Here come the dog days. Time to get the heck outta town and do as little as possible. This month we found the speaker you’ll use to pump up the jams at the beach, the water gun you’ll use to cool off, and the headphones you’ll listen to on the way there.

The Best $200 Headphones
When it comes to $200 pairs of cans, there aren’t many that can top the Harman Kardon CLs. Are there better sounding headphones out there?

The Best Gaming PC for $1500 or Less

This Summer’s Best Water Gun
The Water Warriors Colossus does super soaking better than Super Soaker because it doesn’t try to be some kind of 21st century supertoy. In fact, it looks a lot like the Super Soakers of yore-offensively colored, a big bubble tank in the back, and a pump mechanism up front. It feels a little chintzy, but once you pull the trigger, it’s anything but. More »
