Popcorn Hour C-200 review

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:59:02 +0000

If you thought media streamers don't get better than the Popcorn Hour A-100 and A-110, the C-200 may make you revise your opinion. Offering a new design and even more features, including a slot for a Blu-ray drive, it's a great device that will be even better once a few bugs are ironed out

Razer Megalodon headset review

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 16:23:01 +0000

Hard-core gamers won't be disappointed by the Razer Megalodon PC gaming headset. Its 7.1-channel surround sound is fantastic and highly tweakable, and the headset's comfortable to wear for prolonged periods. It's fairly pricey but we reckon it's worth the investment

LG Viewty Smart GC900 review

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 09:27:02 +0000

The follow-up to the popular Viewty KU990, the touchscreen Viewty Smart GC900 packs an 8-megapixel camera into a slim package, sports a bright and clear screen, and offers a wealth of camera and editing options. But can this slip of a phone really snap a shot worth saving?

Shure SE115 review

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 12:55:02 +0000

The SE115 sound-isolating earphones are at the entry-level end of Shure's SE line, but still offer a comfortable fit and good sound quality. They don't provide a huge amount of detail, but they do deliver on the bass front, making them a solid choice for fans of reggae and hip-hop

Western Digital WD TV review

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:06:01 +0000

The WD TV is a really well-designed and well-executed little media streamer that manages to outshine devices that cost significantly more. With good codec support, an appealing user interface and excellent 1080p video playback, it's hard to dislike this machine

Panasonic SC-PT870 review

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 16:24:02 +0000

It doesn't look like anyone at Panasonic HQ had much fun designing the SC-PT870 but it's a good 5.1-channel home-cinema system nevertheless. Music played via the USB socket isn't much cop, but the system performs admirably otherwise, delivering particularly impressive sound with movies

LG HT33S review

Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:57:02 +0000

The HT33S is a very likeable 2.1-channel home-cinema system. It's rather scratch- and fingerprint-prone, and music isn't its forte, but it handles DVDs with considerable skill, making film soundtracks a pleasure to listen to and offering impressive picture quality

Asus W90 review

Mon, 18 May 2009 16:23:01 +0000

Asus might not be the first name you think of when it comes to gaming laptops, but it has just sent us the fastest portable 3D graphics-pusher we've ever seen. With 6GB of RAM, a Blu-ray drive and a huge 18.4-inch screen, it?s an astonishing performer

Onkyo TX-SR607 review

Tue, 05 May 2009 14:52:02 +0000

Home-cinema enthusiasts should be well pleased with the easy-to-use and funky-looking TX-SR607. It's a truly smashing AV receiver that offers plenty of useful features at a reasonable price. Most importantly, it offers fantastic sound quality, producing bass that'll make your teeth chatter

Pioneer LX01BD review

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:53:01 +0000

If you can afford it, the LX01BD Blu-ray player with surround-sound speaker system will prove well worth your cash. Disc load times are excruciatingly slow but it's a beautiful and cleverly designed package that offers fantastic picture and sound quality, with great audio-codec support
