Reveals, New Launches and Gear
Quip Toothbrush
The Internet has already changed the way you shop for plenty of things, and now your toothbrush is next. Quip takes the hassle (and cost) out oral care by shipping fresh brush heads and toothpaste right to your door every three months. Their electric models start at just $25 (with manual options available for $5) and they’re available in both stylish plastic and metal finishes. After you’ve picked your brush, just sign up a monthly delivery and never waste a moment buying toothbrushes again.
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Wireless
The B&W Zeppelin pushed the bar for great iPod/iPhone sound when it originally launched in 2007. Now it’s back with an all-new design, a top-down overhaul of all the components from DSP to drivers, and packed with all the (simple) wireless connectivity you’ve come to expect. Available October 15.
