Virgin Mobile Broadband WiFi modem

This WiFi modem/router works well and provides great value on some plans, but we're still left wanting better performance out of Virgin Mobile's actual broadband.
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is a cut-down version of the company's premium iPod dock but boasts even more features.
Jabra M5390 USB

Jabra's business-centric Bluetooth headset might be pitched at the boardroom, but it made us feel like we were stuck in a call centre.

Optus E1762 USB Modem

The hardware performs its part of the equation just fine, but if you're considering Optus' wireless broadband make sure you take advantage of its seven-day trial period.

The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
Cambridge Audio DacMagic

The Cambridge Audio DacMagic is an excellent musical upgrade for CD players and DVD players alike, and could improve your PC sound as well.
Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear USB

The Lehmann Audio Black Cube Linear USB is a one-stop shop: it's a headphone amplifier with an onboard USB DAC. And it sounds amazing.
