The Original Sonos Accessory Brand Just Dropped an Innovative Upgrade for Your Speakers

Flexson, known as the “original Sonos accessory brand,” has introduced a new in-ceiling mount that’s compatible with Sonos’s entry-level speakers: Era 100, Era 100 SL, Era 100 Pro, One or One SL. It allows you to discreetly install the Sonos speaker into your ceiling void, appearing flush against it so it becomes basically invisible. It comes with two acoustically transparent magnetic grilles, one round and one square, which can easily be painted to match the ceiling. The company says it’s “ideal for commercial installations in bars, museums, restaurants and shops, as well as for home use.”

Old Forester releases its Triple Char bourbon, the latest entry in its ongoing 117 Series. This is the Kentucky icon’s first expression to be made entirely at its relatively-new Main Street distillery in Louisville, which opened back in 2018. Held in 375mL bottles, the whiskey also underwent a unique process, aged in barrels that were charred three times longer than usual. According to the brand, “the extended char intensifies the interaction between whiskey and oak, producing a rich, layered bourbon.”

Crafted in NYC, these Mission Workshop shorts are built from an American-made, mil-spec woven fabric called SAM2 that’s lightweight, stretchy, water-repellent and quick-drying. And that makes for an outstanding warm-weather all-around option. The shorts also benefit from a classic camouflage print and a 5-pocket design that’s EDC-friendly, too. There’s even a hidden security pocket that’s perfect for your passport and other sensitive items, giving these shorts a travel-friendly boost, as well.

Named after the legendary Lockheed SR-71 reconnaissance aircraft, the Blackbird is Hennessey’s answer to hypercar fatigue. As such, it does without turbochargers, touchscreens and many other features you’ll find on today’s crop of exotic and high-performance automobiles. Instead, it keeps things old-school, pairing a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a six-speed gated manual transmission to deliver an estimated 800-850 horsepower to the rear wheels. It’s also dripping with details, including a ‘Whiskey compass,’ a 3D pop-up of the SR-71 and even a dash-mounted timepiece. Just 71 will be built in total.

Rumpl is bringing is characteristically cozy approach from the campsite to the bleachers with its new Gametime Puffy Blanket, a two-in-one combo of a padded seat cushion with a full-size stadium blanket tucked inside. The seam-sealed, water-resistant storage cube doubles as a 4-inch seat cushion, with 1-inch of insulated foam alongside the puffy blanket insert. The PFAS-free water repellant treatment, ripstop shell and easy-carry handles make this new release comfortable and convenient. Built with the brand’s trademark weatherproof, stain-resistant 100-percent recycled shell and insulation, the GameTime Puffy Blanket is built for long games and wet conditions.

Part of Shohei Ohtani’s signature collection, this nylon coach’s jacket is more refined than your typical thrift shop find. The New Balance logos on the front and back are embroidered, the hand pockets are welted, the cuffs feature adjustable snap tabs and the waist draw cord is secured with “pig nose” cord locks. Ohtani’s logo is printed on the right-hand chest, and the collection’s retro-inspired ball, bat and glove logo is printed on the back.
