Everyday tech, audiophile gear, comfortable accessories, and more.

Thousands of products come across our desks each year, but only a few earn the Rolling Stone stamp of approval. Our team of editors spent months testing some of the best new electronics, smart home devices, outdoor gear, and accessories on the market as we put together our inaugural Rolling Stone Essentials list.

With a focus on performance, innovation, and design, this year’s list features 60 products that we found ourselves reaching for and using over and over again, whether working, relaxing at home, or on a socially distanced getaway. From our favorite headphones and retro-inspired speakers to digital cameras, sneakers, and a self-cleaning water bottle, here’s a look at what has caught our eyes and ears this year.
