Monster Beats by Dr Dre headphones review

They may be pricey, but their style is undeniably cool and you'll definitely turn heads. What's more, the Beats perform very well -- the sound quality is phenomenally crisp and they're comfortable to boot. For a pair endorsed by Dr Dre, they're not excessively heavy on the bass either Read more

Oakley Thump 2 (1GB) review

The Oakley Thump 2 offers something that no other MP3 player has: UV and blue-light protection. That's because it cleverly builds a flash-based player into the frame of a pair of sunglasses for cordless on-the-go listening. It's also incredibly expensive Read more

iRiver H10 (20GB) review

The 20GB iRiver H10 outclasses most of the high-capacity competition in the features department, with a built-in FM tuner, a voice recorder and a photo-friendly colour screen. Plus, it's compatible with online subscription music services such as Napster To Go Read more

Sony PFR-V1 headphones review

The Sony PFR-V1 headphones are nothing if not interesting. While they're not initially very visually appealing, they aim to bridge the gap between headphone and speaker sound. Their unique design helps to create a more believable sound stage, especially for classical and acoustic listening Read more

Philips MCI-500H review

If the idea of having your entire CD collection stored inside a hi-fi, being able to beam it all over your house and being able to stream music from your PC wirelessly sounds appealing, the Philips MCI-500H is the right music system for you. Simply, this central music hub is the latest and greatest Streamium system from Philips Read more

KEF Picoforte 1 review

While some iPod docks are more concerned with convenience, KEF's Picoforte 1 is dedicated to audiophile sound quality -- and the difference is evident. Sporting a super-stylish design, these speakers allow you to shed your MP3 player's headphones for a more composed sound Read more

Griffin Evolve review

The Griffin Evolve is designed to work right out of the box, with no messing around with wireless networks, media servers or even wires. Reasonably loud, it's potentially the dream setup for anyone who just wants music wherever they are in the house or office, without seting up wireless music servers Read more

Cowon iAudio 5 (2GB) review

Cowon was wise not to tinker with the formula for its exceptional iAudio 4 flash MP3 player. Its successor, the iAudio 5, adds USB 2.0 support and improved battery life, but otherwise offers the same set of rich features and stellar audio performance Read more

Archos 5 Internet Tablet review

Running on the Android operating system, the Archos 5 Internet Tablet offers both ease of use and highly impressive performance. You can't access the Android Market, but videos look stunning on its huge touchscreen, and its audio quality is better than that of any previous Archos device Read more
