Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 review

The Sony Walkman NWZ-E453 isn't quite as slick or good-looking as its iPod rivals, but its simplicity, affordability and portability make it a worthy competitor none the less. Overall, it's a winner. Read more

iRiver Clix 2 review

The Clix 2 -- officially called Clix 2nd Generation -- is the younger brother to the hugely successful and highly rated Clix, and it's so attractive, it actually looks slightly edible. It also offers a huge range of features, beautiful video playback and sumptuous sound -- a winner all round Read more

The Sony Walkman NWZ-A846 is a great audio player with a useful noise-cancellation feature and a brilliant OLED screen. It's expensive, but it's definitely worth a look. Read more

Sony NWZ-E436F Walkman review

It can't be avoided: any new MP3 player is in direct competition with the Apple iPod, and manufacturers are well aware of this fact. The Sony E-Series Walkman is just as easy to use as the iPod nano, offers a similar array of features and delivers great sound quality -- but costs less Read more

Philips GoGear Opus review

The GoGear Opus manages to stand out from the crowd of iPod nano rivals by offering some impressive extra features, such as support for the BBC's iPlayer and the ability to record FM radio. The screen isn't great, but sound quality is good and it's a decent media player overall 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

iRiver U10 (1GB) review

Small and stylish, the U10 is packed with features -- it plays music, photos, video and text -- but it's rather expensive, and video is fairly pointless with such a small screen and flash memory Read more
