Tesla’s New Model Y Takes the ‘Cyber’ Look Mainstream, Minus One Key Design Choice

After a long stream of leaks, Tesla has officially revealed the new edition of the Tesla Model Y, often referred to as its ‘Juniper’ codename, at least for the Chinese and Australian markets, though a U.S. release is surely eminent, too. The news confirms many rumors that have swirled around the first significant update to the vehicle since it initially launched in 2020. 

The nonchalant reveal process marks a dramatically different tact for Tesla compared to the scene of last year’s “WeRobot” Cybercab unveiling or the now somewhat infamous shenanigans of the Cybertruck reveal five years earlier. And yet, the new Model Y is a much bigger deal for the brand and the automotive world, at least in the near term.

That’s because the Y is not only Tesla’s most popular model but has also long topped charts as the best-selling EV worldwide. Some automotive analytics groups have even crowned the Y as the best-selling car in the world, at least in 2023. 

Here’s a rundown of the significant changes in the newly revealed Tesla Y for 2025 that we know about so far.

Its Updated Look Clearly Takes Cues from Tesla’s ‘Cyber’ Vehicles

The new hood and headlights of the new Tesla Model Y should look very familiar to anyone who has seen photos of Tesla’s Cybercab concept revealed back in 2024.

Tesla says the new Model Y is “completely redesigned,” though you’d be forgiven for thinking that at least some of the car remains the same, especially the sides.

One of CRKT’s Best-Selling EDC Knives Gets a Major Lock Upgrade

Have it your way

The new versions of these knives differ not only in the button lock but also in the blade and handle material choices.

The knives are available in D2 or 14C28N steel. While either option makes for a solid, hardworking knife, D2 is better for those who prefer edge retention, whereas 14C28N offers better toughness and corrosion resistance.

Apart from the locking mechanism, much of what made the Squid’s design so good remains intact.

Both knives are also offered with either G10 or Micarta handle scales. Like the steels, these materials are relatively comparable, so your pick will likely come down to personal preference.

They also both retain the legendary IKBS ball-bearing pivot system, ensuring that — regardless of which variant you choose — they’ll open quickly and reliably every time you use them.

Did Omega Just Quietly Debut the Ultimate Speedmaster?

The Omega Speedmaster‘s status as an iconic watch is unquestioned. Holding the distinction of being the first watch worn on the moon tends to have that effect.

Omega certainly knows this, too, which is why the brand offers countless versions of the Moonwatch today in a variety of materials and colors. Still, most people, when it comes down to it, tend to prefer the classic Speedy: a black-on-black dial with a stainless steel asymmetric case and bracelet.

For those who want that iconic Moonwatch look but a feel that’s quite a bit more special, Omega has quietly just debuted the watch for you.

Known by the reference number 311.90.42.30.99.002, Omega’s latest Speedy is perhaps the ultimate expression of the Moonwatch — and one of the best examples of the “quiet luxury” trend I’ve ever seen in a watch.

Omega’s latest Speedy is, for lack of a better phrase, out of this world.

Nothing But the Best

At a quick glance, this new Speedy looks like your standard Moonwatch. It has the classic asymmetric case and a three-link bracelet, both made of silver-colored metal, a black tachymeter bezel and a black-on-black dial. But it doesn’t take too much investigation to see that this is far more special than the entry-level Speedy.

Let’s start with the dial. The deep black color is the result of onyx, which Omega uses in two layers here to create the classic stepped dial. Next, we have meteorite subdials. This material is probably overused in the industry at this point, but I’ve always felt it belongs on a Speedy, the definitive space watch, more than any other watch. What’s more, the meteorite used here is from a lunar meteorite, directly tying this Moonwatch to the moon.

I’ve Never Seen This Feature in a Watch Anywhere Near This Affordable Before

The watch’s titanium case should mitigate some wearability issues caused by the 16mm thickness.
Sea-Gull

In another surprise, the water resistance is a solid 50m. I would’ve expected splash-resistance at best for a watch such as this, especially at this price. Finally, there is a generously domed and expansive sapphire crystal that looks very nice, along with a display caseback showcasing the movement.

Pricing and Availability

The Sea-Gull Rattrapante Split Second Chronograph Limited is, as its name suggests, a limited edition, with just 500 examples being produced by the brand and the first batch being limited to just 30 pieces.

The watch is priced at $3,649, which on the surface feels like a lot for a Sea-Gull. But remember, this is an actual, mechanical split-seconds chronograph. I’ve never seen one available for less than $10,000, never mind well below $5K.

This watch seems like a remarkable value, and it’s just the latest example of once-exclusive watch complications making their way to the masses. It’s one trend I would love to see continue well into the future.

Where to Buy TSA-Surrendered Knives for Pennies on the Dollar

The TSA doesn’t play around. Try to carry a pocket knife through airport security, it’s probably getting confiscated — just like the thousands of blades intercepted every year by the organization in charge of keeping our airways safe.

While you may already be aware of the government-run site GovDeals, where brand-name knives routinely go for pennies on the dollar, it’s not your only option for picking up a TSA-surrendered knife on the low. In fact, it might not even be the most affordable one.

As Reddit user guy1138 just discovered a few days ago, the TSA often unloads surrendered knives to state-run thrift, consignment and surplus stores. That means you could find some excellent deals in a secondhand shop nearby, especially if you reside near a major airport.

They’re not just throwaways, either. The knife that guy1138 stumbled upon was a Kershaw Launch 1, an automatic knife that usually retails for $180 to $225. Their price? A jaw-dropping $70.

From sea to shining sea

That Kershaw find isn’t an isolated or even exceptionally lucky incident either. Furthermore, it’s not limited to just one fortunate store location.

At State Surplus Stores in Texas, for instance, there are bulk bins where you can get pocket knives and multi-tools from Victorinox, Leatherman, Gerber, Case and many more for as little as $1 apiece. And that’s just Texas — there are stores with deals like this in states across the USA.

Dremel’s Genius New Drill Is the Most Compelling 12V Power Tool I’ve Seen in Years

The bottom of the handle guard also contains the drill’s second most significant feature – a detachable combination Class 2, <1 mW, 635nm laser, and bubble level. Dremel says the level comes with “reusable mounting putty” to stick the level to a wall. Still, it’s not clear from the product information if this putty is attached to the piece inside the drill or provided alongside the drill in a separate package. 

Another quirk about the integrated laser level is that it must be charged separately from the drill battery via USB-C. 

There are also a few other user-friendly details found on most other drills, including an on-device slot for bit storage, a lighted battery power indicator, and an LED spotlight to provide a clearer line of site for drilling. 

The Drill and Its Companion Blueprint Line Tease Dremel’s Future Ambitions

The Dremel Blueprint Multi-Drill shown drilling into a piece of wood into the floor.
Dremel’s status as a relative newcomer in the 12V cordless power tool market has clearly encourage the brand’s design team to think outside of the box and introduce products that are distinct from the rest of the market.
Dremel

Dremel isn’t a newcomer to the power tool market. The brand, named after its founder, Albert J. Dremel, was founded nearly a hundred years ago in 1932 in Racine, Wisconsin. It has long been synonymous with its line of electric rotary tools. The company was also bought by a titan in the power tool market, Bosch, back in 1993. 

This Bourbon Was the Talk of the Whiskey World in 2024. Now It’s Back

Based on this fact, some knowledgeable industry insiders have strung a few intriguing dots together. The speculation goes something like this. 

Early Times was a longstanding bourbon brand owned by Brown-Forman dating back to 1923. For a while, through the 30s, 40s, and 50s, it was the best-selling whiskey in the country. It also happens to be made from the same 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley recipe found in Old Forester 1924. 

In 2018, Brown-Forman also revived the King of Kentucky brand, which it had owned since 1940 as a unique vehicle for ultra-premium bourbon releases defined by the “barrel-strength, minimally-filtered proof presentation” shipped in bottles defined by “personal craftsmanship” that were “wax-dipped, and numbered by hand with details including proof, age, warehouse location, lot number, serial number, and barrel number, all selected by Master Distiller Chris Morris.” King of Kentucky uses the same mash bill, too. 

