There are a ton of great products that drop every week — and we're here, as always, to keep you up to date on the best of them. Each week, we'll be rounding up a short list of our favorite product drops from the last seven days for you to shop as you sip your morning coffee or take a quick break from work (trust, it's the only list you need for staying up to date on these things).
This week brings the launch of the latest Cabeau travel pillow, two new Sony portable Bluetooth speakers, a seasonal Supergoop sunscreen and more.
This All-Star home theater upgrade just got even better
Back in January, our colleagues first saw the new Samsung The Frame Pro TV. Now it's finally beginning to ship. Deemed the 'most exciting CES 2025 TV' by Underscored's resident tech maestro, Henry T. Casey, the new and improved version of the television that doubles as a digital art display wowed by implementing Samsung's Neo QLED technology.
Casey was impressed by its brighter colors and upgraded contrast, which should help for bringing everything from moody, cinematic hits like 'Dune' and classic works of art like Katsushika Hokusai's Great Wave off Kanagawa to life. There's also the new Wireless One Connect box, which helps The Frame Pro live up to its namesake. There are less cords to run from your entertainment console up to the television, offering a cleaner look that more closely resembles a framed piece of art.
Those upgrades all earn the television a steep price tag. The 65-inch version starts at $2,200, while the larger 75- and 85-inch offerings retail for $3,200 and $4,300, respectively.
Like sun-kissed skin in a bottle
One of our favorite sunscreens comes in a new, glowy formula. The Glowscreen Soft-Radiance Drops deliver an all-over highlight that lives up to its name. Its made with SPF 40 and skin care goodies like hydrating jojoba and sunflower oil and turmeric extract to brighten the appearance of skin. Its squeezy tube packaging makes it easy to dispense a controlled amount directly onto skin. I just traveled to Florida, and the Golden Hour shade blends seamlessly with my tan. I've yet to test it against the sun's rays, but I can attest that it lays a beautiful, lightweight makeup base. It doesn't feel greasy or irritate my dry, sensitive skin.
The maker of our favorite travel pillow just got an upgrade
For years, we have entrusted Cabeau with keeping us comfortable on flights, long car rides and the like. After testing 10 popular travel pillows, the Cabeau Evolution S3 came out on top as our favorite pick. This week, the brand decided to give us a treat ahead of your next spring or summer travel plans with the release of its Evolution X pillow. This new edition is adjustable, has a convenient front closure and prevents your head from tilting to avoid neck pain.
We love that it is suitable for a variety of heights with these new features and its upgraded breathability features with the large frontal cooling vents and lightweight cover. It retails for $50 in four different colors and is selling out quickly so snag it while you still can.
Two new versions of an editor-approved speaker
Sony has launched two new portable Bluetooth speakers this week. Last year, the brand refreshed its latest audio products with the Ult series, and now two new additions have arrived. We raved about the original Ult Field 1 speaker back when our editors took it for a spin, and our senior deals editor Rikka Altland shares much of the same sentiments around its bass-heavy audio system after using it herself.
Now, the Sony Ult Field 3 and Ult Field 5 deliver much of the same features, just with louder sound systems. There's still the same Ult technology that gives the whole lineup its name, allowing you to boost the bass output just by pressing a button. If these new speakers are anything like their smaller counterpart, there will be a lot to love.
The new Sony Ult Field 3 sells for $200 and the Ult Field 5 clocks in at $330. Both are now available for purchase at Amazon.
Celebrities like Bella Hadid have been seen sporting these adorable ballet-inspired flats. They combine streetwear elements like a rubber sole and lace-up design with the satin material and shaped toe seen in the dance shoes. Choose from four colors, including black, white, pink and blue. They can even fold up in half for easy portability — much like a true ballet style. TKTK
This vegan and compostable deo is Easter basket ready
For those in the market for unique Easter basket items, consider this adorable and sustainable refillable deodorant from Wild. The starter pack, which includes the egg-adorned case and compostable refills, starts at $15. Depending on your skin type and preference, you can choose from 15 classic scents and eight sensitive scents like Cherry Blossom, Juicy Mango and Ocean Mist — just to name a few.
If you're looking to set your giftee up, you have the option of adding on a subscription with refills that can be delivered anywhere from four to 14 weeks. Doing this saves you 20% and you can skip or cancel the subscription at any time.
Retro Xbox vibes with modern Hall Effect joysticks
Last week, we shared Backbone's take on the resurgence of transparent designs that is sweeping through the world of consumer electronics. 8Bitdo is following suit with a translucent green controller of its own. The new Ultimate 3-Mode Controller is reminiscent of the gamepad that came in the box with the original Xbox back in 2001, but works with more than just Microsoft consoles. Xbox and Windows PCs may be at the top of the compatibility list, but you'll also find support for iPhones, iPads and Android smartphones.
As retro as the jade green design is, 8Bitdo is backing its newest gamepad with some more modern tech. Hall Effect joysticks allow the controller to fight off stick drift and other issues that plague controllers after prolonged use. There's also back paddle buttons and a 3-way switch that allows you to quickly toggle between connected devices.
You can pre-order the 8Bitdo Ultimate 3-Mode Controller for $70 at Amazon.
Be the best-dressed guest
Outfit your slate of weddings this year with Abercrombie's wedding guest outfits. New styles just dropped in the brand's Best Dressed Guest collection, including everything from halter neck and strapless necklines to satin and ruffled materials. Even the bride can get in on the action, with mini dresses perfect for rehearsal dinners and white sets for bachelorette parties. For men, there are tailored suit offerings as well as casual yet polished sweater polos and linen options. I previewed the collection in person and loved all the options for every sort of destination wedding, from tropical to courthouse. As we all know, weddings can be an expensive affair, so I appreciate that most styles fall under $100 too.
Mix and match bestselling lotions and washes
Our associate deals editor, Elena Matarazzo, has been using Salt & Stone body wash and mist for the past few months. She has been loving the brand's Saffron & Cedar scent and has even swapped out Glossier You as her everyday perfume for the brand's clean smelling body spray.
Today, Salt & Stone released its latest Build Your Own Mini Set that allows you to mix and match four of its bestselling products in a travel ready size. Deodorant, body mists, lotions and washes in Santal & Vetiver, Bergamont & Hinoki and more range from $12 to $20 and are perfect for throwing in a gym bag or commuter tote.
