Apple iPod nano (5th gen, with video camera) review

The fifth-generation iPod nano is the best version yet, packing in plenty of features, including a video camera, while retaining the straightforward functionality that's a hallmark of Apple devices. It's not perfect, though, and owners of previous models will have little reason to upgrade, but it's a great device nonetheless Read more

PURE Digital One Elite review

For a relatively low price, the British manufacturer's One Elite DAB radio offers a heap of useful features, including live-radio pausing and rewinding. It's solidly built, easy to use and offers good sound quality with the spoken word, although it's average at handling music. Overall, it's a lovely radio Read more

Klipsch Custom 1 sound-isolating earphones review

The Custom 1s are a great pair of entry-level sound-isolating earphones, as long as your music taste plays to their strengths. With a very balanced, flat tone, they're far more suited to unplugged music than electronica or heavy metal. You also get solid build quality for the price, although the fit takes a while to get used to Read more

Archos 7 review

The gorgeous Archos 7 portable media player is an impressive performer that's especially good for watching movies on the go, thanks to its 7-inch TFT LCD touchscreen, which offers excellent picture quality. Unfortunately, if you want to use all the features it can offer, you'll have to pay extra Read more

Sleek Audio SA6 wireless earphones review

The SA6 wireless earphones are lightweight and comfortable. They can also be plugged into a traditional headphone cable for wired use, which is fortunate, as wireless reception when on the move isn't perfect. Nevertheless, the SA6s remain fantastic performers, especially with acoustic, vocal and softer music Read more

Klipsch Image X5 earphones review

Superbly compact, extremely comfortable and delivering excellent all-round audio quality, we prefer the sound-isolating X5s to their more costly X10 predecessors. Although rivals can offer even deeper bass, these are some of Klipsch's best earphones to date Read more

Cowon S9 review

The S9's main strengths are its sensitive touchscreen, great features and superb sound quality. Despite a disappointing lack of AAC support and an average user interface, it's Cowon's best MP3 player to date, although it's not as great a threat to the iPod touch as the company might like Read more

Sennheiser IE 6 review

The entry-level model in Sennheiser's IE range, the IE 6s are a cracking pair of earphones, with a warm sound and a voice suitable for pretty much any kind of music. Available at under £100, they're also sensibly priced compared to the competition Read more