A bottle of 2024 King of Kentucky Bourbon with its retail packaging cylinder sitting to the bottle's left. Both objects are shown against a light grey background.
King of Kentucky is a relatively new ultra-premium bourbon brand also owned by Old Forester’s parent company Brown-Foreman. King of Kentucky bourbon also shares the same mash bill as Old Forester 1924. Given this connection, some have speculated that Old Forester 1924 is essentially bourbon originally distilled for the King of Kentucky brand that couldn’t quite meet the premium label’s exceptional quality standards .
Brown-Foreman

Reading between the lines, one could view the King of Kentucky project as a vehicle for Brown-Forman’s distilling team to highlight and showcase exceptional barrels buried among the company’s more extensive Early Times bourbon stock. 

But what does this have to do with Old Forester 1924 again?

Rolex Watches Just Got More Expensive. Here’s Why Now May Be the Time to Buy

But the most insane Rolex price increases can be found on solid gold Daytonas. These models have seen a staggering price hike of 18.5 – 18.6 percent, with the yellow gold version on an Oysterflex bracelet clocking in as the cheapest gold Daytona with a new SRP of $36,400.

Some of this is out of Rolex’s control. It’s no coincidence that gold watches have seen the most massive price increases, as their prices are tied to the cost of the material. The price of gold rose a staggering 26 percent in 2024, and the precious metal’s value is predicted to continue climbing in 2025.

So even when taking the crazy price increases of the Daytona into consideration, it could have been even more damaging to your wallet considering the rocket ride that gold’s value is currently experiencing.

Gold Daytona chronographs have seen the steepest price increases among Rolexes this year by far.
Rolex

Is Now a Good Time to Buy a Rolex?

Rolex’s prices on the secondary market have been falling for a while now, though they still remain elevated well above retail in most cases. But now that retail prices have increased, those secondary prices — at least on current models — are also likely to see a jump, especially among the more drastically affected gold models.

However, such a correction won’t occur immediately, as it will take some time for the secondary market to adjust to the new pricing information.

Other Notable iPhone, Apple Watch and Mac Accessories from 2024

Raspberry Pi 500 keyboardRaspberry Pi

Raspberry Pi 500

The Raspberry Pi 500 is the next-generation version of the Raspberry Pi 400. Like its predecessor, it’s a keyboard with a Raspberry Pi computer built into it — plug it into a monitor, pair it with a mouse, and you’re ready to go. But the Raspberry Pi 500 features the same computing power as the company’s new flagship Raspberry Pi 5, but adds a keyboard and numerous ports for connecting peripherals and displays. It costs $90, but Raspberry Pi sells a desktop kit (with a mouse, a USB-C power supply and an HDMI cable) for $120.

LG UltraGear OLED Gaming Monitor With 480Hz Refresh RateLG

LG UltraGear GX7

The LG UltraGear GX7 is the company’s first OLED gaming monitor with a blazing-fast 480Hz refresh rate. It has a .03-millisecond response time, as well. The 27-inch monitor has a QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution and is DisplayHDR True Black 400 certified. At $1,000, it’s slightly more affordable than its closest rival, Sony’s $1,100 InZone M10S monitor.

Serene Industries The Icebreaker Keyboard

Not only is this keyboard’s chassis machined from a solid piece of CNC-machined aluminum, but so are its keycaps. Yet, even with full-metal keycaps, they’re still capable of allowing LED light to shine through, courtesy of the nearly 800 micro-perforations that make up the legends.

Anker MagGo Power Bank (5K, Slim)Anker

Anker MagGo Power Bank (5K, Slim)

The Anker MagGo Power Bank is the company’s thinnest portable battery compatible with MagSafe (and Qi) to date — it’s 0.34 inches thick. It magnetically slicks to the back of your iPhone, resting flush against it, and wirelessly charges it at its fastest possible speed (up to 15 watts). With a 5,000mAh capacity, it should have enough juice to charge your iPhone twice over (depending on the model, of course). It’s available in two finishes: white or blue.

Yanko Design OrigamiSwift MouseYanko Design

Yanko Design OrigamiSwift Mouse

The OrigamiSwift is a portable Bluetooth mouse with an innovative design that, according to Yanko Design, is inspired by origami. It has a triangular structure that allows it to fold into an ergonomic-shaped mouse and then completely flat, the latter of which so you can easily slip it into a bag or laptop sleeve. The mouse weighs just 40 grams, charges via USB-C and is compatible with both Mac and PC.

8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard - Xbox Edition8BitDo

8BitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard (Xbox Edition)

8BitDo’s mechanical keyboard and mouse combo is inspired by one of the coolest gaming consoles ever — the translucent green Xbox (first released in 2003). In addition to the see-through green shell, the Xbox edition keyboard’s directional keys are the same colors as the original controller’s X, Y, B and A buttons. It features RGB lighting, customizable buttons and an Xbox button that activates the Windows Game Bar.

DJI Mic Mini 2DJI

DJI Mic Mini

The DJI Mic Mini is a smaller, more affordable version of the company’s extremely popular Mic 2 wireless microphone system. For $89, you can get one receiver and one transmitter (with a built-in mic). For $169, you get an extra and a charging case for everything. Compared to the Mic 2, the Mic Mini’s transmitters are roughly half the size — where it gets its “Mini” name — and have improved battery life. The main tradeoff is unlike the Mic 2, the Mic Mini can’t record backup audio.

Mophie 3-in-1 Travel ChargerMophie

Mophie 3-in-1 Travel Charger with MagSafe

Mophie’s 3-in-1 travel charger has a compact foldable design and supports fast charging to both new iPhones (it’s certified for both MagSafe and Qi2) and Apple Watch models (Series 7 or later). Additionally, it has a wireless charging pad for AirPods neatly tucked behind the iPhone charger. It comes with a 40-watt USB-C adapter, a charging cable, several international plug configurations and a travel case to keep everything together.

Belkin Vision Pro CaseBelkin

Belkin Travel Bag for Apple Vision Pro

The Vision Pro was released almost a year ago and, up until now, Apple only sold its own travel case for the headset — which cost $200 and looks like a travel pillow designed by NASA. Now, Apple is finally selling a more affordable option. It’s made by Belkin, the popular gadget accessory maker, and it’s significantly smaller and half the price of Apple’s option. It also has outside pockets and looks like a normal bag.

Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 16 ProMophie

Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 16

Mophie’s popular Juice Pack battery cases fit Apple’s lineup of iPhone 16s — every model except for the iPhone 16 Plus. Each case has a 3,600 mAh battery and features an integrated magnet, so it’s still compatible with MagSafe and Qi2 accessories such as car mounts, wallets and stands (but not chargers). The case has a USB-C port and supports the company’s pass-through charging technology, so it’ll first recharge your iPhone and then recharge the case.

Satechi Trio wireless charging padSatechi

Satechi Qi2 Trio Wireless Charging Pad

Satechi updated its travel-friendly 3-in-1 wireless charging pad to support Qi2 and faster charging. The new “Trio” still has a collapsible design that folds flat, making it easy to slip into a bag, and is made of premium materials (aluminum, vegan leather and soft silicone). But the iPhone charging pad/stand now supports up to 15-watt wireless charging. The Apple Watch puck supports up to 5-watt charging and has a new articulated arm for better positioning. These design updates and faster charging make the new Trio $10 more expensive than its predecessor.

Plugable 10-port USB-C chargerPlugable

Plugable 10-Port USB-C Charger (PS-10CC)

The Plugable PS-10CC is what the company is calling the “world’s 10-port USB-C charger.” That’s right, it can simultaneously charge up to 10 devices. It outputs 100 watts of power, which it can evenly distribute evenly among the ten ports or deliver all to a single port. And since all ten USB-C ports are the same, it eliminates the headache of figuring out which port to plug which device in. It’s a Kickstarter campaign with an expected release date in January 2025. The early bird special will shed you $40 off the $99 MSRP.

Twelve South HiRise 2 Deluxe charging standTwelve South

Twelve South HiRise 2 Deluxe

The HiRise 2 Deluxe is a 2-in-1 version of Twelve South’s 3-in-1 HiRise 3 Deluxe. It’s a MagSafe (and Qi2) wireless charging stand that’s made of premium materials, including a vegan leather cover for the main pad. The base doubles as a 5-watt wireless charging base for your AirPods. It does lack the HiRise 3 Deluxe’s Apple Watch charging puck, but it’s also $70 cheaper.

