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

Sony MDR-EX700 sound-isolating earphones review
The £200 Sony MDR-EX700s are a welcome addition to the high-end, sound-isolating earphone market. The lightweight 'phones fit nicely on the ear and are an excellent option for loud, powerful music. They also deliver pleasant warmth to softer tunes too Read more

Archos 405 review
Archos owns this price range of portable devices. For a little less than the 8GB version of the latest iPod nano, the 405 offers a large colour screen, great sound quality, support for high-resolution video and expandability options. All of these features make it quite the affordable player Read more

AKG K 518 LE review
The K 518 LEs are well worth a look if you're seeking portable earphones that you don't have to jam inside your head. They offer a compact, folding and stylish design, coming in a range of colours. They can make a few songs sound muddy, but their generally solid audio quality means they should appeal to listeners with eclectic taste Read more

Sony NWZ-B133 Walkman review
Sony's B-series Walkman is tiny and cheap, and is clearly designed for on-the-go use with its built-in USB interface and simple design. While it offers a good range of features, such as an integrated FM tuner and voice recording, it's not laden down with frills. The sound quality is good, though not spectacular Read more

Asono Mica (1GB) review
The Mica is easily the funkiest MP3 player around, and once you figure out its internal joystick-controlled logic, it's as easy to use as models less intent on aesthetic gymnastics. With an FM radio as well as line-in and voice recording, the Mica, available in black or white, offers plenty of functionality Read more

Audio Technica ATH-ANC7 headphones review
Audio Technica's ATH-ANC7 headphones are a comfortable pair of cans. Noise-cancellation is excellent and sound quality is good -- bass and treble are well balanced and mids are clear and prominent. Another favourable design quirk is the gold-plated audio jack, which ensures good audio transmission Read more

Sony Giga Juke NAS-SC55 review
Sony's Giga Juke NAS-SC55 is a multi-room wireless music system comprising two products: the main NAS-S55HDE hi-fi and the smaller NAS-C5E wireless speaker system. We have some complaints about the speakers, but the main system is dead simple -- and the detailed user guide will help any novices who find even one-touch ripping of CDs a challenge 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

Ion Audio Block Rocker review
Options are limited for those who want to make an obnoxious amount of noise outdoors. Thankfully, the rechargeable battery-powered Ion Block Rocker has arrived to deliver bone-rattling sound to even the most quiet, far-flung corners of the earth. For just £150, you won't find a more rugged and functional outdoor iPod speaker at this price Read more
