Amazon
Nothing Headphone (a) 2026
Nothing’s Headphone (a) arrives for 2026 with adaptive active noise cancellation, Bluetooth 5.4 and LDAC Hi-Res audio support — a combination more commonly found on headphones at a higher price point. Five HD microphones handle calls and voice pickup, while a dedicated app unlocks Ultra Bass tuning. The 135-hour claimed battery life stands out in a crowded over-ear market, and the London-designed aesthetic — available in a bold yellow colorway — keeps the brand’s signature visual identity front and center.
Vuori’s Aim Short earns its place as an off-course staple with a four-way stretch woven fabric — 67 percent polyester, 25 percent cotton and 8 percent elastane — that moves without bunching. The classic fit sits slightly fitted through the hips and thigh, while an 8-inch inseam keeps the look sharp above the knee. Front slash pockets and a zip back pocket handle everyday carry, making it as comfortable at the clubhouse as it is on a travel day.
Filson’s Medium Tin Cloth Duffle is built for travelers who want gear that outlasts the trip. Its 14-oz. waxed-cotton shell has weatherproofed workers and sportsmen for over a century, while a nylon lining, heavy-gauge YKK zipper and saddle-grade Bridle Leather carry grip bring the same no-nonsense durability inside and out. At 55 liters — enough for a week’s worth of kit — with a removable shoulder strap and exterior end pockets, it carries as practically as it looks.
Filson’s Rustic Canvas Jac-Shirt splits the difference between a shirt and a work jacket — cut for mobility but built from 11.2-oz. 100% cotton canvas tough enough to shrug off briars, wood chips and wind. A corduroy-lined collar adds next-to-skin comfort, while metal-shank buttons lock down the front closure and pocket flaps. Side-hem slits keep movement unrestricted, and the garment-washed finish means it arrives broken in. It carries Filson’s limited lifetime guarantee.
The Nano Puff has earned its place as one of the most versatile synthetic insulated jackets on the market — and Patagonia’s latest iteration doesn’t stray from the formula. A 100% recycled ripstop polyester shell with a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS keeps light moisture at bay, while 60g PrimaLoft Gold Insulation Eco retains warmth even when wet. Brick quilting and abrasion-resistant thread stabilize the fill for long-term durability, and the whole jacket stuffs into its own chest pocket. An ideal three-season layer for commuters and mountain-goers alike.
This now-discontinued version of Mido’s excellent Ocean Star Tribute, one of the best values in Swiss dive watches, mixes a rose gold PVD case with a blue sailcloth strap for an elevated, contemporary take on a retro dive watch.
Bulova transforms its iconic “Devil Diver”, so named for its 666-foot water resistance label, into a Pepsi-bezeled travel watch powered by a true “traveler’s” GMT automatic movement featuring an independently adjustable local hour hand.
Bulova’s incredible recreation of its 1950s U.S. Navy prototype diver hits like nothing else for the money, thanks to its faithful and quirky period-correct design that includes an insanely high-domed crystal and a narrow 16mm lug width.
Seiko’s souped-up modern take on its classic “Turtle” diver boasts its classic cushion case, 200m of water resistance, a rugged automatic movement and a cool grenade-like textured dial.
Bulova’s sister brand offers up arguably the best dive watch you can buy under $500: a stylish and well-sized vintage reissue of the brand’s 1960s diver of the same name.
Citizen brings light-powered toughness and utility to the field with this Explorer II-esque tool watch featuring an Eco-Drive GMT movement, a fixed 24-hour steel bezel and an adventure-ready NATO strap.
Citizen’s rugged budget diver boasts classic tool-watch looks, 200m of water resistance, a light-powered Eco-Drive movement and even meets ISO 6425 standards for a true diver’s watch.
The Tsuyosa is arguably the best sports watch in the world at its price point, and it’s the most representative model in Citizen’s catalog of the brand’s automatic-driven resurgence.
