Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 2 headphones
The Ultimate Ears Metro.fi 2 earphones are a great value for the average listener who desires good sound quality with a balanced audio response, but the drab design and questionable fit could be an issue for some.
Altec Lansing im207 Orbit-MP3 Speaker
The Altec Lansing Orbit-MP3 is a great choice for any frequent flier, thanks to its travel-friendly design, low cost, and versatility--in the realm of portable speakers, this one's an excellent value.
Boston Acoustics Horizon Solo clock radio (mist/white)
The Boston Acoustics Horizon Solo is a heavy-duty clock radio, but its bare-bones feature set will have shoppers trading up to the iPod-enabled step-up model.
Ultrasone HFI-2200
Ultrasone's HFI-2200 headphones score well on every count: they're comfortable, well built, and sound great.
Creative Zen Mozaic (2GB, black)
The Creative Zen Mozaic offers great bang for your buck as far as MP3 players go: get super sound quality, a boatload of features, and a cool interface--all wrapped in a funky design at an ultralow price.
Kicker ZK500
The Kicker ZK500 Zune speaker system is both physically and sonically intimidating, but it doesn't come cheap.
Edirol R-09HR
If you want a high-quality audio recorder that fits in your pocket, the Edirol R-09HR can't be beat.
Yamaha Pocketrak 2G
The Yamaha Pocketrak 2G's design is ideal for stealth recordings, but its high price and scarce features make it hard to recommend over the competition.
Radius Atomic Strap Earbuds (silver)
The Radius Atomic Strap Earbuds are a solid option for 3G iPod Nano owners who like lots of bass and don't want to break the bank to get it. They're not the most versatile earphones, though.
Creative Zen X-Fi (8GB)
The Creative Zen X-Fi's plastic design leaves a little to be desired, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the player is an incredible value overall: for an extremely competitive price you get a boatload of features and great sound quality.
