Got an incoming call while you’re busy listening to your tunes from your iPhone? You won’t need to remove your earbuds if it’s the Shure SE115m+.

The new Sonos ZonePlayer S5 offers a great solution for enjoying your entire music wirelessly. Everything can be controlled directly from your iPhone or your iPod Touch, although if you want to access your internet tunes, you will have to hook it up to your router. $400.
Shure makes sure (pun intended) that you not only dress the DJ part, you sound it too. Now they don’t make the decisions on what tunes you’ll spin but they’ll guarantee that you’ll hear your music loud and clear. The SRH750DJ, Shure’s professional DJ headphones is one such guarantee. Powerful and accurate, courtesy of the 50mm drivers in each cup, you’ll hear thumping bass and clashing highs clearer and better. As with any DJ headphones, the cups rotate 90 degrees for comfortable placement over one ear. Replaceable cups and a carrying bag lets you enjoy your cans for a long time. Available in November. $150.

These new Ultrasone HFI-2400 Headphones are driven by 40mm drivers and Ultrasone’s S-Logic technology and have a frequency range of 10-25Khz and 75 Ohms of impedance. They also feature metal shielding to reduce the emitting of magnetic radiation. Sounds like a solid package to us. $295.
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again; vacuum tubes add character to any audio setup. They add the warmth and depth to the sound that cannot be replicated by any solid-state device. But if you’re still uneasy about going the ‘tube’ way, then this amp’s for you. Japanese designer Koichi Futatsumata developed this hybrid amplifier for Elekit. The power amplifier stage of the amp is built on semiconductors or solid state devices while the character comes from the vacuum tubes in the tone control stage. Two 10W channels for the output give ample punch to a decent pair of speakers with a frequency range of 5 to 50,000 Hz. A mini jack on the side of the amp lets you connect your portable players. No word on pricing yet but it would certainly be worth it. $TBA.
