Philips GoGear Vibe review

The GoGear Vibe budget MP3 player compensates for its deeply irritating navigation system by offering a well-rounded feature set and good sound quality. Photo- and video-playback capability are of limited use on a 38mm colour screen, but Philips deserves credit for squeezing in such features at this price Read more

Blue Microphones Mikey review

It may not have all the features we'd like, but recordings from the Mikey sound better than those of any other iPod recorder in its price range. In fact, even some more expensive rivals can't match the realism and detail of its recordings. Add in a pleasingly retro design, and you've got a winner Read more

Alesis ProTrack review

It's not small and it's not all that cheap, but the Alesis ProTrack stereo iPod recorder has one feature that comparably priced recorders don't: phantom-powered microphone inputs -- ideal for high-quality broadcast microphones. Most importantly, its recordings are generally impressive Read more

Samsung YP-U5 review

Those seeking an affordable secondary MP3 player could do far worse than the YP-U5. Its battery life is good, it offers above-average sound quality and it supports a decent range of audio formats, although AAC is notably missing. A fitness app also makes it well-suited to gym fanatics Read more

Microsoft Zune HD preview hands-on

The Zune HD looks like a real threat to the iPod touch. With an 84mm OLED touchscreen, high-definition radio tuner, and high-definition video playback via a dock accessory, it offers features that Apple's device can't yet match. It also looks like it might be cheaper Read more

iriver P7 review

With its sleek aluminium body and large screen, the gorgeous iriver P7 touchscreen portable media player looks like it belongs in a modern art museum. The included PC software isn't great, but the unique touchscreen interface makes for a refreshing change and the P7's audio capabilities are good Read more

Zoom H4n review

Outperforming more expensive rivals, the Zoom H4n is a superb mobile audio recorder that offers excellent performance, great sound quality and a solid, intuitive design. If you're after simplicity rather than flexibility, you may find the wealth of features overwhelming, but it's a great device nonetheless Read more

Numark NS7 review

If you can reconcile yourself to the expense of the NS7, as well as the fact that it's nowhere near as portable as other USB DJ controllers, you'll find you've invested in a top-notch piece of kit. The build quality is phenomenal, and it does a great job of emulating the control and feel of working with vinyl Read more

Cowon D2+ review

The D2+ is a great touchscreen MP3 player that's packed full of useful features and offers outstanding audio quality, thanks to its sound-enhancement settings. Users of its predecessor, the iAudio D2, won't notice a great deal of changes though, and the lack of AAC support is hard to justify Read more

Apple iPod shuffle (3rd generation, 4GB) review

The third-generation iPod shuffle is the smallest MP3 player currently available, and only slightly larger than a paper clip. While its unobtrusive design feels sturdy and the voice feature that tells you what you're listening to is useful, quirky controls mean it won't be for everyone Read more
