Samsung YP-Q2 review

Up close, its plastic design leaves something to be desired, but the YP-Q2 budget MP3 player still represents excellent value for money. Its overall performance is good, there's a decent array of features, and the relatively large screen makes viewing photos and videos a pleasure Read more

Samsung YP-P3 review

It's not a stretch to say the touchscreen YP-P3 is an audiophile's portable media player. It sounds stellar, packs an enormous amount of features into a compact package and boasts a gorgeous display. The user interface might take a while to get used to, but there's very little to complain about really Read more

Samsung YP-S2 Pebble review

The easy-to-use YP-S2 Pebble doesn't just look like a very attractive, shiny skipping stone -- it also offers impressive audio quality, a number of useful features and a super-affordable price tag. Its battery life isn't fantastic, but, at this price, you can't really ask for more 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

Sony Walkman NWZ-W202 review

The cordless Walkman NWZ-W202 is a great alternative to the latest iPod shuffle for those who prefer their MP3 player to have great sound quality rather than minuscule dimensions. While the eye-catching design may put some people off, gym fanatics should definitely consider this robust, practical device 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

Philips GoGear Spark review

The tiny, wearable GoGear Spark offers a good feature set and decent sound quality for the price. One of the first MP3 players in its class to offer a colour display, the Spark's unique design and excellent battery life help to make it a real rival to the iPod shuffle 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

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