Plugable dockPlugable

Plugable Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station (TBT-6950PD)

Plugable’s latest Thunderbolt docking station, the TBT-6950PD, is designed for power users with multi-monitor workstations. Thanks to two HDMI and two Thunderbolt ports, it can support up to four 4K (60Hz) external displays — four on most PCs and three on Macs with Apple Silicon. Additionally, it supports 96-watt pass-through charging and has ports for Gigabit Ethernet, an SD card reader and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Bitmo Lab

Bitmo Lab Gamebaby

Apple’s decision to allow emulator apps earlier this year immediately made the iPhone an excellent option for replaying Gameboy games, granted you were ok interacting with a touchscreen or were dedicated enough to keep a Bluetooth controller close at hand. Bitmo Lab’s Gamebaby offers a different solution. It’s an iPhone case with a removable bottom panel that can be flipped and slid on the bottom front half of the iPhone. Once it’s in the correct position, the d-pad and physical buttons apply force to the right spots on the iPhone’s touch screen while running the Delta emulator app, providing the feel of a physical controller without requiring any Bluetooth pairing or battery drain.

Twelve South

Twelve South PlugBug with Find My

This is the world’s first charger with built-in support for Apple’s Find My technology, which means users can geolocate it on another Apple device if it’s misplaced or lost. Combined with an ultra-slim form factor perfect for packing and squeezing into tight spaces, it looks like a winner for frequent travelers dedicated to Apple’s ecosystem. A 50W version with two USB-C ports is a smaller, more affordable option for charging phones and tablets. The 120W four-port version can charge more gadgets at once or provide up to 120W to a single device for fast charging power-hungry items like an Apple MacBook Pro. A PlugBug Travel edition of both sizes is slightly more expensive, and ships switchable adapter plugs for the US, UK, EU, AU, KR, and CN, as well as a travel case.

EcoFlow RAPID Magnetic Power Banks

One of the biggest brands in whole home and emergency backup batteries is launching its first portable battery bank series for smartphones. The upcoming RAPID Magnetic Power Bank collection offers quite a lot for a typically dull product category. They’re Qi2-certified for fast 15W wireless charging with modern Android and iPhones. Thanks to 30W/65W input, the power banks can charge from 0% to 70% in under 33 minutes. They also feature a built-in USB-C cable for plugging devices in for faster top-off sessions and a built-in kickstand for watching content or using your device in nightstand mode. An integrated TFT display tops it all off, providing practical info, including battery capacity, time to recharge stats, and information on power input/output. Owners can even have the display show their name or a DIY graphic using the companion Ecoflow app. Pricing isn’t available yet, but the 5,000 and 10,000 maH models will be available for purchase by November 1st.will be available in two capacities of 5000/10000mAh.

Nomad Stand One Max (2024)Nomad

Nomad Stand One Max (3rd-Gen)

Nomad released an improved version of its popular 3-in-1 charging station for iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch. The third-generation Stand One Max now lets you charge all your devices while your iPhone is horizontally oriented for StandBy mode (previously, the Apple Watch charger got in the way). Additionally, it now supports Qi2 wireless charging, which has all the advantages of MagSafe but lets Nomad drop the price — it’s $30 cheaper than before.

Plugable USB-C docking stationPlugable

Plugable USB-C Laptop Docking Station (UD-6950PDH)

Plugable redesigned its 14-in-1 docking station with a space gray aluminum body to better match Apple’s space gray Macs. Like its predecessor, it’s unique because it supports dual 4K (at 60Hz) displays — via DisplayPort or HDMI — with any Apple-silicone Mac. It also has an updated audio jack, a front-facing USB-C port and a dedicated power button for turning on/off.

Anker

Anker Prime Charging Station (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime)

Anker’s latest desktop charging station is the most power-user power station we’ve ever seen. The standout feature is a dedicated control knob for dictating how the charger’s 250W flows to charger’s four USB-C and two USB-A ports. While a default AI Power Mode will work to optimize charging speeds based on the number of devices connected, a port priority mode also allows users to choose two ports to maintain full power output regardless of other connections. Similarly, Laptop Mode will ensure that two laptops are connected via USB-C and will keep charging priority. Finally, a low current mode is available for slowly topping off connected devices while preserving battery longevity. The device’s integrated screen displays charging information for each port and can also function as a small desktop clock when a screensaver mode kicks on.

UAG

UAG SRGE 3-in-1 Travel / Desktop Charger

Multi-device wireless chargers for iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watch are everywhere now. This solution stands out for two reasons. The wireless phone charging dock can elevate for easier nightstand viewing. The entire kit can also fold down into an iPhone-sized package for travel. It also comes with a 25W power brick, three different international power plug adaptors, a USB-C charging cable, and a carry pouch.

Insta360 Flow Pro

Whether you’re a burgeoning influencer grinding out content or a parent sick of being a mobile tripod for FaceTime calls with grandparents, the Insta360 could be a lifesaver. Like any good gimbal, it can help video footage look smooth while moving. But it’s also the first gimbal equipped with DockKit, Apple’s proprietary subject-tracking technology. Just tap an iPhone to pair if via NFC, pop the iPhone into the gimbal, and the motorized gimbal can rotate 360 degrees and intelligently zoom in and out to keep subjects in frame. Insta360 says the device will work with the iPhone’s native camera, Facetime app, and third-party apps.

Logitech Keys-To-Go 2 Portable Bluetooth Keyboard

Logitech has revamped its portable keyboard, which is designed primarily for tablets and cell phones. The most significant changes include an integrated cover that protects the keys while traveling, helps raise the keyboard slightly off a flat service when used, and a wedge case design with 1 mm travel scissor keys. The keyboard is also more than an inch narrower from the front to the back edge, making it easier to hold and store in a bag. But it’s also slightly heavier than the previous generation by slightly more than an ounce. It can pair with up to three devices and switch between them via the Easy-Switch keys. Two layouts are available: a universal version for Android, ChromeOS, Windows, iPadOS, iOS, and MacOS, and a dedicated Apple layout for iPadOS, iOS, and macOS. Lilac, Pale Grey and Graphite are the three available colors to choose from.

WaterField Design

WaterField Designs Backpack for Apple Vision Pro

Early adopters of the Apple Vision Pro now have a new option for taking the headset on the road. WaterField Designs purpose-built Backpack for Apple Vision Pro features a separate bottom compartment with a padded hammock for the headset. Waterfield also includes the brand’s Hatbox accessory bag for the Vision Pro which also fits precisely in the compartment to prevent jostling. Naturally, slots for more traditional tech like laptop and tablets are also included. The first batch of bags ships June 11th.

Sharge Pouch Battery Bank

It’s hard to get excited about a power bank, but the Sharge Pouch offers a novel design approach we’ve never seen before. You can use the charging brick to recharge the battery – or another gadget separately without drawing battery power. Cleverly, the charging brick and cable attach magnetically to the 10,000mAh battery pack, ensuring users always have what they need to charge gadgets or recharge the pack. Our only gripe is that we wish the colors weren’t so bold. And while a max PD charging speed of 40W is solid, it’s not powerful enough to charge power-hungry laptops.

Logitech

Logitech Wave Keys Ergonomic Keyboard for Mac

It’s been a minute since Logitech has made a dedicated ergonomic keyboard for Macs. This new option features an integrated cushioned palm rest with memory foam and the ability to connect up to three devices simultaneously, including those running other operating systems not from Apple. Power is supplied by two triple-A batteries that should last for up to 36 months of use. Downloading the Logi Options+ App on macOS also allows for various customizations for quick access to software.

Other Notable Amps, Receivers and other Hi-Fi Component Releases in 2024

FiiO BTR 17 headphone ampFiiO

FiiO BTR 17

The FiiO BTR 17 is a super versatile and fairly affordable portable DAC and headphone amplifier for your smartphone, laptop or desktop. It packs Qualcomm’s new flagship Bluetooth chip (QCC5181) that supports the latest high-resolution Bluetooth codecs, including LDAC and aptX Adaptive. It has dual ES9069Q DACs and, when working as a wired DAC/amp, supports audio up to 32-bit/768kHz. And it has a built-in battery that can last up to 8 hours (when in Bluetooth or Phone modes). It’s available in blue or black finishes.

Astell&Kern SP3000MAstell&Kern

Astell&Kern SP3000M

The Astell&Kern SP3000M is a smaller, lighter and more affordable version of the SP3000 ($3,699), the company’s flagship portable hi-fi player. It features the same processors, DACs and circuitry design, and plays the same high-resolution audio (up to 32-bit/768kHz). The difference, aside from being smaller, is the SP3000M has an aluminum body (instead of stainless steel) and has two headphone jacks (instead of three).

