LIFE IS SHORT. GET THE GOOD STUFF. • There’s a giddy excitement that hangs in the air around the PopMech offices when it comes to gear, especially during our annual awards season. It’s a moment in time when all the editors proudly reveal their finds from an exhaustive year of testing and reviewing, and bring forth the best of the best. We gather everything from headphones to indoor smokers, show-casing a comprehensive list of the tools and tech we keep returning to time and again. We enjoy the gear that makes our lives a little easier, a little more fun. After all, who among us isn’t something of a gearhead?
