Incoming: Eight new tech products to check out this autumn

Isn't Pioneer thoughtful? The company's latest headphones are geared towards dance music, meaning all you DJs out there have got a tasty piece of kit to add to your collection. These are out this month (October) and are armed with rare earth magnets to maximise the effect of hefty bass and sound insulation, while "a 19 µm diaphragm and copper-clad aluminium wire (CCAW) voice coil accurately reproduce kicks and snares," according to the product description by Pioneer. DJs will know too well about headphones breaking so you'll be pleased to know the headband on these is made out of stainless steel. Not only that, the right ear can be rotated by up to 60 degrees, meaning monitoring during DJ sets will be made so much simpler. At £99, you won't have to dig too deep into your pocket, either.

Probably the sexiest of the lot here (the above is a prototype), this deck's sleek and sexy silver design alone is enough to make you want to snap it up and give it pride of place in your lounge. We're still awaiting a model name since Panasonic unveiled the direct-drive Technics product at its IFA press conference, but we do know it's made out of stark aluminium, has a "coreless stator utilising twin magnets for high torque and a twin rotor that enables pinpoint speed control" and has been designed with nods to the SL-1200s and SP10s in mind. Last month, Michiko Ogawa, director of Technics, told Wired: "Turntables are a very iconic product for the Technics brand. It is important to show our sincere dedication [to that]. The turntable market is very small but it is a very important brand product." He's not wrong and, despite the Technics brand being sacked off in the early 2000s, the name is still highly regarded by analog heads. Good job Panasonic is reviving it then, hey.