One of Bulova’s modern icons, the Super Seville blends elegant ’70s-inspired sports watch looks with the brand’s state-of-the-art, ultra-high-frequency Precisionist quartz movement for incredible accuracy.
The “Seitona” combines a convenient solar-powered quartz movement with a wearable 39mm case and classic steel sports chronograph design, all for an unbeatable price.
Seiko’s ultra-popular affordable automatic GMT was a revelation when it first appeared in 2022, and it remains a must-buy four years later … especially at this price.
The GM-2110D-4A brings metallic muscle to the iconic CasiOak silhouette with a 44.4mm analog-digital watch dressed in a stainless steel octagonal bezel and matching bracelet over a resin case. Its sunburst orange metal dial pairs silver-tone hands and indices with dual Super Illuminator LEDs, while shock resistance and 200m water resistance keep the toughness credentials intact. World time across 31 time zones, a 1/100-second stopwatch and five daily alarms round out a feature set built for daily wear.
Tensio is a screen-free, two-sensor wrist system built from the ground up for strength training. Worn on both wrists simultaneously, it automatically tracks reps, measures time under tension, logs rep tempo and flags left/right side asymmetries, with no phone in hand required. The device boasts a 30-plus-day battery life, and core metrics need no subscription to utilize.
Nike’s Vomero 18 plants its flag firmly in the max-cushion camp, stacking ZoomX foam on top of ReactX foam for a dual-density midsole that sits 44mm tall at the heel — roughly 5mm more than its predecessor. The engineered mesh upper keeps things breathable and accommodating, while a redesigned podular outsole smooths out heel-to-toe transitions. It’s purpose-built for easy miles, long runs and recovery days, and suits runners who prioritize plush comfort over outright snap.
Patagonia’s Black Hole Wheeled Duffel 40L packs carry-on-friendly convenience into a burly, sustainability-minded shell. Its 900-denier postconsumer recycled polyester ripstop pairs with a postindustrial recycled TPU-film laminate for serious weather resistance, while an internal collapsible frame and stout oversized wheels — complete with spare axles stored in the frame — make it field-repairable on the go. At 40L, it suits weekend trips and tight overhead bins alike, and it’s made in a Fair Trade Certified factory.
Patagonia’s Black Hole 70L is the go-to haul bag for travelers who refuse to make two trips. Its weather- and abrasion-resistant body is built from 100% recycled polyester ripstop with a recycled TPU-film laminate, and padded, removable shoulder straps let you swing it onto your back when your hands are full. A zippered side pocket doubles as a stuff sack for compact storage, while exterior daisy chains handle any overflow gear. Bluesign Approved materials seal the deal.
Klipsch The Three Plus Premium Bluetooth Speaker System
Klipsch’s The Three Plus is a heritage-inspired 2.1 tabletop speaker system that punches well above its footprint. Its biamplified 120-watt amplifier drives dual 2.25-inch full-range drivers and a 5.25-inch high-excursion woofer, while dual opposing passive radiators extend the low end. Bluetooth 5.3, optical, USB-C and a built-in phono preamp cover virtually every source — making it a strong centerpiece for a vinyl-and-streaming living room setup.
A compact active speaker with genuine audiophile ambitions, the Edifier M90 packs 100W RMS through dual Class-D amplifiers driving 4-inch aluminum mid-bass drivers and 1-inch silk-dome tweeters. Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC keeps wireless streams at Hi-Res quality, while HDMI eARC, optical, USB-C and AUX inputs make it equally at home on a desk or beside a TV. A dedicated SUB OUT port and 24-bit/96kHz DSP round out a feature set that punches well above the typical computer-speaker category.