NAD M10 V3 streaming amplifierNAD

NAD M10 V3 Streaming Amplifier

The third generation of NAD’s flagship M10 streaming amplifier shares the same gorgeous design, high-end streaming abilities and price as its “V2” predecessor. However, the new model features an upgraded DAC and supports Dirac Live room correction technology. Significantly, it adds a dedicated phono input (MM), making integrating a turntable easier. 

Schiit Audio Saga 2 PreamplifierSchiit Audio

Schiit Audio Saga 2

Schiit Audio’s Saga 2 is a fully discrete Class A, zero-feedback differential preamplifier. Designed as a more affordable and more versatile alternative to the company’s $399 Saga+ preamplifier (now discontinued), the Saga 2 can work in passive or active (with gain controls) modes and has a headphone output. It’s best paired with the company’s Gjallarhorn, Aegir 2 and Vidar 2 amplifiers. 

NAD Electronics

NAD C 700 V2 BluOS Streaming Amplifier

The NAD C 700 V2 is a streaming amplifier with a high-definition display. It can add streaming capabilities—both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth—to the current hi-fi system and drive your passive bookshelf speakers. It’s the latest do-it-all “just add speakers” hi-fi component.

InkPhone Duo: A Quirky Concept Handset With Dual Displays

These days, flagship smartphones don’t really offer much when it comes to unique features. Except for foldable models, most premium handsets just take the same candy bar form factor slap on the latest silicon, boost RAM, and increase internal storage. It somehow makes us miss the glory days of Nokia and its rivals, but a concept called the InkPhone Duo is fascinating.

At a glance, it looks like your average entry-level or mid-range smartphone. It touts rounded corners and sizeable bezels. It’s also slightly thicker than whatever is on the market right now. However, the YouTube channel @kiijii3313 (Kii Jii) shares a video that details what this device does differently.

To be honest, once you get past the minimalist presentation and aesthetics, the InkPhone Duo seems like another niche product. The designer combines two modern display technologies: OLED and E-Ink. With the help of a sliding mechanism, both are mounted back-to-back.

There are no specifications to talk about, but the idea is simple enough to grasp. Users can dynamically switch between the two panels. Since there is nothing to indicate if it requires a button press to transition from one screen to the other, the smartphone could rely on sensors to trigger the shift.

We’re assuming it runs on a proprietary operating system or maybe just a custom version of Android. To take photos, you need to slide the InkPhone Duo sideways. This action exposes the front-facing selfie camera and the dual primary cameras with an LED flash module. Perhaps the folks behind this need to refine the concept some more.

Spotlighted Turntables and CD Player Releases in 2024

Other NotableTurntables and CD Player Releases in 2024

Musical Fidelity M6xTT turntableMusical Fidelity

Musical Fidelity M6xTT

The Musical Fidelity M6xTT is an audiophile-grade turntable that’s essentially a smaller, lighter and more affordable version of the $10,000 M8xTT, which the British hi-fi maker released in 2022. The M6xTT has the same standout transparent design — featuring a dual-layer acrylic plinth that gives the illusion the platter is floating midair — and a redesigned 9-inch tonearm (which is the same as the M8xTT’s tonearm, but an inch shorter). It’s handmade in Europe and isn’t yet available in the US at the time of writing.

Kickback Deko turntableKickback

Kickback Deko

Kickback — a NY-based tech company known for its affordable audio products with early 2000s flair — has released an entry-level turntable that looks a real statement piece. Its transparent plexiglass and aluminum design stays true to the company’s ethos, but it also promises to be a pretty versatile turntable. It has a switchable built-in phono-preamp, allowing you to hook it up directly to a power speaker system or integrate it into a larger hi-fi system. It also supports Bluetooth, so you can stream vinyl directly to a Bluetooth speaker.

Victrola Automatic turntableVictrola

Victrola Automatic

The Victrola Automatic is an affordable, fully automatic turntable with a switchable phono preamp and built-in Bluetooth. Most interestingly, it has a unique repeat function that keeps the record playing on a loop so the music doesn’t stop.

Welcome to the Year in Review, where we’re rewinding the clock on an entire year’s worth of coverage to highlight the notable and under-the-radar product releases that crossed our desk in 2024.

Here’s a look back at the new road, gravel, mountain and e-bikes we discovered in 2024, along with a variety of innovative biking accessories that could upgrade your biking experience in 2025 and beyond.

Spotlighted Cycling and Biking Releases

Other Notable Cycling and Biking Releases

smith bobcat lisa congdon sunglassesSmith Optics

Smith x Lisa Congdon Bobcat Performance Sunglass

We were already huge fans of the Bobcats, which combine clarity-enhancing Chromapop lens tech with goggle-like coverage and a barely-there feel that makes them perfect for biking and running. Now Smith has teamed up with renowned Portland, Oregon-based artist Lisa Congdon to give them a fresh new look that is sure to turn heads from the road to the trails.

2025 scott addict rc ultimate bikeScott Sports SA

New Release

2025 Scott Addict RC Ultimate Bike

Just a couple days before many of us will be packing on pounds, Scott is dropping them. Its latest Addict RC series consists of five bikes starting at $4,999 and promising bonkers weight savings. The top of the line is the world-class Ultimate Bike, boasting a hollow carbon frame kit that’s 300g lighter than its predecessor. Tipping the scales at a feathery 640g (~1.4 pounds), it forms the base of a complete bike weighing just 5.9kg (~13 pounds). In other words, if you aren’t positively flying over tarmac, it’s not the bike, it’s the turkey in the saddle.

velocio alpha zero jacketVelocio

Velocio Alpha Zero Jacket

“It’s dark. It’s cold. It’s time to ride.” So begins the promo copy for Velocio’s newest jacket, designed to help you answer that crispy call to action, even when it’s below freezing out. With a 20k/20k waterproof breathable Polartec outer shell and bodymapped Polartec insulation, it’s the brand’s warmest jacket yet. True to its cycling nature, the PFAS-free garment also offers a trio of rear pockets, perfect for stashing much-deserved snacks.

Smith Seeker sunglassesSmith

Smith Seeker

Meet Smith’s modern take on the explorer silhouette. The Seeker sunglasses pair a round-lens design with a lightweight frame. They have ChromaPop lenses, the company’s signature technology that enhances color and clarity. And their auto-lock hinges allow you to easily clip them to your shirt (or neck) when taken off. According to Smith, they’re primed for running, hiking, biking and alpine adventures.

Ducati

Ducati Futa All Road Gravel E-Bike

Ducati is building on its e-bike lineup by introducing an All Road version to the Futa line. Thanks to a carbon monocoque frame, it’s relatively light given the gravel bike also includes a SRAM electronic shifting system, SRAM hydraulic brakes, Carbon Vision wheels, Vittoria Terreno Dry tires, a 250Wh battery and an FSA System HM 1.0 motor. Riders can select between five levels of assistance and extend the bike’s range further if needed via an additional power pack. An iOS and Android app also allows riders to track stats, range, and charge levels. Ducati also includes three Skuad bikepacking bags with every purchase that are fully waterproof. The bike is available in four sizes and will officially go on sale via Ducati’s website or at Ducati dealerships later this month. The price quoted below is roughly coverted from pound sterling.

velocio riding packVelocio

Velocio Riding Pack

Having delivered sterling cycling apparel for more than a decade now, New Hampshire-based Velocio makes its first foray into bags with two items, a 40L duffel and this purpose-built pack. Highlights include a rolltop that expands capacity from 25L to 35L, external MOLLE webbing for attaching a helmet and other gear, ride-oriented ergonomics, a dedicated laptop sleeve and deep side pockets that can fit up to a 26-ounce bottle.

Liv Avail Advanced E+ Elite 0Liv Cycling

Liv Avail Advanced E+ Elite 0

In its continued mission to get more women on bikes, Liv Cycling takes another huge step with the launch of the Avail Advanced E+ Elite series, led by the top-of-the-line Elite 0 model shown here. Within its sleek form resides a compact SyncDriveMove Plus Hub drive motor fueled by a 400Wh main battery and delivering up to 28 mph of assistance. Combined with discreet controls, a lightweight carbon frame and fork, endurance geometry and internal cable routing, it offers a streamlined synthesis of powered and traditional road cycling, so you can ride longer and stronger than ever before.

