Altec Lansing inMotion Classic

The Altec Lansing inMotion Classic offers a stylish way to play your iPod or iPhone around your home. It sounds remarkable for its size, but it lacks the low-end oomph of a larger system.

Creative Sound Blaster Arena Surround

As an all-in-one sound system, the Arena Surround is a solid performer capable of engaging the user in a surround audio experience.

Reviews

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.
Sony PSP Go

We love its slimmer, sexier, more pocket-friendly shape, as well as its pause and restore anywhere feature, but the PSP Go doesn't quite add enough to the mix to justify its price tag.
Altec Lansing Mix iMT800

The design of Altec Lansing's Mix iMT800 may not appeal to everyone, but its winning combination of good performance, lots of oomph and portability makes it one of the best iPod speaker options out there.
Logitech G35 Surround Sound Headset

If you're looking for a good headset to complement your gaming, the Logitech G35s are excellent — but keep them in stereo mode, and leave the surround sound for speakers.
Razer Carcharias Gaming Headset

Gamers who want uber-flashy gaming headphones won't like the oddly named Carcharias, but those who don't want to glow in the dark will.
Sennheiser IE 8

This pair of sound-isolating earphones is one of our all-time favourites, with explosive bass that dance fans will adore.
Unison B-XT Bluetooth Speakers

A sharply designed portable speaker system with bass so domineering it spoiled most of the music we played through it.
Panasonic SC-PT865W

It's got a few weak points, but movie buffs with large DVD libraries will find this a great way to add surround sound to their home theatre set-ups — particularly if wireless rear speakers are a necessity.
