There are headphones, and then there are headphones. The Muzik One headphones are the first smart, socially connected headphones. The headphones feature full integration with both Spotify and IFTTT, which means that you can use your headphones for just about anything you can imagine, from turning on your lights at home to getting the weather report, to opening your garage so you can park your car. Its Spotify collaboration marks the first between a music streaming service and a connected headphone company. Also, you can switch from on-ear to over-ear headphones and vice versa.

Still not convinced? Some of the world’s most famous athletes and entertainers, like Drake, comedian Kevin Hart, Super Bowl champion and MVP Von Miller, and NBA All-Star Chris Paul have promoted the brand or are strategic investors and partners.

Muzik One headphones also have programmable Hot Keys so that you can use one touch functionality, voice control, intuitive touch control and long-range wireless connectivity. Plus, when you download the Muzik Connectivity app and link it up to your headphones via Bluetooth, you’ll be able to customize your hot keys to do the following:

Connect: Enhance music and social media experiences by connecting directly with Facebook, . Twitter, Spotify, Apple Music and more with the Muzik® Connect App

Discover: Proprietary software identifies the song being played and automatically finds a legal link for sharing on social networking platforms

Share: Current track, location, weather, time, and an image from Google Street View

Customize: Program hot keys to speed dial favorite contacts, save or share songs, get the news and more with one touch

How many pairs of headphones can do all that? None that we’re familiar with. So if you’re in the market for some holiday gift giving, or if you just want a new pair of headphones, go for a pair of the Muzik One headphones. They beat out your headphones in functionality by a landslide.

Muzik One headphones, $299 at muzikconnect.com.

We’re only a few months away from our new Bond, Producer Amy Pascal teases

Clothing, Shirt, Adult

Since Daniel Craig bit the big one in his James Bond swan song in 2021’s No Time to Die, fans have been waiting to find out who the next person to drink the martini shaken instead of stirred will be. In true Bond fandom fashion, a whole slew of fancasts have started to muddle the waters as to who could possibly be the new 007. Callum Turner, Jacob Elordi, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and more have all been pitched as possible replacements. Some more ethnically diverse options like Henry Golding and Rene Jean-Page have also emerged. But, alas, no word has come down from on high to give us the scratch to this fan itch raging on for the last five years. That is, until Producer Amy Pascal sat down during her Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour and gave a bit of insight on when we can expect an announcement, and also what we can expect in the cast.

I would say the end of the year is a good bet. We are being really, really methodical. – Amy Pascal

Elevate your elegance: Choosing your first cigar

Face, Head, Person

Earlier this year, I was strolling the streets of New York and ended up sitting in the Carnegie Club with an Old Fashioned in one hand and a cigar in the other while My Way by Frank Sinatra played from a speaker flanking leather-bound books behind the couch I had been using as my perch. It was my first cigar, but it led to a slight obsession that recently found me on the back deck of a lodge in Kenya, staring at Mount Kilimanjaro and smoking a stick while giraffes meandered by. Admittedly, there has been no intention in my budding hobby; I am aimlessly choosing the cigars that look good (the ones that look like those smoked by Arnold or Stallone in the movies, obviously). But I have decided to approach these in a new way, with a little help from my friends over at La Aurora, who graciously decided to navigate my ignorance with some info compiled by Brand Manager John Gaglio, with input from Master Blender Manuel Ynoa, CEO Ed McKenna, and Brand Manager Elvis Batista.

What to look for in your first cigar

FIFA’s Gianni Infantino Is Uglifying the Beautiful Game With $20 Billion Plot — But the Global Soccer Community’s Punching Back

People, Person, Crowd

For the better part of two decades, perhaps even more, corruption has allegedly run rampant within FIFA. Sepp Blatter, in particular, became the face of alleged extortion schemes, and he operated with impunity while at the helm of the organization for 17 years, from 1998 until his forced resignation in 2015 amid an FBI corruption probe. He’s banned for life from all football-related FIFA activities. If you’re new to the organization’s alleged deep connection to corruption, Netflix offers a brilliant 2022 documentary, FIFA Uncovered. In that documentary, Gianni Infantino appears in his previous capacity as Secretary General of UEFA (2009-2016) and later as the newly elected FIFA president, who vowed to root out corruption and hand the beautiful game back to the people where it belongs.

That, as it turns out, was all wishful thinking.
