Apple iPod classic (2nd gen) review

Apple's done it again -- its new 120GB iPod classic is a cut above the rest. This edition has more features, such as the Genius playlist tool, and allows you to watch very high-quality video on its 640x480-pixel resolution screen. As with all iPods, you'll have to stick with iTunes, and spring for better headphones, but still, this gadget rocks Read more

Shure SE530 noise-isolating headphones review

If you're obsessive about music you owe your ears Shure's SE530 noise-cancelling headphones. They may cost £330, but they're worth every penny -- they make every other pair of earbuds seem vastly inferior Read more

Denon AH-D7000 headphones review

These Denon AH-D7000s are the most exciting headphones of the year, and they've trumped our previous favourites, the D5000s. At £800 they're very expensive, but they also provide excellent sound quality with rock, folk, acoustic, electronic and metal alike Read more

Sennheiser IE 7 sound-isolating earphones review

If you read our reviews, you'll know that as far as mid-range sound-isolating earphones go, we have a soft spot for the Klipsch Custom-3s. Well, now we have been introduced to the Sennheiser IE 7s, and boy are they giving the Klipsches a run for their money. The IE 7s are reasonably-priced, superb all-rounders Read more

Denon AH-C551 earphones review

The Denon AH-C551 earphones follow in a long line of great 'phones and hold their own while turning in an excellent price. Producing clean, excellent performance in bass and mids-heavy tracks shows these earphones mean business and are excellent value for their sales point Read more

Vita Audio R4 review

Vita Audio's R4 is a high-end CD/DAB system aimed at the bedrooms of high-end audio-lovers -- and by that we mean it's not for anyone who thinks the earphones that ship with iPods are anything but utter crud. With a crucial iPod dock and all-in-one design, this luxurious stereo setup wants to be as convenient as it is high-performing Read more

Sony Giga Juke NAS-50HDE review

At £500, Sony's Giga Juke might seem somewhat expensive for a hi-fi, but it can store 40,000 tracks internally, and its great CD player, DAB tuner and fantastic sound quality make it a very appealing option Read more

Sony Walkman NWZ-A818 review

We are happy to report that both high prices and Sony's SonicStage software are nowhere to be seen on the new range of A-Series players. Instead, you'll get a heap of high-quality codecs that can be organised with the utmost simplicity. Simple to use and great looks -- now who wouldn't be happy? Read more

iRiver Clix 2 Red Line 8GB review

The successful Clix 2 has now incorporated a red 'go-faster' stripe that adds a stylish touch to an already sleek and sophisticated player. Even better, the Red Line has doubled in capacity -- now an 8GB version -- so videos won't take up too much room in your music library 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
