Denon DN-S3500 review
It's not Christmas, but it might as well be for DJs -- this CD-playing deck system authentically mimicks the qualities of analogue, vinyl-playing decks. The days of lugging tonnes of vinyl to a gig are over. Blindfold a DJ and bring him in, we don't think he'll be able to tell the difference Read more

Samsung YP-T8 review
The 1GB, flash-based Samsung YP-T8 can't boast the small dimensions of the iPod Shuffle, but then the Shuffle doesn't reveal what it's playing. In contrast, the YP-T8 features a 41mm colour screen, and -- impressively for such a small device -- will even play video Read more

Sony Network Walkman NW-E507 (1GB) review
Decked out in gold and silver livery, the NW-E507 is royalty's MP3 player of choice. While the graphic designer or musician carries an iPod, the Arabian Prince or Maharaja will only be seen with a Sony player. It glitters like a polished gold bar dipped in translucent plastic Read more

Sonos Digital Music System review
The Sonos Digital Music System streams music and Internet radio from your home computers to any number of wireless amplifiers and speakers. Set-up time is almost non-existent and the audio quality is nothing short of remarkable -- this is a very, very slick way to beam music around your home Read more

Arcam solo review
Mini systems are often considered the hi-fi choice of dilettantes, but the Arcam solo, which integrates a 100W amplifier, CD player, FM and DAB radio, seeks to change that. The system borrows its components from other tried and tested Arcam models, such as the DT-91 -- an impressive heritage that explains why the unit sound so good 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

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

Creative Zen Sleek review
Unlike many MP3 players trying to steal some reflected glory from the iPod, the Zen Sleek syncs easily with PCs and looks lovely. An overly complicated navigation system, which occasionally produces annoying pop-up menus, marrs the overall effect Read more

Yamaha CRX-M170 review
A mini system that will capably replace your existing hi-fi system in one fell swoop, the CRX-M170 integrates a 50W stereo amplifer with subwoofer output, a DAB radio and a CD player into a single unit -- we were surprised by what this fairly compact unit can deliver 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
