Spotify finally released the Car Thing in the U.S. after building up hype for the release in the past year with a wait-list and limited trial releases. It’s the music streaming giant’s first foray into hardware. The $90 device lets you stream Spotify and includes a knob for changing songs as well as voice control capabilities — you'll need a Spotify Premium subscription to use it. You may have also seen Spotify in headlines recently for how it handles misinformation on its platform. If you want to take your music with you outside the car, you may want to consider my favorite earbuds, Jabra’s Elite Active 75t.

Bonobos drops new Fielder collection
Popular menswear brand Bonobos easily made it into our guides to work from home pants for men and untucked men’s button down shirts.
