JBLJBL Go 5
The JBL Go 5 is the latest iteration of the company’s ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker. It shares the same square-ish and rugged design as its predecessors, but JBL has upgraded the sound, promising to deliver deeper bass and get 10% louder, and a longer battery life. Maybe the most notable improvement is AirTouch; if you have two Go 5 speakers, you can simply tap their sides together, and they’ll automatically form a stereo pair. JBL offers the speaker in 10 different colors.
JBLJBL Xtreme 5
JBL Xtreme 5 is the fifth-generation model of its large portable Bluetooth speaker. It looks quite similar to past Xtreme speakers, but JBL gave it a new acoustic design with dual tweeters, a subwoofer , and enhanced power so that it delivers more of a “pro” sound. Additionally, it supports a new AI-powered SmartEQ mode, where automatically adjusts the EQ based on what you’re listening to.
FordFord Mustang TLD Signature Edition
With the TLD Signature Edition, Ford has collaborated with Troy Lee Designs to create a vibrant visual package for the Mustang EcoBoost. Along with borrowing the hood, front fascia and grille from the Mustang GT, this meant fitting it with a set of Sinister Bronze wheels and nostrils, as well as a matching pony badge. Moreover, you’ll find bright graphics from tip to tail, and the interior is exclusively available in Carmine Red. Rounded out by a serialized IP badge, just 550 examples will be built in total. As such, at $3,000 for the package, it makes for a accessible in to some Mustang exclusivity.
