V-Moda Crossfade M-100
With headphones being treated as accessories and more of them more concerned about aesthetics and garnering people’s eyeballs instead of the wearer’s ears, it’s nice to have a pair like the Crossfade. Sound quality rings through—from the highs to the lows—and the looks aren’t bad, if understated is how you roll. Black faux leather wraps the headband and ear pads, matte black brushed metal comprises the hardware and a durable braided cable (it comes with three cables: black, orange and purple) carries the sound. A padded hard shell case comes with the package and a thoughtful feature is cable ports on both ears, giving you right- or left-ear options.

Oh Boy! Oberto Bacon Jerky
If bacon jerky were an NBA player, it’d be LeBron James—the perfect and lethal combination of Dwight Howard’s power with the quickness and cunning of Chris Paul. Combining the ever-popular bacon with the standby-goodness of jerky, Oh Boy! Oberto takes real applewoodsmoked strips of bacon and then gives it the “jerk” treatment, making on-the-go bacon-snacking that is 20 percent leaner than traditional pan-fried bacon.
