MP3 Players

Cowon iAudio 7

I don't hate the player, and I'm certainly not disappointed with it. I just have a hard time recommending it, unless you know you're willing to spend time with a machine and learn h...

IRiver E100

iriver E100 MP3 Player

By Bradford Day

Despite their underdog status, iriver continues to impress with their ever expanding and evolving line of digital toys. I have generally been a fan of their various digital players and often refer...

Cheap! Impressive sound quality, Loaded with features, Quality screen and video playback, Good battery life,

Unintuitive interface, Poor button response, Dated, clunky design,

Logitech Squeezebox Duet Network Music System

This evolution of the Squeezebox should prove to be a winner for its new parent company. All the makings of a good sequel are there; extra goodies, unexpected surprises, a flashy new look and a sl...

Good looks, Small footprint, Component stereo's feel with an iPod's interface, Features and options galore, Wireless connectivity,

Somewhat steep learning curve, Won't play DRM-wrapped files, Overly sensitive scroll wheel,

Sandio 3D Game O2

Sandio 3D Game O' Mouse

By Anthony Fiti

Mice are a critical, yet lower cost component of your high performance PC. A cheap $9.99 mouse might not be able to get you very far in your quest to become the champion of your favorite game. Sand...

Innovative ideas, Could work well with 2D and 3D graphics applications, Wrist rest is detachable without tools,

Ergonomics (or lack thereof), Odd driver mechanics (separate program for the profile, manual profile activation), Heavier than most gaming mice,

It is an admirable goal - to create a mouse that allows one to make better use of fingers (and thumb) on the mouse hand, instead of just letting them sit there doing nothing

IRiver X20

I've been a fan of iriver products for a while now. Like many electronics companies they are primarily based overseas. As such, we in the States miss out on a handful of nifty little gadgets that...

Well priced and feature-packed player, Nice display, Good battery life, Easily removable and replaceable battery, Internal speakers,

Confusing menus, Limited availability in U.S.,

The iriver X20 is a great little player and is in keeping with the impressive feature set I've come to expect from this company. The display is top quality and battery life is more than sufficient. Music playback sounds good and iriver has included such n...

Creative Zen V Plus

Creative Zen V Plus

By Mark Korff

When compared to the iPod shuffle the Zen already has twice the capacity at a price that is nearly identical. We're not doing a head-to-head comparison between the two products, but it is interest...

This thing is tiny, More features per dollar than most other players, Music quality and FM reception, Good battery life,

Video isn't something you'll want to watch for hours! nor can you, There are better UI controls out there,

There isn't one big standout feature that makes the Zen V Plus a "must have"? product, but it does a lot of things that a lot of portable media players that cost over three times as much can't even do. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that I can't think...

Apple iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen&3rd Gen)

Apple iPod Shuffle 2G

By Mark Korff

In the crowded world of portable media players there's no bigger name than Apple who simply dominates the market with their various iPod offerings. Since we've already reviewed the iPod nano 2G an...

Most durable portable media player ever, Cheapest iPod you can buy (new), Extremely portable, you can clip it anywhere, Impressive battery life,

No display, and ALL that entails, Price isn't as competitive as it should be considering all the missing features,

Due to the simplicity of the shuffle's design, the most impressive features it can boast include its extremely small size, unmatched durability, and better than rated battery life. If you're the kind of person that constantly breaks or scratches the scree...

Microsoft Zune 1st generation

It's time to settle the debate. iPod or Zune? Did Microsoft kick the pod where it counts or is the mighty whitey still the king of the ring? Each player is loaded with features, flashy video capa...

By my count the final tally is 4 to 3 in favor of the iPod, with one tie. Not too shabby considering this is the first generation of Microsoft's Zune and the 5th of Apple's iPod. But, in the end, the king of the hill remains un-toppled

Apple iPod (Video) (5th Gen)

Apple iPod Video 5G

By Bradford Day

We chose to review the 30GB (as opposed to the 80GB version) as it is the direct competitor to the Microsoft Zune (not that the capacity will really make a difference in our review, aside from valu...

It shur is purty, maw, Solid player that is available everywhere, Excellent musical quality, Bright, high quality screen,

Screwy scroll wheel, Pricey iTunes store, Eye strain while watching movies, It's not an iPhone,

As much as I hate to admit it, I actually like using the iPod Video. As a diehard small market MP3 player user, it's hard for me to admit that. It's also difficult to nit pick a player that has been out for so long, has been redesigned and upgraded multip...

Microsoft Zune 1st generation

Microsoft Zune

By Bradford Day

After several weeks of daily use I've certainly formed more than one opinion about the Zune. Of course there are endless product reviews of the Zune available on the interweb. But with this revie...

Large, scratch resistant color screen, Good sound quality, Intuitive interface, Includes FM radio and video playback, I'm down with brown, baby,

Ridiculous Zune Marketplace points system, PlaysForSure doesn't PlayAtAll, Mediocre battery life, A bit heavy and clunky (compared to you-know-who's player),

I'll get straight to it! Should you buy a Zune? Well of course that decision will have to be based on several factors. I will approach this from 3 different scenarios. First, I'll start with myself, naturally. I'm the sort of MP3 user that will rarely, if...
