Legendary audio is no stranger to Sennheiser, and they're starting to become famous for their technological prowess as well. Powered with intuitive proximity sensors that sense when you take them off and on, the newest Momentum Wireless headphones are a perfect example. This upgrade means that as soon as they're unfolded, the headphones pair with your smartphone and begin to play the music or podcast you left off with, ensuring you never miss a second. In addition to the Auto On/Off feature, the 3rd generation headphones have a three-button interface for control of audio and calls and a dedicated button for voice assistants like Siri and Google Assistant. And the crystal clear audio and cushy leather cups and headband are still intact, along with 42mm transducers with active noise cancellation and up to 17 hours of battery life.

For their 8-Inch Chef Knife, Made In went to the knife capital of the world. There, they sought out a family-owned, 5th generation knife maker to create their blades.