Goruck’s Rucking Weight Vest ditches the flat-plate status quo with a body-contoured design that follows your natural shape — no pressure points, no diaphragm crushing. The 500D Cordura exterior keeps things durable, and the vest’s swimmer’s cut gives you a full range of motion whether you’re walking, running or grinding through a Murph. At just 1.5 pounds unloaded, it accepts Goruck’s patented Curved Ruck Plates (sold separately) to hit total loaded weights of 14, 20 or 30 pounds.
Built for surfers, anglers and anyone logging hours under an open sky, the Patagonia Surf Brimmer Hat earns its place in any on-water kit. Its shell is 96% NetPlus recycled nylon — spun from reclaimed fishing nets — with a DWR finish, a floating foam brim with dark underbill to cut glare, a miDori bioSoft sweatband that wicks fast, and a stowable chin strap that tucks away when you don’t need it. Fair Trade Certified construction seals the deal.
Patagonia built the Fieldsmith Hip Pack from 100% recycled polyester with a water-repellent finish — rugged enough to take a beating, versatile enough to look good off the trail. At 5 liters, it fits daily essentials without the bulk, and it converts from hip pack to crossbody bag or doubles as an organizer cube inside a larger pack. A breathable mesh back panel and daisy chains round out the utility. Fair Trade Certified construction seals the deal.
The Rambler Colster is Yeti’s stainless steel answer to the humble foam koozie. Built from 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation, it keeps standard 12-ounce cans cold to the last sip without sweating onto your hand. The Load-and-Lock gasket locks in place with a quarter-turn, and the whole thing is dishwasher safe and sized to fit most cupholders.
The Rambler 20 oz Tumbler is Yeti’s go-to everyday cup, built from kitchen-grade 18/8 stainless steel with double-wall vacuum insulation to keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. The included MagSlider lid uses a magnet to seal off the opening between sips, cutting down on heat loss and splashing in a cupholder.
Yeti Rambler 26 oz Insulated Water Bottle with Chug Cap
At 26 ounces, this Yeti Rambler hits the sweet spot between a half day’s worth of hydration and EDC compatibility. Its 18/8 stainless steel body pairs with double-wall vacuum insulation to keep cold drinks cold without sweating through your bag. To boot, the leakproof Chug Cap is compatible with other Rambler sizes.
Yeti’s Lowlands Blanket earns its keep far beyond the living room. Its DoubleDuty construction pairs a waterproof HydroBarrier bottom for immunity to wet and dewy ground with a plush, insulated top layer that shakes off pet hair, dirt and burrs. At 55 x 78 inches and 5.8 pounds, it’s sized for two and built to anchor a tailgate, beach day or backcountry base camp.
The Hopper Flip 18 is Yeti’s largest flip-top soft cooler, sized for full weekends rather than afternoon runs. Its leakproof HydroLok zipper and ColdCell closed-cell foam insulation punch well above the soft-cooler class, while the puncture- and UV-resistant DryHide shell handles real-world abuse. A HitchPoint Grid lets you clip on accessories like the SideKick Dry Gear Case.
The Roadie 48’s upright, suitcase-style silhouette fits wine bottles and 2-liter bottles standing tall, while rugged wheels and a telescoping periscope handle make it painless to haul a full load across a parking lot or soccer field. Pressure-injected polyurethane insulation and a freezer-style gasket lock cold in for days.
A Blade HQ and Spyderco collaborative exclusive, this tanto Tenacious swaps the platform’s familiar leaf-shaped blade for a modified, more aggressive shape, delivering a reinforced tip built for hard penetration alongside a thin bevel for clean slicing. The 3.5-inch satin-finished blade is 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, while a natural jade-colored G-10 handle and skeletonized steel liners keep weight honest. A four-way reversible pocket clip and signature thumb-hole opener round out a well-considered EDC package at an accessible price.
The Manix 2 is one of Spyderco’s many beloved full-size everyday carry workhorses, designed by Eric Glesser and made in Golden, Colorado. Its 3.375-inch MagnaMax blade rides on a full flat grind for low-friction cutting. Spyderco’s patented Ball Bearing Lock delivers rock-solid, ambidextrous lockup, while textured G-10 scales and a reversible tip-up pocket clip make it equally at home in a work belt or a front pocket.
