Belkin Nintendo Switch 2 Charging CaseBelkin

Belkin Nintendo Switch 2 Charging Case

Belkin has released several accessories for the Nintendo Switch 2 — it’s actually the brand’s first foray into the gaming accessory category — and this travel case is the standout. It has a durable exterior and a brushed velvet interior lining. And it features a game card storage flap and a hidden AirTag compartment (AirTag not included). But its standout feature is that it comes with a 10,000mAh power bank, which has enough juice to fully recharge the Switch 2 up to 1.5 times. This way, you can easily charge your Switch 2 while you travel. Belkin offers the case in three colors: charcoal, sand or green (shown).
Civivi Pragma Prime EDC knifeCivivi

Civivi Pragma Prime

One of Civivi’s best small knives has gotten a full-sized, fully-featured big brother in the Pragma Prime. While it loses its integrated carabiner clip, it retains its futuristic styling, button lock and sheepsfoot blade shape. However, it also gets a blade upgrade from Nitro-V to 14C28N, offering better overall edge retention. For those looking to upgrade, there’s also a finer Damascus blade option for a little extra money.

No. 22 Drifter X

Of No. 22’s dazzling three-member family of Drifter gravel bikes, this all-road-oriented option is perhaps the most stunning. Optimized for precise handling and seamless power transfer on Gucci gravel and tarmac, the Drifter X boasts a compact rear triangle, reduced stack height, stiff drivetrain, titanium seat mast and No. 22’s signature 3D-printed topper. Accommodating up to 42mm tires, it also features a No. 6 Composites gravel fork and the option for full internal cable routing via the brand’s 3D-printed titanium cockpit system. Every bike is built to order at No. 22’s upstate New York facility, with a lead time of six weeks for framesets and eight weeks for complete bikes.

Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro X

Beyerdynamic has released an updated version of its DT 990 Pro, which has been the venerable hi-fi maker’s most popular studio headphones for the last several decades. The DT 990 Pro “X” has been updated with the brand’s STELLAR.45 driver system and a lower impedance (48 ohms), so they promise to sound better and be easier to drive than their predecessors. The design of these open-back headphones has been tweaked to improve comfort. They also have a detachable cable (a 3-meter mini-XLR to 3.5mm), which provides listeners with the flexibility to switch between lengths or inputs using a different cable.

New Balance Made in USA 992CC

After years of dominance by the 990, the 992 is currently in contention for New Balance’s “It” sneaker. It offers a softer, more rounded appearance with layers of suede panels over a mesh base. Combining New Balance’s ENCAP heel block, C-Cap midsole and ABZORB cushioning provides an exceptional balance of support and bounce. As with all the Made in USA models, it is the highest quality New Balance offers.
