Reviews

  • Uniden BTSC1500

    It tries to pack a few too many features on to the one button, but otherwise the BTSC1500 makes for a good in-car companion.

  • Sony Ericsson HCB-105

    If you never plan to share it and will never use it in a loud vehicle, the HCB-105 is a good sounding, simple to use choice. Everyone else should look elsewhere.

  • Navman MY500XT

    Improved, but still deeply flawed. We'd suggest checking out the lesser fruit from the Navman tree first.

  • Philips DC350 iPod Dock

    The DC350 features a wide-range of connectivity options, but is far too expensive for the low quality sound it produces.

  • Bose SoundDock 10

    While it's expensive and isn't loaded with features, the Bose SoundDock 10 is classy looking and sounds excellent for a compact iPod/iPhone speaker.

  • Nokia BH-905

    In terms of audio quality and comfort, the Nokia BH-905 is certainly one of the best stereo Bluetooth headsets out there.

  • Apple iPod Touch (3rd generation, 32GB)

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

  • Canon Selphy CP780

    It's pinker than Princess Peach's tutu, but the CP780 is more than just the apple in Mario's eye, it's a dye-sublimation printer from Canon that can print 4x6-inch photos from a number of memory cards or directly connected to a camera or a computer.
