possible antitrust issues, the people said. MasOrange could also potentially take over Vodafone's low-cost brand Lowi, one of the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private.
