TUMI and Master & Dynamic joined forces to create the first launch of their multi-year partnership, the MW09 Wireless Earphones, which blend what both brands are known for — performance and style. The earphones are made with premium materials, feature active noise cancellation, and have a design inspired by TUMI’s 19 Degree collection.

“Our customers expect the very best from TUMI, which is why we’ve partnered with Master & Dynamic — a brand renowned for crafting premium, high-quality audio products,” TUMI Creative Director Victor Sanz explained. “This collaboration brings together two seemingly distinct worlds that, in reality, complement each other perfectly. When the iconic contours of 19 Degree combine with the superior engineering of Master & Dynamic, the result is not just an elevated piece of tech — it’s a work of art.”

The new earphones have up to 16 hours of playtime, and the charging case extends total battery life to 48 hours. Made from aluminum, they’re built to withstand travel wear and tear while still looking sleek and modern. The charging case is a statement piece as much as it is a functional accessory, and its compact design fits easily into any bag, making it a perfect addition to your everyday carry.

Beyond the looks, the earphones deliver an amazing sound experience powered by Master & Dynamic’s renowned sound engineering. The active noise cancellation technology lets you block out distractions whether you’re on a long flight, in a packed airport, or commuting through noisy streets. And the crystal-clear sound lets you enjoy your music, podcasts, or calls in peace.

Priced at $450, the MW09 Wireless Earphones are now available on Master & Dynamic’s website, select TUMI retail stores, and TUMI’s online platform.

Canyon de Chelly: A Beautiful Place With a Powerful and Tragic History
Peter Horan

From the rim of Canyon de Chelly, the view is almost impossibly beautiful. Sheer red sandstone walls plunge hundreds of feet toward a green ribbon of cottonwood trees and cultivated fields. Ancient stone dwellings cling to narrow ledges high above the canyon floor. It’s the sort of landscape that makes you reach for your camera before you’ve even begun to understand what you’re looking at.

But Canyon de Chelly is much more than another spectacular Southwestern landscape. People have lived here for nearly 5,000 years, and unlike most of the great archaeological sites of the Southwest, this is still a place where families live, farm, and maintain deep connections to their ancestral homeland. It’s also the setting for one of the most tragic chapters in American history.

I tried FlipSide’s luggage: its clever compartments changed the way I organize my trips
A set of three FlipSide luggage travel bags

Organizing items in your suitcase or backpack should be a one-time thing, but that’s rarely true. Even if you save space by rolling your clothes and arrange your gear in a Tetris-like formation, things seem to explode the second you land at your destination and unzip your bag. Even worse, dirty laundry and souvenirs make you rethink your whole packing strategy, and staying at multiple properties means that you’ll have to do it over and over again. Thankfully, the FlipSide luggage suite tackles this issue—but did it really make packing easier for me?

I’ve spent much of 2026 testing three of the brand’s bags, including the 22-inch Ryan Carry-On, 26-inch Ryan Checked Bag, and the FlipSide Backpack. And I’m delighted to share that in a world of premium bags to choose from, these actually made a difference. This is largely due to one design element that both improved and simplified my packing experience — a zippered divider that let me split each bag into two distinct packing areas.

Aye aye, SIR: Checking in to Copenhagen’s most nautical hotel
admiral hotel copenhagen review da2fb40d 5c11 48d3 aa26 4583c8c7

I spend a good portion of the year in Copenhagen, and I have walked past Admiral Hotel Copenhagen approximately one million times. It’s hard to miss. The hulking timber-and-brick warehouse sits right on the harbor along Toldbodgade, a few minutes from Nyhavn, gazing across the water at the Royal Danish Opera House like it’s been there longer than everyone else (It has).

Every time I passed, I had the same thought: I should stay there. Which is a slightly unhinged thing to think about a hotel in the city where you already have a perfectly good bed. But after the hotel wrapped up a multi-year renovation this summer, my boyfriend and I finally gave in and booked a staycation.
