Philips SHE9850 sound-isolating earphones

An excellent all-rounder, with good detail, a balanced, warm sound and superb comfort and fit. Deeper bass and brighter treble exists in competing models, but for almost all genres of music and in most listening environments, the SHE9850s will impress and for a good price.

Sennheiser MM 50 for iPhone

Compared to the headphones bundled with Apple's iPhone 3G the MM 50s are light years ahead. Exceptional sounding bass and its affordable price tag make the MM 50 a great choice for replacing those dodgy Apple ear buds.

PLX Kiwi

While the PLX Kiwi is a good training tool to help motorists to drive more efficiently, it will not miraculously boost your fuel economy.

Creative TravelSound i50

The Creative TravelSound i50 is a fine choice for iPod Shuffle owners looking for a powerful portable speaker that integrates the player seamlessly, but there are better sounding options out there.

TiVo HD

Despite missing some key features, the TiVo HD is a worthwhile investment if you don't want to pay for cable, and it poses no ongoing EPG fees.

A few key gameplay additions and enhancements make this year's Madden great despite some unseemly flaws.

Klipsch Custom-3 earphones

The Custom-3 'phones are bursting with detail, warmth and power, but their design and fit won't suit everyone.

Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.

ASUS EeePC 1000H

The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.

Brother MFC-7440N

The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.

Toyota Tarago GLi (2006)

A people mover that transports all manner of cargo with ease. Pity that it's so pricey and that many of the valuable safety features are optional extras.

Olympus E-420

The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.

Nikon D700

Boasting many of the internal bits from the professional-spec (and professionally priced) D3, the D700 is an (almost) affordable full-frame dSLR. It faces up to the Canon 5D with a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 auto-focussing points, 5fps or 8fps shooting depending on battery and mini-HDMI out.

Klipsch Image sound-isolating earphones

The Images are easily the most comfortable earphones we've ever worn, and possibly the most comfortable in the world. But get ready to pony up some serious dosh.

Audio Technica ATH-ANC3 earphones

As noise-cancelling earphones the ANC3s are superb, with decent overall sound quality. They're not without their sonic slip-ups here and there, but casual listeners will find them very pleasant indeed.

Samsung M110

Like Crocodile Dundee, the M110 would be great in the bush but not so well-suited to city living. The M110 willl suit those who are bound to get the phone dirty, but its rugged exterior doesn't exactly protect a wealth of valuable technology

Sennheiser CX 95 sound-isolating earphones

Excellent sound-isolating 'phones, with brilliant overall sound quality and spot-on design and comfort. We can make only minor complaints about these lovely upgrades to your MP3 player

Denon AH-C751 sound-isolating earphones

Don't consider them a choice for your workouts, but for seriously impressive sound quality without being full-sized headphones, the AH-C751s are practically unrivalled.

HP Photosmart C8180

The C8180 multifunctional printer is an excellent choice for photo enthusiasts. It prints high-quality text and photos at a heavy price: the printer is slow. If you always choose quality over speed, the C8180 will be a worthwhile addition to your digital toolshed.
