Reviews

  • 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.

  • Philips GoGear Mix (4GB)

    The GoGear Mix is exactly what people are looking for in an MP3 player. It's easy to load with music, simple to operate and a pleasure to listen to.

  • Philips GoGear Aria (8GB)

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

  • 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.

    The slow interface probably kills what would have been an excellent player with decent format support and great sound quality.

  • Altec Lansing Orbit iM237

  • Virgin VMX

    The VMX is a phone with many shortcomings, but most of these are outweighed by the AU$99 price tag. For most people who just need the basics, the VMX will do the trick.

  • Bang & Olufsen A8 Earphones
