Electronista: Stepping even further beyond its familiar realm of in-ear buds, Shure today added the SRH750DJ over-ear headphones to its roster.

These are tailored to DJs and audio editors and have pivoting ear cups made explicitly for turntablists or producers who need to quickly remove one earpiece during a mix.

Shure vows balanced audio out of the 50mm drivers but also both strong bass and an extended high-end.

The earphones are claimed as durable and have an extra-long 10-foot cable suited to the lengths needed at a club or studio.

They can take up to 3W of power and are better suited to the higher power of mixers as a result, though the company doesn’t rule them out for home audio.

Shure plans to ship the SRH750DJ in November at $150 (€100).

TechDigest: Headphone manufacturer Shure has just dropped us word of a couple of new products that they’re bringing to market. The SE115s are the latest addition to Shure’s noise-isolating range.

They come in blue, pink, black and red, and – well – there’s not a whole lot more detail than that being offered, except that they have ‘enhanced bass’. They cost £100 (around €110), which seems a tad steep, I must admit. As they’re from Shure, though. you can bet they’ll sound good.

Also announced are a pair of USB condenser microphones – the PG27USB and PG42USB. They come with plug and play connectivity, along with zero-latency headphone monitoring, and monitor mix control.

These are most likely targeted at pro audio professionals and podcasters that spend a lot of time travelling – they’ve got a rugged, portable design. The PG27 and PG42 will cost £220 (€240) and £270 (€290) respectively, and be available from 20th June.

Electronista: Shure launched the SE102MPA music and cellphone mic combo.

The set reaches below the previous baseline of Shure’s lineup by using the earbud design of the earlier E2C with the same music phone adapter as higher-end kits; the pairing gives owners of iPhones (including first-generation models), N95s and most other cellphones with a 3.5mm headphone jack the ability to listen to music at good quality while still having a quick toggle and mic to answer a phone call.

The adapter is strictly optional and can either be removed for music-only audio or combined with another earbud set from Shure or a third party should the existing set break or call out for an upgrade.
