MP3 fans will either love or hate the Cowon D2+ design, a player squarely aimed at the iPod crowd - but with more multimedia options that most Apple offerings for the same price.

Washable, rugged headphones perfect for sports and work-outs, these just might be the perfect addition to your mp3 player.

Would you pay more for headphones than your Mp3 player? You might, if you had a pair of these to hear your favourite tunes through.

A broad array of features, but this PMP feels like it’s being left behind

There are more iPod nano challengers on the market than we’d care to mention, but not many put up too much of a fight, except this one.

Unashamedly aspirational, the Zeppelin has enough sonic talent to justify its price tag

It gets the second-most important aspect of its performance – wireless music – spot on. The most important aspect is a little less successful

The usual Bose feel-good glow and (mostly) great sound too – but at a price

Fine-sounding valve amplification, with an iPod twist

Lots of positives here, but a few minor negatives, too

Looks and sounds like it should cost more – if you’re after a powerful yet easy-listening budget dock, try this one

A forward-thinking system which can deliver superb sounds from digital music

Bold design, with a big sound, but one that doesn't really thrill

A very fine, cheap travel speaker

A deserving Award-winner: great sound from a small, travel-friendly speaker system

Portable and solid-sounding, it's a great iPod dock for the money

The wireless feature is a neat touch, but the iBall's core function – sounding good – just isn’t there

If the idea appeals, give it a go: it’s fun in a rather unusual beige box

Very good, but it needs a price cut

If the lack of a display or hold button don’t bother you, this is a superb player
