The Sennheiser HD 660S2 audiophile-grade headphones launched earlier this year and it’s time to put them through their paces for review. I am, admittedly, not overly picky when it comes to these sorts of hi-fi cans.

Add a touch of luxury diver-style to your Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic with these $19 Spigen bezels

Spigen Bezel Diver Samsung Galaxy Watch 6
From $19

Check out these new Spigen Samsung Galaxy Watch bezel protectors. The new Galaxy Watch 6 is set to begin shipping next week, pre-order deals are already live, and Spigen is looking to add an extra special touch of horological design to the experience. While I for one don’t normally champion any kind of a case wrapping around the dials of Apple Watches, Galaxy wearables, or otherwise, these new Spigen bezels have caught my eye. Pulling a design directly from what you would see on the bevy traditional dive/sport watches inspired by the world-famous Rolex Submariner (and many others before and after it), it adds a special sort of track to both protect the bezel on the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic and add a touch of design interest for a whole lot less than most good diver timepieces. Head below for a closer look.
