Line 6 has a new entry in their POD lineup, the Floor POD Plus. Based on the POD 2.0, with some added extra effects, and built into a foot controller chassis, the Floor POD Plus fills the gap between the Floor POD and the POD XT Live. It’s priced at a reasonable $300.00 USD.

Buy the Shure E4 at zZounds for $299.99 (Jan. 14, 2007)
I wrote a short mini-review on the Shure E4 headphones a while back, but I wanted to do a more thorough review and haven’t gotten around to it until now. To start, the Shure E4’s are a well-regarded set of in-ear monitors priced around the middle of the in-ear market ($200-$300). As good quality in-ears they are appropriate for stage monitor use, shutting out the noise when you’re in a plane, or just for regular use with your iPod.

Shure has announced a new line of in-ear monitors. As with the old E-line, it targets both professionals and discerning consumers. The SE210, SE310, SE420, and SE530 range from a set of single driver in-ears at around $150 MSRP to triple drivers with an internal crossover at $450 MSRP. No word on how these stack up to the existing E-series yet. Apparently they are being marketed with the Push-To-Hear (PTH) accessory from the E500 available but optional.

I know I haven’t been posting since the server move, hopefully things will pick up again. The holidays were quite busy.
