Photos: Top-rated reviews of the week

Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.

Klipsch Image S4i earphones with mic

Editors' rating: 4.5 out of 5

The good: The Klipsch Image S4i earphones offer exceptional sound quality for the money. They're also very comfortable, and the package includes a few handy extras such as a storage box and cleaning tool. Plus, there's a call answer button, mic, and iPod playback controls integrated into the cord.

The bad: The cable of the Image S4i earphones is pretty thin and tangle-prone, and the included eartips may not work for everyone.

The bottom line: The Klipsch Image S4i earphones offer up sound quality on par with and better than sets that cost many times as much, and they include compelling extras for iPhone and iPod users.

Motorola Droid (Verizon Wireless)

Editors' rating: 4 out of 5

The good: The Motorola Droid boasts a gorgeous display and the benefits of Android 2.0, including a faster Web browser, Google Maps Navigation app, and better messaging and contact management. It also offers excellent call quality and improved speed over previous Android devices.

The bad: The QWERTY keyboard feels flat and the dialpad control is restricted to the home screen. Music and video capabilities still trail behind the competition. Dual-mode functionality for world-roaming capabilities would have been a nice addition.

The bottom line: Some minor design issues and multimedia quibbles aside, the Motorola Droid is the most powerful and fastest Google Android device to date. It fully embraces the openness of the Android platform and offers Verizon customers a smartphone that certainly rivals the other touch-screen devices on the market. It is set for a November 6 release.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 (with 14mm-45mm lens)

Editors' rating: 4 out of 5

The good: Excellent photo quality and performance for its class; comfortable, streamlined design; interchangeable lenses.

The bad: EVF costs extra; can't use EVF and hot-shoe flash simultaneously.

The bottom line: The best interchangeable-lens compact we've seen thus far, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 delivers great photo quality and performance in an enthusiast-friendly shooting experience. Like competitors, however, the lack of an optical viewfinder limits its usability for photographing action.

Samsung Blue Earth (unlocked)

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: The Samsung Blue Earth has a stylish design and a functional midrange feature set. Green fans will appreciate the solar panels that charge the phone.

The bad: The Samsung Blue Earth's small display feels rather crowded. It lacks a full keyboard and call quality isn't top-notch.

The bottom line: With its eco-friendly design and spiffy solar panels, the Samsung Blue Earth is more than just a gimmick; it's also an appealing cell phone with character.

HP LP3065 30-inch monitor

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: The HP LP3065's performance is great. It has fantastic color reproduction, high brightness, and a wide viewing angle. Also, it includes screen height adjustment and rotation.

The bad: The HP LP3065 has an expensive price tag and includes no video adjustment options aside from brightness. Also, for such a large monitor, HP's warranty is lackluster.

The bottom line: The HP LP3065 has stellar performance, but its lack of adjustment features and connection options makes its high price difficult to swallow.

Onkyo HT-S7200

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: 7.1 home theater system; excellent sound quality on music and movies; component-grade AV receiver included; five HDMI inputs; iPod dock included; onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio; can upconvert analog video sources to 1080i resolution.

The bad: Speakers are relatively large and boxy; video quality of upconverted analog video is mediocre.

The bottom line: While its bulky design isn't for everyone, you'd be hard-pressed to find a more full-featured and better sounding all-in-one 7.1 home theater system for the price than the Onkyo HT-S7200.

Vizio VF551XVT

Editors' rating: 3.5 out of 5

The good: Inexpensive for a local dimming LED-based LCD; can produce extremely deep black levels; less blooming than many local dimming models; relatively accurate color; solid dejudder processing; plenty of connectivity with five HDMI and one PC input; energy efficient.

The bad: Backlight fluctuates with program content; below-average shadow detail; fewer picture controls than some high-end HDTVs; ho-hum styling.

The bottom line: Sure, it has a few flaws, but nothing fatal prevents the local dimming, LED-backlit Vizio VF551XVT from exhibiting excellent LCD picture quality for the buck.
