| Review summary | AKG's K 601s are fast becoming an audiophile favourite -- maybe because the sound quality is more speakerlike than that of any other headphones we've tested Read full review |
Historically, telly buffs have had to actually sit in front of their home TV to watch it. The Slingbox changes that, allowing you not only to control your TV from a remote location, but also to watch it anywhere at any time. It serves its purpose perfectly and can be recommended without a moment's hesitation Read full review |
While it's not the cheapest single speaker surround sound system on the market, it's right up there with the best, not only in terms of performance but also of design. Compact, sturdily built and attractive to look at, it delivers surprisingly effective multi-channel sound without the fuss and mess of a full 5.1 speaker setup Read full review |
The A-110 is a decent improvement over the original A-100, with a few useful features that will be attractive to some. The price increase is quite significant, but if you must have HDMI 1.3, DTS decode and SATA support, you'll think it worthwhile Read full review |

Fine for the price, but we have concerns about their durability, and their bass can be overpowering
Seagate Replica
Takes all the hassle out of backing up, but some will want more flexibility and storage capacity
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300
Our favourite ebook reader so far, despite lacking much of the functionality found in competing devices
Sony Reader Touch Edition PRS-600
Capable, and a good choice for students, but it's more expensive than rivals and the glossy screen is horrible
