    iRiver E200 8GB review Although its battery life is a little shorter than that of similarly priced players, the E200 is a classy portable audio and video player.

  • Creative Aurvana Air review Creative's high-end headphones sound crisp, but their powerful high notes can be uncomfortable at high volumes. The price is also more than a little painful.
