Briefly: [Review Special] iAudio X5, Paradigm Cinema 110 CT 5.1 Speaker System, Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 Studio, Nano Lanyard Headphones
- Review: iAudio X5 (20GB) (rating: 8/10; assuming you don’t go for its video capabilities, it’s a great player with top-notch sound quality, solid build construction and support for a wide range of audio formats, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC included; the reviewer also mentions lack of support for subscription services as a con, but as we’ve noted two weeks ago, it’s coming—you can get the 30GB version for $305 on Amazon, go for it)
- Review: Paradigm Cinema 110 CT 5.1 Speaker System (“If you are on a budget, need a compact 5.1 speaker system and want quality home theater sound, you owe it to yourself to audition the Paradigm CinemaTM 110 CT v.3 speaker system.”; with a subwoofer that rocks, this goes for $799) [via]
- Review: Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 Studio (rating: 4/5; these single-driver, in-ear headphones are comfortable and efficient, but a bit lacking in the bass department—which is seconded in pocketnow’s review; these come in black and white, and via]
- Review: Apple iPod nano Lanyard Headphones (rating: B-; they’re nothing special, and way pricey at $39; of course, you can always do your own)
