Reviews

Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones

The original and still the best, the Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones sound good and look great, but if you're looking for an exciting result these aren't for you.
Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB

The Creative Zen X-Fi 8GB is the same as the 16GB and 32GB versions of the player except it lacks Wi-Fi capability.
Creative TravelSound i50

The Creative TravelSound i50 is a fine choice for iPod Shuffle owners looking for a powerful portable speaker that integrates the player seamlessly, but there are better sounding options out there.
Creative TravelSound i80 for iPod Nano

The Creative TravelSound i80 speaker is a solid option for third-generation iPod Nano owners who value portability and integration over top-notch sound quality.
Creative GigaWorks HD50 speakers

A decent, good-looking choice for occasional use, but the HD50s don't do justice to DVDs and bass-heavy music.
Creative GigaWorks T40 Speakers

The Creative GigaWorks T40 is a good choice for those looking for larger than average size and sound in their PC speakers.
Creative Zen Stone Plus with Speaker

The built-in speaker may have few real-life applications, but it makes room for a more capacious battery, and it takes nothing away. For that reason, and because of its tiny price, great feature set and FM radio, we think it's top notch.
Creative Aurvana Live headphones

These headphones are designed with the idea that you may want to listen from analog as well as digital sources. They're everyman's cans, delivering solid sound quality across all genres of music.