Born from a collaboration between Pro-Tech Knives and Vero Engineering, the Synapse 2 is the first Vero Engineering design produced in the US. It pairs a 3.5-inch stonewashed MagnaMax drop-point blade with herringbone-textured 6061 aluminum handles. At 3.4 ounces and 8.25 inches overall, it’s a full-size push-button automatic that carries slim, making it a natural pick for EDC enthusiasts who want serious steel without bulk.
The Scapegoat Compact is a second collaboration between Pro-Tech and Ramon Chavez of Chaves Knives, shrinking the original Scapegoat into a more carry-friendly automatic without dulling its edge (literally and metaphorically). A 3.15-inch clip-point blade in CPM MagnaMax steel wears a black DLC finish, while the 6061 aluminum handle keeps total weight to 2.85 ounces. Pro-Tech’s push-button plunge-lock action fires fast and locks up with the precision the brand is known for. Made in the USA, it’s a strong choice for the EDC collector who wants Chavez’s industrial design language in a pocket-sized package.
Levi’s Anchor Relaxed jeans land squarely in the brand’s elevated collection — where time-honored denim construction meets a modern, easy-wearing silhouette. They sit at the mid rise and carry a full straight leg that softly stacks at the ankle, making them a low-effort choice that reads as deliberately styled rather than just comfortable. Available in medium wash, the Anchor suits the guy who wants a laid-back fit with enough shape to pull double duty from the weekend into the work week.
Part of Levi’s elevated Blue Tab line, the Marker Loose sits at the intersection of relaxed fit and refined construction. The jeans are cut from premium Japanese selvedge denim — woven on a traditional shuttle loom for a tighter weave, added durability and that signature crisp, finished edge. A mid rise, baggy seat and thigh, and a softly tapered straight leg keep the silhouette from going sloppy, while classic 5-pocket styling and a zip fly ensure nothing reads like a throwback.
Part of Levi’s Blue Tab collection, these wide-leg jeans are cut from premium Japanese denim — a fabric that deepens in character with every wash. A front pleat adds a tailored edge to a relaxed, mid-rise silhouette that runs loose through the seat and thigh, landing in a cropped, 23.5-inch leg opening. The result is a pair that bridges workwear-inspired structure and casual ease, built for the guy who wants a grown-up alternative to a standard straight leg.
Part of Levi’s Blue Tab collection — its elevated line where traditional craftsmanship meets modern silhouettes — the Anchor Relaxed jean sits at the natural waist and drops into a full straight leg that softly stacks at the ankle. Cut from premium Japanese denim in a non-stretch 100% cotton construction, it brings a clean, tailored structure to a genuinely relaxed fit. The zip fly and classic 5-pocket layout keep things straightforward. A strong pick for the guy who wants laid-back denim without a sloppy silhouette.
The Vaporfly 4 is Nike’s sharpest iteration of its marquee carbon-plated racer. It sheds roughly 10 grams over its predecessor by trimming the midsole, outsole and upper. A full-length carbon fiber Flyplate sits at a steeper angle than in the Vaporfly 3, pairing with a lighter ZoomX foam midsole and a 6mm heel-to-toe drop for a snappier, more aggressive ride.
Nike’s Structure Plus upgrades Nike’s storied stability line with a dual-layer midsole that stacks ZoomX foam atop a ReactX base to deliver both responsiveness and structured support in a single platform. A midfoot support system guides the foot through heel-to-toe transitions, while a dual-rubber outsole balances forefoot flexibility with heel durability.
Nike’s ACG Ultrafly Trail builds on the original with a updated ZoomX foam midsole tuned for greater responsiveness and a full-length carbon fiber plate softened for a smoother, more natural ride. A Vibram Megagrip outsole shaves weight without sacrificing traction, while strategically placed lugs handle the demands of both uphill and downhill racing.
