Most home-use weight sets include both dumbbells and barbells with interchangeable plates, perhaps along with something like a kettlebell. The Hyperbell system is different, in that it allows a set of dumbbells to serve all three purposes. Manufactured by Utah-based startup Jayflex, Hyperbell is designed for use with third-party dumbbells (for the uninitiated, those are the ones that you lift […]

Okay guys, it’s time to buck up and admit it. You’re a little jealous that women are getting all the attention. Why should they be the only ones who benefit from skincare products that help revitalize their skin, allowing them to glow and generally look younger?

Robots are invading our homes more and more, but (so far at least) their intentions seem nice, as they vacuum our floors, watch for intruders or keep our pets company.

Such is not the case with the ExRay, however, which uses light instead. Because radio waves don’t travel well through water, ROVs currently have to be linked to their surface-located operator via a long cable that sends […]

While many people may buy a separate daypack, waist pack and shoulder bag, the Operator System offers an alternative. It’s a modular setup that incorporates multiple types of zippered bags, which can be worn all together or one at a time, as needed. Created by Massachusetts-based clothing designer David Volante, the Operator System consists of seven parts: a torso-worn frame, […]

Though many mobile music lovers are going true wireless, audiophiles on the move are more likely to opt for the higher fidelity afforded by cabled ear candy. And it’s these listeners that German audio brand Sennheiser is aiming for with the $1,300 IE 900 flagship earphones. “With the IE 900 our engineering team managed to unleash the potential of our […]

Any fitness expert will tell you, weightlifting is about more than just lifting weights up and down. A new set of “smart” gloves is designed with that in mind, as they track multiple performance metrics in real real time.