Ventete

Ventete aH-1 Helmet and Pump

An inflatable helmet concept usually garners some buzz in cycling circles at least once a year. Swiss-based brand Ventete’s take stands out since it’s a viable, albeit expensive, and limited consumer product. The innovative aH-1 Helmet features triple-laminated, high-tenacity nylon with glass fiber-reinforced protective ribs. RHEON, which falls into the strange yet fascinating category of non-Newtonian substances, provides additional impact padding. Thanks to an integrated Presta valve, including a USB-C rechargeable Fumpa mini pump and an on-helmet pressure indicator, inflating and deflating the helmet takes less than 30 seconds. The result is a protective helmet that can shrink by 90% to a form factor smaller and thinner than most laptops.

canyon spectral on fly electric mountain bikeCanyon

Canyon Spectral:ONfly

With lighter-weight e-mountain bikes being so en vogue these days, it was only a matter of time till Canyon rolled out a banger. Emerging from a carbon-fiber frame weighing just over 5.8 pounds, with full-build weights starting at 39.9 pounds, the Spectral:ONfly promises to mimic the feel of a traditional MTB while doubling your pedaling power. The streamlined 300-watt motor and 360-watt-hour battery enable riders to climb nearly 3,300 feet on a single charge. Meanwhile, the mulletized wheelset, generous suspension travel (160mm front, 150mm rear) and stable yet nimble geometry ensure maximum flickability. The only bad news? While the bikes launch internationally today, the two US models — the $5,999 CF8 and $7,499 CF CLLCTV (shown) — won’t be available till the first week of October.

Garmin Fenix 8 SmartwatchGarmin

Garmin Fenix 8

Garmin’s latest flagship multi-sport smartwatch, the Fenix 8, shares a similar design but a few notable upgrades over its predecessor (the Fenix 7). It features a built-in speaker and microphone for the first time, so you can now use voice commands (to start timers) and answer calls from your wrist. You can choose an always-on solar charging display or an OLED display (the former has a much longer battery life). And it has more features for diving, such as leakproof buttons, a new sensor guard, and a dive rating of up to 40 meters.

santa cruz bronsonSanta Cruz

Santa Cruz Bronson

How do you make one of the best all-around mountain bikes even better? For the fifth generation of the Bronson, Santa Cruz focused on tweaking the suspension, shifting its VPP (virtual pivot point) lower and more forward to create a more relaxed, cushy feel that maximizes traction — and helps this puppy descend as smoothly as the action star with which it shares a name once dispatched his on-screen foes.

bmc urs 01 one gravel bikeBMC

BMC URS 01 ONE

The new URS 01 ONE leads the line for BMC’s updated family of adventure-ready “exploration” gravel bikes, which are about as close to mountain bikes as you can get while retaining drop bars. Highlights include a lightweight carbon frame, downtube storage, side-loading bottle holders, progressive geometry (long frame + short stem = stable yet responsive handling) and MicroTravel Technology (MTT) in the seatstay and stem for just enough suspension to tackle obstacles without sacrificing speed. This update also includes the rigid URS TWO ($4,499), the URS 01 LT ($6,499+) and an electric option, the URS AMP LT TWO ($9,999).

Clik Valve

Schwalbe Clik Valve

Presta, Schrader and Dunlop tire valves are standards in cycling and biking, yet all are far from perfect designs. The Clik Valve, unveiled at Eurobike 2024, could dismantle the status quo. As the story goes, inventor John Quintana developed the design after seeing his kids struggle with existing valves. Instead of a threaded attachment method, the Clik Valve and matching pump head snap together with little effort. The design also allows for 50% higher airflow than standard valves while resulting in zero pressure loss when pumping. And the head design is backwards compatible with typical Presta pumps. Most importantly, Schwalbe is selling Clik tubeless valves and conversion kits. Unfortunately, the initial stock is already sold out.

Canyon Tempr CFR Cycling Shoes

German direct-to-consumer bike maker Canyon’s first-ever cycling shoes include a three-bolt option for road cycling and a two-bolt option for gravel and Mountain biking. Canyon sees the new lineup as a premier offering, given it’s bestowed the shoes with its Canyon Factory Racing (CFR) label, which has previously only appeared on the company’s top-of-the-line carbon frames. The apparent goal was to build footwear that maximized comfort and power while eliminating hotspots producing foot slippage. Cyclists will also recognize many high-end components on these shoes made from other brands, including BOA aluminum closures, Solestar insoles, and Vibram Megagrip soles. The entire line is now available for purchase through Canyon’s site.

priority-bikes-duzer-cruzerPriority Bicycles

Priority Duzer Cruzer

Teaming up with Boulder, Colorado-based bike influencer Ryan Van Duzer — and inspired by his hometown’s long-running Thursday night social ride — Priority rolls out this limited-edition collab cruiser. Available in both step-through and diamond varieties, the Duzer Cruzer boasts custom colors, a lightweight aluminum frame, an internally geared 3-speed hub and that Priority staple — a rust-proof, grease-free Gates Carbon belt drive that lets you forget about chain maintenance and savor every spin.

Specialized

Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL8 LTD Red Bull – BORA – hansgrophe Edition

You can actually buy an exact replica of the bike team Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe will be using during this year’s Tour De France. True to Red Bull’s roots, the bike’s looks are inspired by the 90s skateboarding. Naturally, every high-end feature you could want is also onboard, including a full SRAM RED AXS groupset and a Roval Rapide CLX II Team wheelset. Only 500 in total will ever be made.

mongoose supergooseMongoose

Mongoose Supergoose

Mongoose celebrates its 50th anniversary by reviving some classics, including this iconic BMX bike launched in 1984. The modern edition boasts a 4130 chromoly loop-tail frame, retro-style aluminum rims, DiaCompe MX rear rim brake and period-correct handlebar and top-tube pads. You’re probably a bit big for the ’goose these days, but we’re betting your kid will be stoked to find it “under” the tree next month. It’s available in both the shown colorway and a blue/yellow option.

Welcome to the Year in Review, where we’re rewinding the clock on an entire year’s worth of coverage to highlight the notable and under-the-radar product releases that crossed our desk in 2024. 

Here’s a look back at the best new running and trail shoes we discovered last year, along with various other new running and fitness accessories that can help anyone looking to get or stay in shape in 2025.

Spotlighted Running and Fitness Releases in 2024

Other Notable Running and Fitness Releases in 2024

NordicTrack

NordicTrack X24 Treadmill

Treadmills aren’t just for running. NordicTrack’s updated X24 simulates some of the world’s most epic hikes with a 40 percent incline and retooled touchscreen that measures 24 inches for immersive, trainer-led treks through the Swiss Alps, Balkans or Grand Canyon. How’s that for a quick hill workout before your next meeting?

Satisfy Justice Cordura 5L Hydration Vest (Patchwork Blue)Satisfy Running

Satisfy Justice Cordura 5L Hydration Vest (Patchwork Blue)

The Paris-based boutique running brand brings a personal touch to this high-performance product via a handmade patchwork treatment that’s limited to just 25 pieces. Beyond the distinct look are a number of compelling features, such as eight pockets (highlighted by two chest slots for stashing included HydraPak 500ml soft flasks), a rear bungee cord system for carrying trekking poles, reflective details and an emergency whistle.

reebok nano x5Reebok

Reebok Nano X5

Reebok marks 15 years of the award-winning Nano training shoe with the announcement of the new Nano X5. Focusing on comfort without sacrificing performance, the latest edition introduces a midsole that is cushioned and responsive up front, yet firm and stable in the rear. It also offers a decoupled outsole that boosts its run-friendliness and a performance comfort collar for a fit that’s as locked in as you are.

ROA x Altra Timp 5 GTXAltra

Altra Timp 5 GTX Roa

This new collaboration between the Utah-based cult running brand and the Ferrara, Italy-based fashion-forward hiking brand delivers the best of both worlds. Altra’s wider foot-friendly toe box and trademark Zero Drop platform combine with Roa’s layered construction approach — plus a Gore-Tex membrane and Vibram Megagrip outsole — for a sublime trail ripper that’s equally at home on city streets.

Tracksmith

Tracksmith No Days Off Collection

As is tradition, Tracksmith braces for winter’s worst with its No Days Off Collection, a line of cold-weather running essentials ranging from tights to ear warmers. Its key garment is a full-length bib blending double-knit Merino wool and an innovative mesh for enhanced moisture management. Every purchase ships with a complimentary calendar poster to keep you accountable when the temperature drops.