Nike’s Alphafly 3 is still Nike’s pinnacle marathon racer, built around three performance technologies working in concert. Dual forefoot Air Zoom units store and return energy with each stride, while a full-length carbon fiber Flyplate delivers a propulsive, stable feel. An ultralight ZoomX foam midsole connects heel to toe for smooth transitions and sustained cushioning across 26.2 miles.
The Vomero Plus builds on the Vomero legacy with a full-length ZoomX foam midsole, the same material Nike uses in its elite racing lineup, delivering a high-energy return underfoot for daily training miles. A 10mm heel-to-toe drop and a soft engineered mesh upper keep the ride cushioned and breathable, while a high-abrasion rubber outsole adds long-haul durability.
Four decades in and the Pegasus still sets the standard for daily trainers. The 42 pairs a full-length Air Zoom unit with a ReactX foam midsole, combining with a roomier forefoot for an all-around more reliable ride.
Nike’s Pegasus Trail 5 Gore-Tex features a Gore-Tex upper and 3-D-printed toe cap lock out moisture, while a high ankle cuff blocks trail debris. Underfoot, a full-length ReactX foam midsole delivers 13 percent more energy return than previous React midsoles, and the Nike Trail ATC rubber outsole bites into steep, slick terrain without sacrificing smoothness on pavement.
The Pegasus Premium stacks three of Nike’s heaviest-hitting cushioning technologies — ZoomX foam, a full-length sculpted Air Zoom unit and ReactX foam — into a single midsole built for road runners who want maximum energy return without sacrificing everyday wearability.
Syitren’s RM1 flips the conventional CD player inside out, literally. The dual-layer transparent acrylic frame leaves the spinning disc, optical pickup and electronics fully exposed, turning playback into kinetic wall art. Mounting flat against a wall or standing on a desk, the device outputs audio via Bluetooth 5.3 or a 3.5mm jack and runs for six to eight hours on a 2,000mAh rechargeable battery. Its perfect for CD enthusiasts ready to put their favorite discs on full display.
The Frosted Cherry Microblade is WESN’s keychain-sized EDC knife reimagined for its Retro Collection — a limited drop that swaps the standard handle for a front scale machined from Arcadite, a proprietary translucent polymer engineered to hold color and clarity longer than the 90s electronics it references. The titanium back scale and frame lock remain, as does the D2 tool steel blade. At 3.75 inches open and 1 oz, it slips onto a keychain without a second thought — and ships with a WESNBoy 8-bit keychain gaming console.
The Voltage Green Allman is WESN’s EDC workhorse dressed in Retro Collection clothing — its translucent Arcadite polymer handle channels the see-through aesthetic of ’90s gaming consoles while revealing the knife’s internal steel structure beneath. A USA-sourced CPM S35VN blade keeps the cutting performance serious, and each knife ships with a WESNBoy keychain console loaded with 8-bit games. It’s a legitimate daily carry for anyone who wants premium steel without sacrificing personality.
The Samla is WESN’s Scandinavian-inspired take on the friction folder — a format prized for its simplicity and lack of a locking mechanism. Its 2.45-inch sheepsfoot blade in Sandvik 12C27 steel keeps an edge well and resists corrosion, while Grade 5 titanium scales and phosphor bronze washers keep the whole package under 1.4 ounces. At just 3.25 inches closed, it slips into any pocket and pulls its weight at the cutting board or on the trail.
Made in Sweden and named for the founder’s grandfather’s family farm, the Bornas is WESN’s first fixed blade — and it carries the weight of that heritage without the bulk. A full-tang CPM S35VN drop-point blade sits at 2.75 inches, keeping the overall package under 6 inches for low-profile carry in the city or on trail. A precision-molded Kydex sheath ships in the box, and a lifetime warranty backs every knife WESN sells.
