Reviews

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.
Logitech G330

The G330 may not sound great, but it's certainly one of the most comfortable headphones around.
Nokia BH-905

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.
Apple iPhone 3GS (32GB)

Palm Pre

With webOS, Palm goes past matching its competitors and offers something more. The Pre might not be a home run, but it is an indication of good things to come.
Onkyo TX-SR607

If you can overlook its poor analog video conversion, the Onkyo TX-SR607 offers up a ton of HDMI connectivity and excellent sound quality for a mid-range AV receiver.
AKG K 702

The AKG K 702 Open Back Dynamic Reference Headphones offer an ultra-comfortable way to enjoy sound that is remarkably more open than most sets; they're like personal speakers for your head.
