Apple iPod nano (5th gen, with video camera) review

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:55:01 +0000

The fifth-generation iPod nano is the best version yet, packing in plenty of features, including a video camera, while retaining the straightforward functionality that's a hallmark of Apple devices. It's not perfect, though, and owners of previous models will have little reason to upgrade, but it's a great device nonetheless

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

Samsung YP-P3 review

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 10:33:01 +0000

It's not a stretch to say the touchscreen YP-P3 is an audiophile's portable media player. It sounds stellar, packs an enormous amount of features into a compact package and boasts a gorgeous display. The user interface might take a while to get used to, but there's very little to complain about really

Samsung YP-S2 Pebble review

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 11:22:02 +0000

The easy-to-use YP-S2 Pebble doesn't just look like a very attractive, shiny skipping stone -- it also offers impressive audio quality, a number of useful features and a super-affordable price tag. Its battery life isn't fantastic, but, at this price, you can't really ask for more

Klipsch Custom 1 sound-isolating earphones review

Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:45:01 +0000

The Custom 1s are a great pair of entry-level sound-isolating earphones, as long as your music taste plays to their strengths. With a very balanced, flat tone, they're far more suited to unplugged music than electronica or heavy metal. You also get solid build quality for the price, although the fit takes a while to get used to

Cowon D2+ review

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:52:02 +0000

The D2+ is a great touchscreen MP3 player that's packed full of useful features and offers outstanding audio quality, thanks to its sound-enhancement settings. Users of its predecessor, the iAudio D2, won't notice a great deal of changes though, and the lack of AAC support is hard to justify

There's been wailing and gnashing of teeth on the Internet over the discovery of a chip in the new iPod shuffle that ties you into certain headphones. Here's why it's not the end of the world

Ears-on with the Atomic Floyd HiDefDrum earphones

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 12:00:02 +0000

Atomic Floyd's new HiDefDrum earphones obliterate the last pair of Floyds we heard, and they cost less as well. Dance fans should start queuing up now

Klipsch Image X5 earphones review

Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:52:02 +0000

Superbly compact, extremely comfortable and delivering excellent all-round audio quality, we prefer the sound-isolating X5s to their more costly X10 predecessors. Although rivals can offer even deeper bass, these are some of Klipsch's best earphones to date
