Reviewed on May 2, 2007Although it's not a one-size-fits-all product, the Stanton T.90 turntable is a great tool for today's modern DJ--seamlessly bridging the worlds of analog and digital audio.TAGS:turntable, record, digital audio, WAV, WMA, card, MP3, CD, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on October 16, 2006The Sony MEX-BT5000 is packed with useful entertainment and communications features, although it suffers from some fiddly controls. Advanced Bluetooth audio streaming may be its star feature, but its built-in sound optimization for digital audio playback means that it is more than a one-trick pony.TAGS:joystick, stereo, digital audio, Bluetooth, Sony Corp., WMA, CD, MP3
Reviewed on April 24, 2007The made-for-iPod Alpine iDA-X001 is a useful interface for bringing a digital-music library on the road. We like its stylish design and breadth of functions, although its user interface falls behind that of the iPod itself.TAGS:Alpine, car stereo, Apple iPod, USB, radio, Bluetooth, connection, CD, music, MP3
Reviewed on June 6, 2007The impressive iLuv i199 provides a dizzying array of features--including iPod compatibility, CD player, AM/FM clock radio--you'll be hard-pressed to find on any other tabletop audio systems at this price.TAGS:iPod dock, Apple iPod, alarm, CD Player, Bluetooth, USB port, CD, radio, audio, WMA, LCD, USB, MP3, video
Reviewed on October 6, 2006The 2007 Audi A4 handles great and is a joy to drive. Audi offers a full range of optional cabin technology, such as navigation and Bluetooth, although some of it falls a little short.TAGS:Audi A4, navigation, destination, car, CD, MP3, speakers, LCD, Bluetooth, cell phone
Reviewed on April 30, 2007The JVC KD-BT-1 offers a hatful of features for its price. However, it can be tricky to master all the controls, and you'll need a seriously tricked-out phone to make the most of it.TAGS:JVC, Bluetooth, WMA, LCD, CD, MP3
Reviewed on December 7, 2006With plenty to wow us, there's very little we can find at fault with the 2007 Lexus LS 460L. It comes up to par with other luxury sedans in its class, then beats them all with a substantially lower price.TAGS:Lexus, car, ID3-Tag, speakers, hard drive, CD, MP3, database
Reviewed on June 5, 2008The 2008 Toyota 4Runner works as a solid and rugged SUV, but the attempt to tech it up with an integrated portable navigation device is a kludge. The idea isn't bad, though, and we would like to see the next version of this system.TAGS:TomTom, dashboard, touch screen, car, USB flash drive, CD, speakers, music, MP3, button
Reviewed on July 10, 2006With its wide selection of media source inputs, the Jensen VM9511TS is a high-water mark for aftermarket stereo head units. Its separate media module takes up a lot of space, and at $800, it's pricey for an off-the-shelf system. Still, it blows factory-installed options out of the water in terms of value.TAGS:Jensen, touch screen, AudioVox, Apple iPod, joystick, WMA, speakers, CD, MP3, MP3 player, connection, LCD, DVD, video
Reviewed on March 12, 2008The 2008 BMW 750i is a big sport luxury sedan that is, in many ways, everything we would expect from BMW, but it suffers from some older technology that needs an update.TAGS:BMW, wheel, task, CD, car, North America, MP3, entertainment
Reviewed on October 10, 2007Sony's CDX-GT420IP is an affordable means of taking your iPod library on the road. While its basic user interface lacks the search functionality of some other systems, this is a competitively priced and decent sounding entry-level stereo for the digital-audio age.TAGS:album, Apple iPod, Sony Corp., connectivity, display, artist, song, WMA, MP3, button, CD
Reviewed on April 20, 2007The 2007 Nissan Versa S is a car for those who are happy to get from A to B without GPS or MP3s. For better fuel economy and a more enjoyable all-around drive, we highly recommend the manual transmission.TAGS:transmission, gear, stereo, car, transportation, entertainment, CD, MP3
