Sony NWZ-E436F Walkman review

It can't be avoided: any new MP3 player is in direct competition with the Apple iPod, and manufacturers are well aware of this fact. The Sony E-Series Walkman is just as easy to use as the iPod nano, offers a similar array of features and delivers great sound quality -- but costs less Read more

Sony Walkman NWZ-X1060 (X series) review

Expensive it may be, but the Sony Walkman NWZ-X1060 offers some distinct advantages over its rivals. With its effective on-board noise-cancelling technology, great OLED touchscreen and truly excellent audio quality, the question is: can it dethrone the iPod touch? Read more

Cowon iAudio U3 (2GB) review

The U3 features a dazzling, albeit tiny (just 30mm across), colour screen and video playback capabilities -- amazing for a player of this size. It sounds great, too. However, it's only £20 less than a 30GB video iPod and you can't use it with subscription services Read more

Sony NW-S205F (2GB) review

Sony's cigar-shaped NW-S205F MP3 player is a stylish, well-designed piece of technology with a feature set to be proud of. It's designed for fitness freaks, so not only does it benefit from a 2GB flash memory, easy-to-use controls and an FM radio, it also boasts an armband, sport-style earbuds and has a built-in pedometer Read more

Samsung YP-Z5 (2GB) review

It looks like a nano, and sounds like a nano, but the Z5 has two major differences. The interface isn't as intuitive as the iPod Click Wheel, but you don't need any proprietary software to load music onto it -- it's drag and drop on any OS. It might not be an iPod killer, but it gives Apple's baby a fair fight Read more

Archos Gmini XS 100 review

Archos's new svelte, eye-catching music player is like a smaller, lighter version of Apple's iPod Mini. While the 3GB Gmini XS 100 doesn't come packed with extras such as an FM tuner and line-in or voice recording, it boasts an intuitive interface, great music-management features, compatibility with subscription-based music and excellent sound quality Read more

Cowon O2 review

Cowon's new O2 PMP follows on from the smashing Q5W and A3 of last year, but scraps hard disks in favour of flash memory and SD cards. It's one of the most exciting product releases of the year in the PMP category, so we were thrilled to get one of the first ever off the production line Read more

Sony NW-A1200 (8GB) review

Sony's 8GB NW-A1200 series is more or less identical to the 6GB NW-A1000. With an attractive design, good sound quality and some innovative firmware features, the A1200 should please those looking for music playback only. Just be aware that you'll be entering the Sony universe, which includes the notoriously counterintuitive SonicStage software Read more
