Not only is the handsome leather backpack nice to look at, but it was also designed with tech-savvy travelers in mind. There's a microfiber lining to keep your tablet clean, a padded pocket to hold your computer, and a handy Karma Wi-Fi hotspot that can get up to eight devices online at the same time. What you won't see is a hidden tracking device powered by Tile, which ensures you can locate your bag and gear at all times.

For more than 60 years, the family-run company has been making world-renowned headphones from the Brooklyn townhouse they once used as a fruit store. Today, fans include serious musicheads and notable musicians like Neil Young, Aerosmith, and Phish. As a tribute to their heritage, Grado Labs produced the GH1, a limited-edition run made with wood from a tree grown in Brooklyn. We're giving away the last pair, but if you'd like a similarly rich and full-bodied musical experience, we recommend the RS2es.
