Jabra Stone

While we love the style, portability, and feature set of the Jabra Stone, it does suffer from a few design and performance issues.

Nokia 5530 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is significantly cheaper than most other touchscreen handsets on the market. While it's nowhere near as slick as the iPhone or HTC Hero, we still reckon it offers a good user experience for the price.

Reviews

  • Jawbone Prime

    The Jawbone Prime's ability to filter out nearby sounds is astonishingly good. We suspect black magic is at work here.

  • Sennheiser PXC 310 headset

    Noise-cancelling headphones are a necessity for any frequent flyer, and if you have the money, the PXC 310 is an excellent example of what you'll need.

  • Philips SHL8800

    Despite the funky replaceable covers, a tight fit and overwhelming mid-bass mean the Philips SHL8800 aren't the best headphones for the money.

  • Navman MY500XT

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

  • Bose QuietComfort 15

    While they're no bargain, the Bose QuietComfort 15s currently offer the best sound and silencing capabilities in a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.

  • 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.

  • Bose Mobile In-Ear Headset

    The Bose mobile in-ear headset is a fantastic pair of headphones for people who love music, and for those who just have to sit close to them on the bus.

  • 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.

  • Bringing gigs home on your phone

    With most mobile phones now sporting cameras of 2-megapixel resolution or higher, concerts have become fair game for fans keen on capturing the experience for sharing with fellow band devotees. But is the resulting footage any good? We took a phone to a gig to find out.
