What’s cute, cuddly, and makes all sorts of bizarro noises when it senses wireless waves? Yoshi Akai’s Wireless Catcher, of course! This analog synth contraption is simplistic in nature and complex in design, utilizing an onboard antenna to sense WiFi signals and then alter the sounds being outputted depending on signal strength and direction. It’s not exactly the symphony that Bach forgot to write, but it’s certainly beautiful in its own nerdy way

For a device with as much superphone street cred as the Milestone , you’d think a basic task like listening to music through the headphone jack would be a cakewalk. No problems, right?

We told you they’d be coming (as we discovered during our tour of Klipsch’s Indianapolis campus), and now those deliciously black / white colored Image S4 and Image S4i earbuds are finally making their way out to the general populace. Vann’s already has the Image S4 in white up for pre-order, while Apple stores are set to receive their Image S4i (includes an in-line microphone for iPhone yappin’) any day now.

Philips has been on somewhat of a roll with new releases overseas, and the outfit’s new SoundSphere might just be the most intriguing yet. Generally speaking, home stereos don’t do much for us, but the minty fresh MCi900 and MCD900 definitely add a fresh touch on an age-old concept.

Look, that BOSS TU-2 has served you (and eleventy billion other guitarists ) well, but isn’t it time for something a bit different in the pedal board mix? Stimmmopped is that very thing, which is a darling little contraption that uses LEDs rather than a microphone in order to tell you if your strings are tuned as they should be. Put simply, the device illuminates a string with a pair of lights, both of which are flashing at the frequency that the string should be vibrating at if it’s in tune; if you’re off, the illuminated part of the string will appear to be moving (thanks, stroboscopic effect!), and if you’re on the money, the lights will appear fixed

Here’s hoping you didn’t pay your British bud to bring you one of those fancy Tenori-On Orange music makers over the holidays, ’cause if so, you just paid an absurd premium to get it a few months ahead of time. Oh, and now you’ve got an AC adapter that’s bigger than your face. Nice .

We hate to point out the obvious, but it’s been a hot minute (or two, actually) since we’ve seen any new gear from Sweden’s own Jays . Evidently the company’s been hoarding up its wares for a mass introduction, as seven new products were brought to the public’s attention this week. The new a-JAYS and t-JAYS are both slated to hit the market in Q1 of this year, with each series being available in three different styles with different sound features.

Finally we get the chance to literally lay a track down. The Noteput interactive music table was concocted by a pair of German design students back in October of last year, but watching it in action is still a mesmerizing experience.
