Archos 604 review

The Archos 604 is the replacement for Archos' well-loved AV 500. It can play videos, play music and display photos, all of which can be stored on its 30GB hard drive. It is compatible with a wide range of popular file formats in all three media -- but you'll need to connect it to a computer in order to move files over Read more

Arcam DiVA DT-91 review

Arcam has a fiercely earned reputation for high-end stereo equipment aimed at those who would happily describe themselves as audiophiles. The DT-91 is a well-built separates unit with both analogue and digital audio outputs, and if you can cope with DAB's low bit rate, is an option well worth considering Read more

Shure SE535 review

The SE535s are the best sound-isolating earphones we've ever heard, but one glimpse of their price tag may cause your wallet to spontaneously combust. If you're an audiophile, you should check them out, since they may well help you to discover sounds in your songs that you never knew were there Read more

Sony's players never fail to win style points, and we're definitely impressed by the classy look of the new Walkman NWZ-A829 music and video player. It blows us away with its stellar audio performance and vivid, bright screen quality, making it one of our favourites Read more

Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet review

The Archos 5 Internet Media Tablet offers outstanding video performance and great Web capabilities, with the Opera Web browser pre-installed and support for Adobe Flash content included too.

Sonos Play 5 review

If we could, we'd fill our houses with stunning Sonos hardware. The only problem would be figuring out how to pay for it all. The Sonos Play 5 is a fantastic home audio system and one we rate very highly indeed. Read more

Cowon's Q5W could be Holy Grail of media players -- or more specifically, video players.

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB) review

Though it's not as small as the new iPod, and its interface doesn't trump the Clickwheel, the 30GB Zen Vision:M is a real video player -- while on the iPod, video remains a novelty. It's slightly more expensive than Apple's world-conqueror, but the improved screen and number of video formats available more than make up for it 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
