Reviews

  • TDK iVibe

    If you can find a place for the iVibe in your home then you'll be happy with the sound it produces, especially if you overlook its various shortcomings.

  • Sony Dream Machine (ICF-CL75iP)

    We have a few nitpicks and grumblings, but overall the Dream Machine is a happy marriage between the alarm clock, iPod dock and digital photo frame.

  • EOS Wireless multi-room iPod dock

    Given its price and average sound, the EOS only makes sense if you absolutely need to stream music from one room to another.

  • Gigabyte Booktop M1022M

    The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.

  • Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini

    The Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini is a cut-down version of the company's premium iPod dock but boasts even more features.

  • Cygnett Maestro Portable Speaker System for iPhone & iPod

    The Maestro does a lot of things right for its AU$189.95 asking price. It produces good sound and is cross-compatible with a range of iPods and iPhones, but it's also light on exciting features.

  • 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.

  • Fake iPod Nano (4th generation)

    If it wasn't for the glitchy software and sub-standard battery life, the fake iPod Nano might have been almost as good as the real thing.

  • Best FM transmitters for the car

    Not all iPod FM transmitters are created equal — some have dodgy cradles that fling your iPod around the cabin, others roll over at the first sign of interference. We pick three of the best, so you have your tunes everywhere you drive.

  • Best tiny MP3 players

    When it comes to tiny MP3 players, flash chip-based players are where it's at. We choose some of the tiniest, cutest models on the market.

  • Perfectly calibrate your LCD TV
