Yamaha YH-L500A wireless headphonesYamaha

Yamaha YH-L500A

Yamaha is a storied Japanese audio company best known for its various lines of AV receivers, which serve as the central hub of some serious home theater systems. Now, the brand has released a pair of wireless headphones designed for watching movies on the go. The YH-L500A works on any Bluetooth-enabled device — so your smartphone, laptop, or tablet — and features Yamaha’s proprietary Sound Field technology that promises to create a three-dimensional listening experience. Basically, it sounds like you’re watching the movie in the theater. The headphones have two modes, Cinema or Music, to sound best based on how you’re using them.

Citizen Tsuyosa 37mm

After several updates, Citizen has finally released the perfect iteration of the Tsuyosa, the best affordable Datejust alternative. It has a 37mm case, introduced earlier in 2025, but the big update is the navy blue dial with a radial sunburst brushing. The integrated steel bracelet is a rounded three-link “president-style.” It runs on the Citizen caliber 8210 automatic movement with hacking and a 42-hour power reserve.

Wip Energy Pouches

Capitalizing on the popularity of Zyn, these similarly canned pouches offer an energy-boosting alternative powered by natural caffeine from non-GMO green coffee beans plus B vitamins (Niacin, B6 and B12) and chromium, which helps stabilize blood sugar. Available in four flavors and two caffeine levels (100mg and 200mg), Wip hits you with a potent tingling sensation and a refreshing taste that lasts around 20 minutes.

Maui Jim Hawaii Seashine and Hawaii Glow

In honor of National Sunglasses Day (it’s a thing), Maui Jim introduces two new lens tints backed by the brand’s PolarizedPlus2 tech for UV protection, glare reduction and color enhancement. Hawaii Glow (left) carries a gold/bronze hue reflecting the golden hour just before sunset, while Hawaii Seashine (right) is a silver/grey tone that mimics the placidity of the ocean on a calm day. You can find the former in the Ka’apeha frame and the latter in the Mekala frame.
