I usually wear a 10 or 12 pant size, and during my initial testing period I gained muscle and lost weight. I wore every piece at least twice, both around the house and out and about running errands or attending events. I made sure to bend over, stretch, squat, use …

Technics is no slouch in the feature department, and the latest pair offers just about every modern feature you could want. You’ll find all the basics like auto-pause sensors, a multiband EQ, Google Fast Pair, and an Earbuds Finder, with customization available in the Technics app. In fact, virtually everything …
