| Review summary | The Gear4 Blackbox is a very attractive little system and certainly useful for anyone with a music phone. The lack of extra functionality is a little disappointing and certain music genres don't sound fantastic. Overall, it's a nicely executed idea and priced appropriately Read full review |
The Creative GigaWorks T20 Series II is expensive, but looks great and produces a pleasing sonic racket. We wholeheartedly recommend the T20s to those seeking a set of stereo speakers that do their digital music collection justice Read full review |
A terrific iPod speaker system, and one of our new favourites for the bedroom. It's got a great design and build, excellent sound quality and it's intuitive and easy to use. What more could you want from a system like this? Read full review |
A superb iPod sound system with generally terrific sound quality. Despite issues with songs that feature extremely heavy bass, it's almost certainly one of the finest iPod setups you'll find on the market today Read full review |
