Sony Walkman X-series (16GB) NWZ-X1050

Great sound, brilliant OLED touchscreen, noise cancellation and as much YouTube as your Wi-Fi can handle. Shame about the extortionate price.

MP3s for Mother's Day

Forget sneaking around in the kitchen in the early hours of Mother's Day trying to throw together a continental brunch for your dear mum. Wake her up with the sound of her favourite music, as heard via a new MP3 player, headphones or sound system.

Reviews

  • Sony Walkman X-series (32GB) NWZ-X1060

    After our preview, we're enchanted with the touchscreen Walkman, but fear that it will only appeal to a small minority of the MP3 player market, namely non-conformists and music aficionados with a burning touchscreen itch.

  • Cygnett GrooveZone headphones

    Mmm, shiny: Cygnett's gleaming noise-isolating headphones are a little flimsy but deliver solid audio.

  • Nokia 5700 XpressMusic

    Although it's not brimming with features, Nokia's twisty 5700 is a decent enough music phone, but its poor quality headphones and other minor flaws let it down.
