The company's latest in-ears have a two-year water damage warranty, wireless charging, noise canceling, and a mighty cozy fit.

ONA The Bowery Ive owned this bag (the black waxed-canvas version) for more than six years, and it remains in great shape. Its attractive and perfect for short outings that span several hours, with plenty of padding and a divider to keep your gear protected—though youll only be able to fit a camera with a lens attached and an additional lens.
