Now that Sennheiser have finished aggressively stomping their competition into oblivion by producing superb headphone products in almost every category imaginable they are free to try some slightly more ambitious projects. First out of the door are the IE 6, IE 7, and IE 8, which have no relation to Internet Explorer. IE, here, stands [...]

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008If you’re a busy individual, or just don’t like reading reams of reviews then here’s our quick and dirty radio round-up to help you choose the right DAB/Internet radio for that special someone (yourself, obviously). This year we’ve got a reasonably good line-up of DAB, FM, Internet and Network aware radios from a handful of [...]
PURE Evoke Flow Review
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008A couple of months ago we started rounding up radios of all different shapes, sizes and types to conduct a little bit of a face-off between them and determine the best choices for your kitchen entertainment. My favourite has to be the Pure Evoke Flow if only because of its irrefutable gook looks, which are [...]
Roberts MP-43 Sound System Reviewed
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Another DAB capable offering from Roberts, the Roberts MP-43 made its way to the desks of Gadgetoid a few months ago and has since obtained a bigger brother in the form of the MP-53 which shares the same form factor and most of the same functionality including a handy iPod dock. This review, however, focusses [...]
Roberts SolarDAB Solar Powered DAB Radio
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Amongst the absolute wealth of DAB/Internet radios I’ve been looking at in the run up to Christmas, the Roberts SolarDAB still stands out as the most innovative and flexible, even though it’s a ridiculously simple concept. It is far from the best looking DAB radio I’ve ever clapped eyes upon, but it makes up for [...]

Sennheiser PXC 350 In-Flight Review
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Way back in February I took a look at the Sennheiser PXC 350 noise cancelling headphones and found them to be exceptionally good at blocking out unwanted office noises. I’ve since had the opportunity to try them one of their intended environments, two 12 hour flights to and from Mauritius, and have found them, once [...]
Edifier MP300 Plus Portable 2.1 Audio
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Stretching the term “portable” somewhat, Edifier have produced a zero compromise 2.1 portable audio solution that includes a discrete subwoofer and two satellites in a nifty little carry case. It’s all really rather pretty, with the 9w subwoofer made from brushed aluminium and two tasteful satellite speakers in a spherical design with metal weave speaker [...]
Sony Rolly Dancing Mp3 Player
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Whilst perusing a Sony store looking for an all-in-one computer suitable for wall mounting an enthusiastic attendant gave me a demonstration of the Sony Rolly. And it is hard not to be enthusiastic about the Rolly. It’s an interesting concept, a dancing Mp3 player, that moves fluidly and accurately in time with the music emitting [...]
Tangent Quattro MK2 Review
Monday, November 3rd, 2008I’ve been playing with the Tangent Quattro MK2 for the past few days and absolutely love it. It’s small, packs a serious sonic punch for its size and has classic good looks to boot. The one thing I don’t love is the FM Radio. It’s just a little bit too old school for me, and [...]
