iRiver B30

Idiosyncratic as hell, the iRiver B30 is a feature-complete player with sparkling sound, but it won't put a fire up the Cupertino boys.

Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

The GoGear Aria may be cheaper than a comparable iPod Nano, but it's leagues behind in terms of quality.

Reviews

Philips GoGear Vibe

The Philips GoGear Vibe isn't the best budget MP3 player we've seen, but its enviable colour screen, photo viewer and video playback make it one of the most well-rounded in the price range.
Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod Touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
Apple iPod Classic 160GB

The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life and intuitive user interface.
Cowon D2+

The Cowon D2+ is a sturdy little touchscreen MP3 player with flexible sound enhancement settings and useful features, but it hasn't changed much from the 2007 version.
Creative Aurvana Air

The Creative Aurvana Air is a beautiful looking and sounding set of headphones, but it's expensive and not suited to public transport.
iRiver T6

The iRiver T6 is a slender, sleek and well-made MP3 player, though it does lack an extensive feature set. For the casual listener or as a backup player, it's perfectly capable, but audiophiles may want to look elsewhere.
Cowon S9

The Cowon S9 is a sexy-looking gadget with exceptional audio and video quality, but its construction quality and user interface pale in comparison to the competition.
Sony Ericsson W595 Walkman

This is a solid phone, aside from its lack of a real headphone socket. But if you're expecting anything radically new, you might want to wait a little while for Sony Ericsson to start innovating before you upgrade.
