The first new Sonos speaker since 2023, the Play might be the brand’s most versatile option yet. It’s a wireless, portable rig that size-wise sits between the Move 2 and the Roam 2—big enough to connect to a turntable or laptop and small enough to take nearly anywhere. With an IP67 weather rating, it’s got a leg up on the Move 2 there.

This is the year of trail shoes, and the Sylan 2 is one of 2026’s most anticipated trail shoes. Built for speed in any terrain, it combines a PEBA superfoam midsole with a forked carbon plate for stabilized propulsion. While it sports an aggressive rocker in the forefoot, the heel was redesigned from the Sylan 1 to give it that missing stability. It’s definitely a shoe meant to go fast, but it still provides a ton of foothold and comfort.

Hard coolers are the clear superior cooler method. Problem is they’re heavy, clunky, and take up a ton of space even when you aren’t using them. Coleman may have solved a lot of that with its new Snap ‘N Go Collapsible Coolers. In seconds it can go from a hard cooler with 64 hours of cold retention to one-third of its size for storing. You still get the legendary Coleman cooling but now you can save space when you don’t need it.
Danner took the formula for its N45 Hiker last year (lighter, recraftable, and quick) and applied that to the iconic Mountain 600 Boot with its own modern glow-up in the new MTN45. Taking the Mountain 600’s Nubuck leather upper and placing it on top of the new EnduroFoam Plus midsole gives this low hiker a modern, cushiony ride. Combined with the Vibram Megagrip outsole gives you a trimmed down, leather hiking shoe that can log serious miles (like lifelong miles).

Apple recently surprised audiophiles with an update of its luxe over-ear headset. The 2 looks and feels the same as the original, but there’s some new tech under the hood (Apple’s H2 chip) that boosts performance. Mostly, it’s increased Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) capabilities and more powerful audio. “When I wore the headphones,” senior editor Brett Williams says, “the biggest shift I noticed was it was actually much easier to have a conversation in transparency mode—and on a phone call, the person on the other line couldn’t hear the fire drill sirens going off in the background. That’s powerful.”
Remember the Ultraboost? Over a decade ago, Adidas had the comfiest, bounciest midsole foam—and now its long-awaited successor has arrived. As Williams says, “The Hyperboost Edge uses a massive slab of a new compound, which is lighter with more energy return than anything in the old line. I’ve worn them for 14 and 16 mile long runs and loved the combination of responsive performance and comfort.”
