Denon S-81DAB review

The Denon S-81DAB is a reassuringly well-built CD player and radio with integrated amplifier and an iPod dock. Connectivity is good -- the unit includes an AK-P100 dock which lets you plug your iPod straight into the Denon for complete playback control -- and it puts up an excellent fight performance-wise Read more

Philips WACS700 review

The bold, pin-striped fascia, the glossy black plastic and the silver control panel of the WACS700 would all look perfectly at home on the shelves of a Thatcher-era City trader, but digital music lovers will love the system's ability to rip songs straight from a CD and store them on its internal 40GB hard disk Read more

Meizu miniPlayer review

Meizu's credit card sized MP3 player is slightly thicker than iPod's nano and boasts video playback, an FM tuner, games and a calendar. The device will play back MP3, MP2, OGG and WAV files, offering a plausible alternative to iPod zombiedom Read more

Sonic Gear i-Steroid review

The hearty, reassuring glow of valves was once a common sight inside electronic equipment and Sonic Gear has tapped into audio nostalgia with this single-valve amp. Its design is clearly inspired by the iPod, although you can use it with other players, and it produces a subjectively 'warm' sound Read more

Samsung YP-K5 (2GB) review

Famous on account of a YouTube video, in which someone drives a truck over it, the Samsung YP-K5 is a surprisingly resilient flash-based MP3 player. The K5 is instantly recognisable because of its built-in speakers, so it's the most plausible option if you want to share your taste in music with the rest of the bus Read more

Roberts Gemini 19 review

The Gemini 19 bedside DAB is a useful fellow who will appeal to anyone who needs a radio to wake them up with a daily dose of Brahms. Its Classic FM button is something of a cheek, but its reception is up to the usual DAB standard and its audio quality perfectly fine for drowsy mornings Read more

Datasafe oomi (2GB) review

The oomi battles hard for the title of the smallest MP3 player in the world, but is narrowly edged out by the new clip-on iPod Shuffle. Nonetheless, the oomi offers a small LCD screen, which the Shuffle does not, as well as protected WMA support, voice recording and an FM radio Read more

Roberts Rambler RD-76 review

Robert's DAB formula is an appealing one: take an old design from the catalogue, strip out the insides and replace the analogue circuitry with brand-new digital components. This continues with the RD-76, which is available in a rainbow of colours, and sounds perfectly acceptable for when you're doing the washing up Read more

Dualit DAB Kitchen Radio review

Dualit is hardly a posterboy for subtlety and, true to form, this DAB is a glittering muscle car of a radio. If you're familiar with Dualit toasters, you'll have an idea of what to expect. It's brash, ostentatious, obscenely heavy, durable and seriously macho Read more

Sony NW-E003 (1GB) review

The Sony NW-E003 is a shining example of what the company is capable of when it gets its act together. The E003 is a 1GB flash-based player with a delightful monochrome display and the kind of battery life that can be measured in geological eras Read more
