Reviews

  • Sony STRDA5300ES

    With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The SanDisk Sansa Clip is an incredible value MP3 player that's set to edge out the competition with a user-friendly interface, gym-worthy design, and great sound quality.

  • Sony NW-E003 Walkman

    The Sony NW-E003 is a compact, stylish flash MP3 player that those who can tolerate SonicStage should consider, but beware the unintuitive interface.

  • Sony NW-A806 Walkman

    Were it not for crazy pricing, the A806 would've walked it in for an Editors' Choice award. As it is, it's still a great nano competitor with sound Apple would kill for and video playback to boot.

  • Sony NW-A808 Walkman

    Were it not for crazy pricing, the A808 would've walked it in for an Editors' Choice award. As it is, it's still a great nano competitor with sound Apple would kill for and video playback to boot.

  • Sony STR-DA3200ES

    The Sony STR-DA3200ES packs in a lot of features for the money, and sound is top-notch, though the HDMI implementation may be a limiting factor.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-G1

    The Cyber-shot G1 is a fancy camera that throws in a few tricks that few cameras have included.

  • Sony Ericsson W950i

    Convergence? Yeah, Sony Ericsson's heard of it... This is an excellent MP3 phone let down by a clunky PDA interface and no camera.
