This week we’ve highlighted Sony’s latest VR gaming headset, Great Jones’ first glassware collection, Outdoor Voices’ new Outdoor line and more.

New this week

1. Sony released the PlayStation VR 2, a virtual reality headset designed for gaming on the PlayStation 5. The original PS VR was released in 2016 and was one of the first VR headsets designed for a gaming console instead of a PC. The new PS VR 2 offers many improvements over the original, including new Sense controllers, an HDR OLED screen, integrated earbuds and more.
2. Great Jones has released its first-ever glassware collection featuring three products: the Beyond Measure measuring cups, available in two and four cup sizes, and the Spout oil dripper. All new glassware is made from colorful borosilicate glass and is dishwasher safe.
3. Tempo, one of our favorite smart home gym brands, has launched the Tempo Core Starter Pack. The package includes 50-pound adjustable dumbbells with smart weight plates and a smartphone dock that connects to your TV via HDMI. You can follow one of the tempo workouts on your TV screen while your phone tracks your movements and provides feedback. Like most smart fitness machines, the Tempo requires a membership ($39 per month). The Tempo Move offers even more weights and a storage cabinet, and the Tempo Studio has it all plus a large 42″ touchscreen display on top of the storage cabinet.
4. Athleisure brand Outdoor Voices have launched their new line of 2023 OV Outdoors clothing, including cargo pants, shorts, sweaters, tank tops and more. The range includes many bright color combinations and mostly nylon and cotton fabrics.

What we bought this week

“I pluck my eyebrows instead of waxing them, but I have some very fine blond hairs under my brows that are difficult to get with tweezers. When I saw this battery powered pen sized trimmer and it was less than $20 I thought I’d give it a try. It’s not a super powerful trimmer, so it took several swipes to trim most small hairs. And I can’t imagine shaping my brows with it as I don’t find it very precise. But for what I need, it worked!” – Leah Ginsberg, Editor-in-Chief

“I bought this leatherology wallet for my fiance and my anniversary earlier this month – it’s great quality and the perfect size (not big and bulky but enough room for all his essentials). I also had them personalized with his initials which makes it more sentimental.” – Mili Godio, Update Editor
