These Birkenstocks feature just one oversized buckle for a touch of trendy. But style isn't the only thing these sandals are known for — comfort is at the forefront of this model.

The Sony WH-1000XM4 might not be the newest headphones on the block, but they've got it where it counts. They earned a 4.5 star rating when we tested them in our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, thanks to the game-changing active noise canceling and very good sound quality. Their case is better than both the newer options in the family, and they're potentially more comfortable as well.

The Apple Watch 10 has a larger display than its predecessors, as well as a performance bump to include sleep apnea notifications, faster charging, and temperature sensing.
