Raumfeld Soundbar
Raumfeld (going by the name Teufel) has been developing audio products in Germany since 1979, but is just breaking into the U.S. market. One of its offerings is a six-speaker Soundbar housed in a solidly built cabinet that, because of its size, looks best underneath a 60-inch and up display. The unit’s size is only matched by the sound output. Movies come to life as the Soundbar creates an excellent soundstage. Adjustable modes can enhance the type of movie: Arena and Theatre modes will add depth to action sequences by activating the side speakers while dialogue-driven films will benefit with the emphasis of the center channel. The included wireless subwoofer adds extra kick to the lows, and with its slim and long design (eschewing the typical cube paradigm), it can slide underneath a sofa or stand up vertically, making for cleaner placement.
Belkin WeMo Switches
If you’re looking to easily retrofit home automation into your abode, Belkin’s WeMo range of products makes it dead simple. The Switch is a pluggable bridge that turns one standard electric outlet into a connected device via your home’s WiFi router and the WeMo app on your phone. The Lightswitch requires more DIY skills, but replaces a “dumb” light switch into a smart one, allowing you control of the switch through your smartphone, from your own couch or a couch on the other side of the world.

Topo Designs X Woolrich Klettersack
Collaborations make the most sense when the relationship is symbiotic. Take, for example, the tried and true Klettersack silhouette of Topo Designs merged with the classic woolen fabrics of Woolrich. Both companies take pride in American craftsmanship (the bag is handmade in Colorado), and the crossing of DNA results in a pack that epitomizes the open countryside, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail and the autumn/winter season.
