Master & Dynamic Announces a New Color for Their MW60 Wireless Headphones

Master & Dynamic is a favorite over here at gear Diary, and the New York City-based audio company announced a brand new colorway of their MW60 Wireless Over-Ear headphones that are worth checking out.   On January 1st of this year, the Second Avenue Subway station opened, featuring 12 large scale portrait, with 10 mosaics and two tile works by Chuck Close that were placed at the 86th Street station entrances and Mezzanine concourse. Master & Dynamic sees the subway as an integral part of traveling around New York City, and as loud as the city can get, sometimes you want to…


Grand Trunk Medium Compression Pack Cube Is Great for Your Next Getaway

At $79.99 Grand Trunk’s medium Compression Pack Cube might appear a bit too pricey. There are, after all, much less expensive travel cubes on the market.

Noreve Travel Wallet Review: Travel in Luxury & Style

Tungsten and Aluminum Desk Cubes Entertain Just About Everyone!

However, out of all the items I’ve reviewed for Gear Diary, almost none have elicited the joyful response that the Tungsten and Aluminum Desk Cubes from Midwest Tungsten have!

QuietOn Active Noise Cancelling Earplugs: Silence Found?

My husband snores. not all the time but sometimes, and if I don’t fall asleep before he does, his snoring can keep me awake. Kev’s had a sleep test (there’s no sleep apnea), and he’s tried various anti-snore devices to no avail. I’ve tried earplugs, but they block everything (like alarms); it’s better to use QuietOn Active Noise Cancelling Earplugs.
