Edifier MP300 Plus review

Fri, 03 Apr 2009 13:14:02 +0000

Composed of two ball-shaped satellite speakers and a tubular subwoofer, the MP300 Plus laptop speaker system has a funky, modern design and bears an affordable price tag. Most importantly, it sounds good, as long as you don't stray too far from your computer

The new iPod shuffle has no buttons and requires you use the cheap bundled headphones that come with it. Not impressed? Here are four must-see alternatives to consider

Apple iPod shuffle (3rd generation, 4GB) review

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 16:41:01 +0000

The third-generation iPod shuffle is the smallest MP3 player currently available, and only slightly larger than a paper clip. While its unobtrusive design feels sturdy and the voice feature that tells you what you're listening to is useful, quirky controls mean it won't be for everyone

Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus review

Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:31:01 +0000

Logitech's Pure-Fi Express Plus rolls in around £50 and is a simple, compact stereo speaker for iPods and iPhones. It has a built-in clock and alarm that can be used at home or taken on the road, as long as you're willing to splurge on a set of six AA batteries that power the unit when you cut the cord

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 14:51:02 +0000

We're happy to report that you can find the Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus for under £200, which is great considering it's a 'full HD', lightweight camcorder.

Philips SA2820 review

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:50:02 +0000

The Philips SA2820 is a strong competitor against the Apple iPod shuffle. With a crisp monochrome screen, voice recorder and 2GB capacity available for a low price, it's certainly attractive. The sound quality emphasises the bass line, making it great for fans of dance music
