Dolby Pro Logic

Reviews The analogue version of surround sound for home video, Dolby Pro Logic splits a regular stereo signal into front and back components and then usually puts a slight delay on the rear speakers to create an illusion of 3D audio depth.

What kind of MP3 user am I?

Reviews You listen to your stereo at home and to your computer at work, but filling your commute with tunes requires a portable player. Audiophile stereo systems often cost £5,000 or more and include pro-level components connected with gold-plated cables.

Samsung YP-P2 review

Reviews Although built-in stereo Bluetooth allows, say, joggers and gym fanatics to use wireless earphones, a jogger will have a hard time navigation menus blindly, thanks to the lack of physical navigational buttons.

Gear4 Duo review

Reviews Not true for Gear4's Duo, though -- this two-part iPod speaker system is designed to work both as a single 2.1 unit, or snapped in half and used as a portable pair of battery-powered stereo speakers. Yes, the audiophiles will scoff at the Duo's...

Griffin Evolve review

Reviews At its heart is an iPod speaker system, but with the ability to detach the stereo speakers as and when you please, it's potentially the dream setup for anyone who hates staying in the same place for any length of time.

Sonos ZP80 review

Eclipse TD 307PA review

Reviews They are also supplied with a stereo amplifier and high-grade speaker wire. To really take advantage of the 307s you may want to add a sub, but even without this, the listening experience has good definition and a discernible stereo image.
