The Menu

Five things worth owning this week — and the pile of stuff you can skip. Order links go to Amazon, and the house takes a small cut when you do.

EAH-AZ100 resting on an oval stoneware plate between a fork and knife, a smear of paprika sauce beside it

01 · Audio

Why we recommend

EAH-AZ100

Technics still builds turntables, and it shows in these earbuds. ANC that does not hiss, a tune that is not a V-shaped selfie, and a case that feels finished.

Stock phone earbuds are a placeholder. The AZ100 is the pair you buy when you want wireless that sounds like someone in the room still cares about hi-fi.

UltraSharp U2726DE centered on a white ceramic plate beside a small bowl of paprika, one dried flower stem

02 · Desk

UltraSharp U2726DE

$599.99

Colour-accurate QHD at 120Hz, with the ports built in.

The house take

Why we recommend

UltraSharp U2726DE

Colour-accurate QHD at 120 hertz, with the Thunderbolt hub already in the screen. One cable for picture, data, and power, and the ports you need on the chin.

A curved gaming panel is a toy at a desk. UltraSharp is the work monitor: flat, honest colour, and the dock you were about to buy separately.

Bellroy 3 Card served on a dark slate board with a folded paprika napkin and a scattering of dried petals

03 · Phone

Bellroy 3 Card

$85

Three cards, no wallet, still a slim case.

Skip the stick-on card sleeve.

    The house take

    Why we recommend

    Bellroy 3 Card

    Three cards in a leather case that is still slim. The wallet stays home and the phone does not become a brick with a pocket bolted to the back.

    Stick-on sleeves peel and add bulk in the wrong place. Bellroy built the cards into the case, which is the only version of this idea that still looks like a phone.

    Curtain 3 standing in a shallow pool of velouté on a wide plate, garnished with edible flowers

    04 · Home

    Curtain 3

    $89.99

    Sunrise on a schedule, without replacing your curtains.

    Skip motorized rods and the electrician.

    The house take

    Why we recommend

    Curtain 3

    Clips to the curtain you already own and opens it on a schedule. Sunrise without a new rod, a new panel, or an electrician in the living room.

    Motorized tracks are a renovation. Curtain 3 is the small robot that makes the existing drapes do the one smart-home trick that is actually worth it.

    EP-133 K.O. II plated on a matte ceramic dish with a paprika-red linen napkin and a sprig of dried flowers

    05 · Wild-card

    EP-133 K.O. II

    $329

    A drum machine that fits in a jacket pocket.

    Skip the laptop for making beats.

      The house take

      Why we recommend

      EP-133 K.O. II

      A sampler and drum machine that fits in a jacket pocket and invites you to mash buttons. KO II is the reason a laptop can stay closed when you want a beat.

      Phone apps for music are fine until you want something in your hands. This is the instrument: pads, a sequencer, and a speaker, without a studio in the way.