Named after Wesn founder’s Swedish grandfather, the Henry is a slip-joint pocket knife rooted in Scandinavian tradition and sharpened for modern EDC. Its Swedish-made Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade — 2.35 inches of drop-point precision — sits in Grade 5 titanium scales with optional cherrywood inlays, keeping the whole package to just 1.6 ounces. The no-lock, slip-joint mechanism keeps it legal in most places, and a lanyard hole adds carry versatility. A lifetime warranty backs every knife.
About the size of a house key and weighing just an ounce, the WESN Microblade is a keychain-ready EDC folder that punches well above its weight class. Grade 5 titanium scales keep it light without sacrificing rigidity, while a D2 tool-grade steel blade holds an edge through everyday abuse. Ceramic bearings deliver a smooth, satisfying flick, and a frame lock keeps things secure when it matters. It goes anywhere — pocket, keychain or bag — without you ever noticing it’s there.
Nike cofounder Bill Bowerman designed the Cortez in 1972 to be lighter and more comfortable than anything else ever made. Decades later, its starring role in the film “Forrest Gump” locked in its legendary icon status.
A modern refresh of Nike’s original low-profile tennis shoe, the Killshot 2 updates its heritage with a mixed-material upper. Its original release in the heyday of #menswear crashed websites and sparked long queues outside J.Crew stores, and it’s easier to acquire now, it remains no less stylish.
The Zoom Vomero 5 pulls early-2000s running heritage into the present with a richly layered upper of mesh and synthetic overlays. Underfoot, Cushlon foam and a Zoom Air unit deliver a responsive, cushioned ride, even when the only thing it’s running are errands.
The Air Tailwind made its debut at the Honolulu Marathon in the late 1970s as one of the first shoes to feature Nike Air cushioning. This retro reissue stays true to the original with a textile and leather upper, low-cut silhouette and rubber Waffle outsole for durable traction.
The Field General digs back into Nike’s underappreciated football archive. A suede and textile upper nods to vintage gridiron aesthetics, while the referee-uniform-inspired colorway of this particular variant positions it as a bona fide foe to the Adidas Samba.
The Waffle Racer brings one of the Swoosh’s most storied running silhouettes back to the rotation. A moccasin-inspired textile upper with suede overlays and a leather Swoosh nods hard to Nike’s past, while a foam midsole adds modern comfort underfoot. Notably, the rubber Waffle outsole delivers that unmistakable retro profile.
Originally built for long-distance running, the LD-1000 debuted in 1977 and carried one of Nike’s most notorious design choices: a dramatically flared heel that was later linked to leg injuries. Today, it exists as a stylish relic of Nike’s divisive past.
The “open-heart” version of Orient’s modern sports watch is having its last hurrah. The current lineup was introduced in 2024 and got a final limited-edition restock, according to the brand. It’s 41mm stainless steel case holds a small seconds dial with a round aperture exposing the balance wheel below, available in crimson, sky blue, green and pearly white with a gold-tone case and bracelet.
Sony released its current flagship noise-canceling headphones, the WH-1000XM6, in May 2026. And they feature some key upgrades of their predecessors, the 2022-released XM5, including improved sound, call quality and active noise-cancellation, as well as a more foldable design. Since the release, Sony has rolled out a few new colorways of the XM6. And the latest one is Olive Gray.
Nothing’s budget-friendly brand, CMF, has launched its first pair of open-ear wireless earbuds. The CMF Clip Pro are earbuds with a clip-on design, popularized by Bose’s Open Ultra Earbuds, that grip the outside of your ears sort of like earrings. They are designed to play music while also letting ambient sounds in, so they’re safer to wear when running, biking or exercising in public. One of their standout features is the charging case’s smart dial, which lets you adjust volume and control playback without touching the earbuds or your smartphone. Available in three colors: Dark Grey, Light Grey and Coral.