Nike

Nike Grind Dumbbell

Nike continues to build its Strength line by introducing the new Grind dumbbell. The colorful speckled pattern comes from 20% Nike Grind rubber, a byproduct of Nike’s manufacturing process. Though the grey base color will stay constant, each batch of Nike Grind rubber is also unique, meaning that every wave of the dumbbells released will be limited editions in some ways. Versions are available in sizes ranging from 2.5 lbs to 50 lbs.

Smith Seeker sunglassesSmith

Smith Seeker

Meet Smith’s modern take on the explorer silhouette. The Seeker sunglasses pair a round-lens design with a lightweight frame. They have ChromaPop lenses, the company’s signature technology that enhances color and clarity. And their auto-lock hinges allow you to easily clip them to your shirt (or neck) when taken off. According to Smith, they’re primed for running, hiking, biking and alpine adventures.

Chirp

Chirp RPM Mini

Here’s a different approach to the recovery gadget category. The Chirp RPM Mini looks like a crossbreed between a traditional massage gun and a foam roller. Users can select between three different speed options and enjoy up to 4 hours of use between charges.

gorewear-concurve-gore-tex-le1-jacketGoreWear

GoreWear Concurve Gore-Tex LE1 Jacket

The new Tech Beige treatment of this lightweight, style-forward, run-specific jacket is made of 100% recycled nylon, has an adjustable hood with a magnetic buckle and boasts Gore-Tex’s ePE membrane, the new PFAS-free approach to waterproof-breathability. What we really dig though is what GoreWear calls “kinetic garment design”: fabric panels are cut and positioned based on the body in motion to reduce seams and weight and optimize for speed.

kane recovery shoeKane

Kane Revive AC

Kane winterized its popular recovery shoe with an enclosed upper, sewn-in thermal cuff and reflective detailing. At launch, it comes in three colorways and sizes up to men’s 14.

Apple

Apple Watch Series 10

The 10th generation of the Apple Watch finally brings notable hardware changes fans have been waiting for. It features the largest display ever on an Apple Watch, even bigger than the Ultra 2. The screen is now also a wide-angle OLED, making the watch easier to read at an angle and in bright light. It also features a faster refresh rate in low-power mode, allowing watch faces to show seconds ticking away. Size-wise, the series 10 is coincidentally 10% thinner than the previous Series 9 and 10% lighter. Apple has improved charging, too, so that the watch can go from 0 to 80% in 30 minutes. Lastly, the baseline aluminum and new titanium versions embrace a shiny, polished aesthetic in various colors, including black.

Hydrapak Tempo Pro Strap

Hydrapak’s slim Tempo water bottle is a cult favorite hydration solution for distance runners. The new Tempo Pro Strap makes the water bottle even more compelling as a handheld option. Its sandal-cut strap design leaves room for airflow and reduces irritation. The tension from the wrist strap also takes most of the gripping burden off your hands. The new accessory is currently sold in 3-packs, just like the compatible Tempo bottle.

Norda

Norda 002 Oak

Canadian running label Norda sprinted onto scene several years back with trail runners made from Dyneema — a super lightweight material that boasts 15 times the strength of the steel. Now available in a brown colorway, the 002 silhouette is for runners who prefer a more responsive ride that comes from the shoe’s low stack height.

Momentous

Momentous Elite Recovery Shakes

Supplement maker Momentous has made a new line of recovery shakes originally developed for NFL athletes available to consumers. The set includes three vanilla and three chocolate-flavored shake-and-go drinks. Each bottle contains pre-measured doses of whey, Creatine Monohydrate, FORTIGEL® Collagen, Magnesium Bisglycinate, and other recovery-centric ingredients designed to support muscle repair, reduce inflammation and soreness, and replenish glycogen stores.

Janji

Janji Rainrunner Pack Jacket 2.0

Boston-based running brand Janji updated its Rainrunner Pack Jacket for improved protection against rain, snow and whatever else winter decides to throw your way. The updated version features a laminated shell, fully taped seams, adjustable scuba hood, dropped-hem splatter guard and articulated cuffs that stay in place mid-stride. Like the rest of Janji’s gear, the Rainrunner Pack Jacket 2.0 is free of PFCs and PFAS — aka “forever chemicals.” The Mongolian-Manchurian steppe inspired a limited-edition seasonal colorway, Steppelands.

Garmin Fenix 8 SmartwatchGarmin

Garmin Fenix 8

Garmin’s latest flagship multi-sport smartwatch, the Fenix 8, shares a similar design but a few notable upgrades over its predecessor (the Fenix 7). It features a built-in speaker and microphone for the first time, so you can now use voice commands (to start timers) and answer calls from your wrist. You can choose an always-on solar charging display or an OLED display (the former has a much longer battery life). And it has more features for diving, such as leakproof buttons, a new sensor guard, and a dive rating of up to 40 meters.

District Vision x New Balance running shoeDistrict Vision

District Vision x New Balance Spring 2024 Collection

District Vision and New Balance have unveiled the latest iteration of their ongoing running inspired collaboration. It includes shorts, running singlets and pull overs, as well as the DV + NB Mens Elite Race Shoe shown above.

bandit resisto ii waterproof jacketBandit Running

Bandit Resisto II Waterproof Jacket

One of our favorite boutique running brands, Brooklyn-based Bandit, has significantly updated its popular lightweight jacket — it is now fully waterproof. Thanks to membrane-bonded fabric, taped seams, waterproof zippers and a DWR finish, precipitation will bead and roll off, keeping you dry and cozy on rainy runs. The Resisto II is available in both men’s and women’s cuts, with the same champagne colorway and price.

Nike shoeNike

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GTX

Like clockwork, fall means cooler temps and falling leaves. It also means that the Pegasus Trail, the off-road version of Nike’s versatile everyday trainer, gets winterized with the addition of a Gore-Tex upper. The shoe also features the brand’s responsive ReactX foam in the midsole and an all-terrain outsole.

The North Face

The North Face LIGHTRANGE Collection

The North Face launched a new line of athletic hoodies and T-shirts focused on sun protection. Every item sports the company’s new LIGHTRANGE finish, offering Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) capabilities as well as moisture-wicking and breathability. At least on paper, they sound like the new summer running shirt option to beat.

30 New Headphones You Might’ve Missed This Year

From Sonos’s first-ever headphones and Apple’s 4th gen Airpods to a wide array of Hi-Fi-centric releases, 2024 was packed with major headphone launches.

Welcome to the Year in Review, where we’re rewinding the clock on an entire year’s worth of coverage to highlight the notable and under-the-radar product releases that crossed our desk in 2024. 

Here’s a look back at new wireless ear buds, over-ear headphones, fitness headphones and more that launched this year. 

Spotlight Headphone Releases

Other Notable Headphone Releases

Meze Audio 105 AER headphonesMeze Audio

Meze Audio 105 AER

The Meze 105 AER are the Romanian hi-fi brand’s lightest and most affordable open-back headphones to date. They borrow trickle-down technologies from the company’s well-reviewed 109 Pro ($800) open-back headphones, but are exactly half as expensive. The 105 AER headphones have a familiar design and similar (yet “newly refined”) 50mm dynamic drivers to the 109 Pros, but have a mostly plastic design (instead of wood and metal) to keep the cost down.

Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO MKII headphonesBeyerdynamic

Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO MKII and DT 1990 Pro MKII

As part of its 100-history celebrations, the German hi-fi maker has released second-generation models of its popular DT 1770 Pro (closed-back) and DT 1990 Pro (open-back) studio headphones. The new “MKII” models both feature the company’s new Tesla.45 driver, which has a 30-ohm impedance — significantly lower than the 250 ohms of the previous models — making them much easier to drive and more versatile. They maintain the signature design and comfy velour or leatherette earpads of their predecessors.

Dali IO-8 noise-canceling headphonesDali

Dali IO-8

At $900, the IO-8 is not the Danish loudspeaker manufacturer’s most expensive noise-canceling headphones — that title still belongs to its $1,300 IO-12. But the new models promise similar hi-fi sound, premium build, and excellent noise cancellation… at a more attainable (but still expensive) price. The luxury headphones feature huge 50mm drivers and, thanks to support for aptX Adaptive, can play up to 24-bit/96kHz audio when paired with a compatible device.

