Here's my new one :)
Love it!
Maybe it’s time to lay off going into every thread that contains the word Northfield and questioning or pointing out where they are made and what tier they are in as you seem ignorant on the issue....

Agreed on the AirPods Pro 2. Picked up a pair on a vacation trip to Switzerland (full retail) and have been stuck on them since. Compact for travel and great for working out and chores around the...
Hopefully you'll see more than one tuhker.
I'm with Scott on this one. It was a very satisfying moment when I decided to donate my snakehead. 100% original with the original case. Both in...
