- Soundcast OutCast
- Soundcast Systems focuses its efforts on a very limited line of wireless audio products and it shows: the company consistently earns praise for its top-notch wireless sound quality. Competitive pricing, however, is not Soundcast's strong suit, and the OutCast is no exception. This $700 weatherproof, wireless speaker setup is definitely...

- 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT
- Photo gallery:2009 Pontiac Vibe GTWe found the economy car efficiency, the tight build quality, and the odd body style all appealing on the 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT. But once we started looking at the details, we realized it was a Toyota. The hard flooring in the cargo area and the...

- 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagon
- Photo gallery:2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagonThe small wagon, one of the most practical body styles, is back with the 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagon. The small wagon mostly gave way to the more sporty hatchbacks in the 1990s, but Volkswagen seems confident in the body style, launching the wagon version of its...

- Sony HT-CT100
- It's a familiar story in consumer electronics: start with a luxurious, expensive, and exclusive product category, and within just a few years, you'll see a sea of imitators delivering the same basic item with more features, less money, and--ideally--better performance. Take single-speaker audio. Once the exclusive domain of Yamaha Digital...

- Cooper Boone's fan-fueled music (no, not the kind with blades)
- Did you ever think about how much electricity a mega-concert uses to power all those woofers and tweeters, not to mention the jumbo-screens and pyrotechnics? Yes, a lot, no? So, I was inspired by this little item about Cooper Boone, a psychologist-cum-musician who...

- Panasonic SC-PT660
- Panasonic's 2008 home-theater-in-a-box line has three contenders in the sub-$500 range. At the top of the line is the SC-PT960, which includes wireless speakers in the rear, tallboy speakers up front, and is XM-ready. In the middle is the $400 SC-PT760; it loses the satellite radio compatibility, but retains...

- Panasonic SC-PT760
- Panasonic's 2008 home-theater-in-a-box line has three contenders in the sub-$500 range, and we think the midline SC-PT760 will be the most popular model of the group. It comes with a smooth running five-disc DVD changer, wireless surround speakers, an integrated, flipdown iPod dock, and upscales video over HDMI up...

- Creative GigaWorks T40 - PC multimedia speakers
- Creative offers an impressively wide range of PC, iPod, and multimedia speakers--at least 20, by our count. But we were drawn to the company's GigaWorks T40, a set of unusually tall (12.5 inches) stereo PC speakers that retail for less than $150. The slender but deep desktop speakers boast a...

- XtremeMac Tango X2 iPod speaker
- It takes a lot of effort to make a mark on the oversaturated iPod speaker market, and XtremeMac just isn't hitting it with the Tango X2. Don't get us wrong--this $150 shelf unit isn't bad, but it doesn't really have anything to distinguish it from competitors, and it's not really...

- Klipsch RoomGroove (iPod speaker system)
- At first glance, Klipsch's RoomGroove iPod speaker looks like just another iPod speaker. Sure, its clean lines and black cloth grille are a step up from the typical plastic boxes, but what makes the RoomGroove a bit more interesting is that you can link one RoomGroove to additional units in...

- Klipsch iGroove SXT
- As of early 2008, Klipsch offers two single-chassis iPod speaker systems: the RoomGroove, which offers compatibility with the company's wireless "KlipschCast" feature, and the iGroove SXT, its no-frills entry-level model. That said, the relatively affordable iGroove SXT doesn't look or feel cut-rate. As soon as we put our iPod...

- Altec Lansing T612
- Back in 2006, Altec Lansing released the M602 iPod Home Audio System. Billed as a "high-end home system," the M602 initially carried a $199 MSRP, but its price has since dropped to closer to $100. Now the company is offering the T612, which, aside from its darker color scheme,...

- Now that Netflix and Best Buy are in the Blu-ray camp and Toshiba is reportedly admitting defeat, you may be thinking about buying a Blu-ray player. I've been using a Blu-ray disk player and a half dozen Blu-ray movies for a couple of months. Is Blu-ray worth it? The short...

- Logitech Pure-Fi Elite
- When we reviewed the Logitech AudioStation speaker system for the iPod last year, we were generally impressed with both its design and performance, so we gave it high marks. Flash-forward to 2007, and Logitech has dumped the AudioStation name in lieu of its new Pure-Fi designation. But while the...