Soundcore

Soundcore AeroFit 2

The Souncore AeroFit 2 are open-ear wireless earbuds designed for working out. They have ear hooks that grip around your ears and are IP55 water-resistant. Their open-ear design ensures that you can hear ambient sounds while exercising. At $100, these budget-friendly wireless earbuds also have some unexpected high-end features, such as a wireless charging case and LDAC support for higher-resolution listening.

Sony LinkBuds Open setting outside of their black charging case on a wooden deskSony

Sony LinkBuds Open

Sony’s 2022-released LinkBuds were unique among wireless earbuds thanks to their ring-hole open-ear design — and these LinkBuds Open are essentially the second-gen versions of those. They promise improved audio and a longer-lasting battery. Plus, they have an updated silicone earwing which should help them fit even more securely. At $199, they are roughly $20 more expensive.

Marshall Monitor III ANC headphonesMarshall

Marshall Monitor III ANC

Marshall’s third-generation flagship noise-canceling headphones, the Monitor III ANC, share a similar design to its predecessors but gain improved ANC and a few other features — the most notable of which is a drastically improved battery life. They promise 70 hours with ANC turned on and 100 hours turned off, making them one of the longest-lasting noise-canceling headphones available today.

Nothing Ear Open earbudsNothing

Nothing Ear Open

Instead of the stem-bud design of its Ear and Ear (a), Nothing’s latest wireless earbuds, the Ear Open, have a new open-ear design with ear hooks. This allows you to better hear the world around you while working out or commuting. The earbuds have directional speakers that promise minimal sound leakage (a common problem with open earbuds). And their charging case has a neat transparent lid. They cost $149. 

Bose

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds

Right on the heels of Apple’s AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation hitting the market, Bose has unveiled a new pair of active noise-canceling earbuds at the same $179 price point. They’re noise-sealing and come with three silicon tip options, giving them a fit that’s more like the AirPods Pro 2, which presumably means they’ll excel at blocking out external noise. They also offer some interesting new capabilities, including the ability to use the Earbuds as a remote shutter for a phone camera and a low-latency mode for gamers. They’re on sale now in white, black and purple color options.

AirPods 4 product imageApple

Apple AirPods 4

Released this past September, Apple’s new entry-level AirPods have the same open-air design (no silicone ear tips) and sound exactly like the AirPods 4 with active noise-cancellation — both have the same H2 chip and internal acoustic architecture. They share some of the same higher-end features, such as Personalized Volume and support for spatial audio, too. This is the first time they’ve been discounted.

Apple

Apple AirPods Pro Max (Updated)

Apple’s premium AirPods Pro Max didn’t get the overhaul many had hoped for. Instead, a USB-C charging port now replaces the aging lightning connector. The previous color options have also been replaced by five new colorways: starlight, orange, purple, blue and midnight. And that’s it. These changes are so minor that Apple’s not even calling this new iteration the AirPod Pro Max 2; they’re still just the AirPods Max. They’ll also still sell at the same premium price of $549 when shipping begins on September 20th.

Sony

Sony WF-C510

Sony’s newest budget-friendly wireless earbuds, the WF-C510, have several more premium features compared to their predecessors, the 2021-released WF-C500. The new models are smaller and pack better battery life. Most significantly, they cost just $60 — which is $30 cheaper. Available in white, yellow, blue or black finishes. 

Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones in diamond colorBose

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Diamond 60th Edition)

To celebrate the company’s 60th anniversary, Bose is releasing its flagship noise-canceling headphones in a new “diamond” finish. This is the fourth color the headphones are available in, joining black, smoke white and sandstone. It costs $429, just like before. (Note: Bose is releasing its flagship wireless earbuds and open-ear earbuds, the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds and Ultra Open Earbuds, in the same diamond finish.)

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 gen 3 gaming headsetTurtle Beach

Turtle Beach Stealth 700 (Gen 3)

Turtle Beach’s third-generation Stealth 700 gaming headset is designed to work across PC and console platforms. Its most exciting feature is that it ships with two USB transmitters, which you can plug into your console and PC and switch between the two via a button on the headset’s ear cup. It also has built-in Bluetooth for connecting to your smartphone or Nintendo Switch.

nwm one open-back headphonesnwm

nwm One

The Japanese audio maker, nwm, has finally brought its unique open-back headphones stateside. The One look like no other headphones — the earcups have no back at all leaving your ears basically completely exposed — and their secret sauce is the company’s PSZ (Personalized Sound Zone) technology that minimizes sound from leaking. Unlike most open-back headphones, the One can work as wired (via USB-C) or wireless Bluetooth headphones.

This $13 T-Shirt Could Change America Forever

This seemingly generic garment was born from a partnership between American Giant and Walmart. The retail giant was searching for ways to begin deploying the $350 billion investment it had publicly committed to US manufacturing in early 2021.

The company connected with American Giant to discuss the possibility of creating an exclusive made-in-America t-shirt it could sell in more than 4,600 US retail locations.

Applying Walmart’s Scale to a Fledging Supply Chain

The key unlock was Walmart’s scale and willingness to make the financial commitments necessary to bolster American Giant’s fledgling supply chain.
Walmart

The hurdle, as has always been the case with made-in-America garments, was price. The challenge was making a t-shirt that, while pricier than others on the shelves at Walmart, still needed to cost dramatically less than any other made-in-America t-shirt.

The key unlock was Walmart’s scale and willingness to make the financial commitments necessary to bolster American Giant’s fledgling supply chain. The prospect of making t-shirts at the volume of Walmart’s needs incentivized all parties involved to invest in efficiency improvements, which helped drive costs down. American Giant also implemented less labor-intensive sewing methods and swapped in less expensive yarn to lower costs further.

The result is a t-shirt made in America from 100 percent American-grown cotton that costs $12.98

Welcome to the Year in Review, where we’re rewinding the clock on an entire year’s worth of coverage to highlight the notable and under-the-radar product releases that crossed our desk in 2024. 

Here’s a look back at the bourbons, single malts, ryes, Japanese whiskies, and all manner of unique whiskey blends that launched this year.

Other Notable Whiskey Releases

2024 Van Winkle Whiskey Collection

Once again, it’s time for the world’s most coveted bourbon collection to hit store shelves — if only for a brief period. The 2024 Van Winkle Whiskey Collection has been announced, meaning you’ll once again be able to test your luck at winning a lottery that allows you to pick up a bottle at SRP. As always, the six bottles in the collection are the Old Rip Van Winkle Handmade Bourbon 10-Year-Old, Old Rip Van Winkle Special Reserve Bourbon 12-Year-Old, Old Rip Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye 13-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 15-Year-Old, Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 20-Year-Old and Pappy Van Winkle’s Family Reserve Bourbon 23-Year-Old. Some good news this year, though, is that the two most prized bottles — the 20- and 23-Year-Old Pappys — are more plentiful than in past years thanks to some generous barrels, meaning you might actually be able to snag one. Retail prices, which are largely symbolic when it comes to Pappy, range from $130 for the 10-year to $450 for the 23-year.

Johnnie Walker

Johnnie Walker Aged 52 Years Blended Scotch Whisky

This extremely limited-edition blended scotch marks the very first ultra-rare release under the watch of Master Blender Emma Walker. Made from some of the brand’s oldest and most precious casks of Highland Single Malt and Lowland Single Grain Whiskies, its a rarified spirit that’s sure to find fans — at least those who can afford it — champing at the bit to try it.

Buffalo Trace Antique Collection 2024

Buffalo Trace’s most anticipated whiskeys of the year have arrived. The 2024 installment of the vaunted Buffalo Trace Antique Collection is here, and just as in years past, it’s sure to be a highly coveted release. As usual, the five bottles comprising the BTAC are as follows: Eagle Rare 17-Year-Old Bourbon, George T. Stagg Bourbon, Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey, Sazerac 18-Year-Old Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and William Larue Weller Bourbon. This year, Buffalo Trace is touting the Weller as the standout bottle in the collection — something reviewers often do anyway — and it just so happens to coincide with the 25th anniversary of its parent company Sazerac’s acquisition of the Weller brand. Each bottle in the 2024 BTAC is sold separately and retails for $150 — but good luck finding any at that price. Due to sky-high demand and short supply, the street price will undoubtedly be many times the retail price.

