Sony SRS ZX1

Sony SRS D211

Advantages: Price, sound quality, looks, ease of use & set up
Disadvantages: speakers feel alittle too light for my liking but are very good none-the-less

I bought these from PC world to replace an older 2.1 yamaha set. The difference is amazing; the bass is deep and the higher notes are clear & crisp. I have tried it out with music ranging from Jay-Z to Mozart so far and I have been very impressed. £33 very well spent! My only concern is the satillites feel very light and plasticy... They sound good and feel quite well made but I like a heavy speaker but I guess thats neither here nor there. Setting the speakers up were straight forward, never even opened the instructions... The volume control is easy to use. And the subwoofer is a nice and chunky. Buy these if you want a good set of music speakers that can handle films and games (there are way better ones for those obviously...) But these will make any home audiophiles who havent won the lottery very happy indeed ...

Review of Sony SRS D211

A camera in your pocket..??? what ever next..??

Advantages: compact, easy to use, good quality and great results
Disadvantages: small internal memory, tricky little control buttons

actually was. I know I must have looked a little more confused than I meant to as he was soon explaining about how the camera works rather than what work he needed finishing off, but after a few minutes of what he called ?intense tuition? I was confident that the camera and I would soon be close friends indeed, a lot closer than the task he wanted me to complete would do. So, with the files under one arm and the camera in my jacket pocket I was away on a favour for a work colleague and a close friend, (one in the same person). ** Brief specifications for the Kodak Zx1 * 1.6Mp video camera * 3Mp still camera (JPEG) * 2 inch LCD screen * 2 x digital zoom * Automatic white balance exposure * MOV, AAC LC video file format support * Ni-MH rechargeable batteries (which are included) * 128 MB internal memory * SD/SDHC card ...

Review of Kodak Zx1

A good, cheap set of 5.1 surround sound speakers.

Advantages: Cheap, fair sound quality and build, good for gaming and films on PC
Disadvantages: Few flaws such as stand not standing up, problem with sub.

, could be better, but you can't expect that much from 2.5" drivers. The satellites are easy to mount to the wall, you just hook them onto screw. Drill a hole in the wall, put a wall mount in, pop a screw in, hook the speaker on and your done. The only problem I had was the wire length, they give you about 3m of wire, which is no where near enough, so I just brought a extension cable, you just need a 3.5mm extension. There aren't many features as such, quite a basic system. The control box has your power on/off switch, Volume, Bass, Rear and center controls on the front, and at the back, you have 3 X 3.5mm sockets for the 5.1, 6 channel input, and another single 3.5mm socket for a stereo input, and then a little switch to turn on "Dual Stereo". This is a useful feature, which puts stereo sound into 5.1 surround sound, which is useful ...