Hibiki 40 Years Old

The House of Suntory, the name in Japanese whisky, has just unveiled its oldest release ever. Hibiki 40 Years Old is a blend of whiskies from all three of Suntory’s distilleries: Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita. The liquid, crafted by three generations of master blenders, is made up of five different whiskies from seven different years: Yamazaki white oak casks from 1978 and 1983, Hakush lightly peated whisky distilled in 1981, Chita grain whisky from 1979 and 1981, and Yamazaki Spanish oak and Mizunara oak casks from 1980 and 1983, respectively. The exceptional blend is limited to just 400 bottles and is priced at an eye-popping $35,000 each.

tincup fourteener bourbonTINCUP Whiskey

TINCUP Fourteener Bourbon

The outdoor-oriented Colorado-based whiskey brand announces the third edition of the spirit that honors the highest peaks in the Highest State, with a portion of the proceeds donated to mountain stewardship. This year’s round spotlights 14,147-foot Mt. Sneffels, named after the Icelandic volcano Snæfell thanks to a crater-like area on the western flank. Aged 14 years (duh) in white American oak barrels, the bourbon has notes of vanilla, sugar cookie, caramel and syrup, with a medium-long butterscotch finish. The bottle is available for pre-order and rolling out to select retailers nationwide this month.

Redbreast

Redbreast 18 Year Old

The first new addition to the renowned Irish Whiskey distiller’s permanent lineup in over four years sounds like a fascinating flavor bomb that might cheaply be described as Nutella in a glass. True to Redbreast’s signatures, its a blend of pot still whiskey aged in ex-bourbon barrels and oloroso sherry butts while adding in whiskey aged in ruby port casks, which has previously been used in Redbreast 27. In Redbreast’s words, the result is a mature whiskey that “bridges the gap between our older and younger offerings” while offering a flavor profile “of dark chocolate, blackcurrants, and hazelnuts.” It’s now available nationwide for an MSRP of $250.

Widow Jane

Widow Jane The Vaults 2024: Amburana Wood Cask Finish

Brooklyn-based Widow Jane started The Vaults series back in 2019 as a way of showcasing how various wood finishes interact with older whiskeys. The latest in the series follows a burgeoning subtrend in cask finishing involving Amburana wood casks. Amburana is a hardwood native to South America mainly associated with cachaça production and has a reputation for adding “cinnamon roll” flavoring to whiskey (i.e., baking spice, vanilla, etc.) It’s not the first whiskey to mess around with the unique wood, but the 15-year-old, 99 proof blend might be the oldest whiskey we’ve seen embrace it. Only 4,000 cases will be available starting in October for an SRP of $250.

Angels Envy Triple Oak Bourbon on a purple stand surrounded by purple mirrors reflecting the bottle backAngel’s Envy

Angel’s Envy Triple Oak

Cask-finishing is the hottest trend in whiskey these days, thanks in no small part to the near-instantaneous success of Angel’s Envy. The brand’s Port-finished bourbon turned plenty of heads when it launched in 2011. A rum-finished rye followed in 2013. Over a decade later, a new entry is finally joining the distiller’s signature series. It’s a 92-proof blend of bourbons finished in French, Chinkapin, and Hungarian oak barrels, with flavors from the French Oak leading the charge. It’ll be available for sale at the brand’s Louisville, KY distillery on September 14th and then sold throughout the U.S. starting on October 1st for $75.

The Macallan

The Macallan TIME : SPACE

The Macallan TIME : SPACE is a whisky unicorn of the highest order. The ringed bottle in the image contains an absurdly old 84-year-old single malt scotch distilled initially in 1940. The whisky itself is a blend of two barrels, a first-fill American Oak Butt and a second-fill European Oak Butt, both of which were seasoned with sherry in Jerez de la Frontera and left to age in Speyside, Scotland. The smaller decanter shown in this image on the side celebrates the opening of The Macallan’s new distillery back in 2018. It contains a 5-year-old single malt distilled during the launch year. The bottle is shaped to fit inside the open center ring of the larger circular bottle, and together, they fit inside an oak sculpture made from alternate layers of American oak and European oak. Only 200 versions of the set will be sold by invitation at an undisclosed price, though it’s safe to assume it’ll cost over $150,000.

Heaven HIll

Parker’s Heritage 14-Year-Old Kentucky Malt Whiskey

Heaven Hill’s Parker’s Heritage collection is always one of the year’s most interesting and coveted whiskey releases. Named after the late Master Distiller Emeritus Parker Beam, who passed away in 2017, a portion of the series proceeds go to support the ALS Association. The newly announced 18th edition in the series is a 14-year-old malt whiskey with a mashbill of 65% malted barley and 35% corn. The whiskey was then finished in heavy toasted Cognac barrels for almost four months. Limited quantities of this delicious-sounding bottle will soon be available for an MSRP of $169.99 both nationally and internationally.

Jack Daniel’s Heroes Selection Barrel Proof Rye

The Jack Daniel’s Heroes Selection series is a limited-run whiskey series that celebrates veterans and active military personnel, with each release chosen “by heroes, for heroes.” The latest entry is a cask-strength rye with an ABV between 62.5% and 70% that was selected by U.S. Navy Veteran and Jack Daniel’s SVP general manager Melvin Keebler, and it’s only available in select military retail locations.

Welcome to the Year in Review, where we’re rewinding the clock on an entire year’s worth of coverage to highlight the notable and under-the-radar product releases that crossed our desk in 2024.

Other Notable Boot Releases

Tecovas Rugged Moc

Tecovas, a brand best known for its classically styled Western boots, expands its footprint with the new Rugged Collection. The standout from the collection is the Rugged Moc (pictured), however, a roper and chelsea boot help to round out the offerings. Each one features a Goodyear-welt construction and cowhide leather.

Snow Peak

Danner x Snow Peak Danner Light II

Snow Peak teamed up with Danner to offer a luxe take on the latter’s classic Light II. It swaps out the original’s nylon panels for a full leather upper, and it comes with a Gore-Tex liner, Vibram MegaGrip oustole and cobranded details, for good measure.

danner x madhappy mountain light bootsDanner

Madhappy & Danner Mountain Light

One of Danner’s most iconic products gets a fresh pop of color from this collaboration with LA-based, optimism-driven Madhappy. The new edition of the Mountain Light is available in two suede hues — Chestnut and Punch — for both men and women, while retaining the technical features that have made the boot popular for four decades. The one-piece leather design keeps out debris and water, stitchdown construction improves underfoot stability, Vibram Kletterlift outsoles boost traction and waterproof Gore-Tex liners keep your toesies dry. Every pair is made in Danner’s hometown of Portland, Oregon, too.

brown hiking bootNoah

Puma x Noah Hi-Top Hiking Boot

Puma’s ongoing collaboration with Brendon Babenzien’s NYC-based fashion label Noah delivers a new collection of outdoorsy footwear, outerwear and more. The headline release is a new high-top hiking boot equipped with Gore-Tex, lightweight nylon and brown suede overlays. And exclusive woven logo on the tongue completes the package.

Viberg

Viberg The Outsider II

Viberg’s second collab with David Coggins (a friend of GP) is a tweaked version of the brand’s 2040 Chelsea boot. The biggest changes include a lack of toe bump and custom embroidered pull tabs. It’s made from Italian-made Tabacco colored full-grain calfskin suede and available for pre-order now with pairs expected to ship starting in mid-December.

Billy Reid

Oak Street x Billy Reid Trench Boot

Chicago-based Oak Street Bootmakers and Billy Reid have partnered again, this time on a fantastic homage to the WWI US Army M1917 Boot. It’s made in the USA from waxed full-grain roughout leather, commando rubber soles, antique brass eyelets and speedhooks. Each pair is fully recraftable too and features Billy Reid’s grosgrain ribbon lining on the leather pull tabs.

blundstone-2405-black-suede-chelsea-bootBlundstone

Blundstone Originals #2405 Black Suede Boots

Fall is officially here, and so is prime boot season. Right on time, everyone’s favorite Tasmanian footwear brand is dropping a few new styles, highlighted by this black suede Chelsea boot treatment. Though it’s a softer look than the iconic traditional leather silhouette, worry not: This version retains the original’s water resistance in the face of autumn showers.

Nicks Boots

New Release

Nicks Boots BuilderPro HD

Daniel Day-Lewis isn’t just an Oscar-winning actor. He’s a bona fide menswear icon with superb taste in everything from sweaters to boots — namely, the BuilderPro from Nicks Boots. The brand just updated the classic silhouette, giving it an instep relief cut to reduce pinch points during break-in, as well as an extended heel counter to relieve pressure on the cuboid bone area.
