If you want ultrafast networking – or are worried about the ‘risks’ of wifi – then Belkin’s Gigabit Powerline kit is just the ticket.

Morphie juice pack air for iPhone

The Morphie juice pack air cleanly vaults over the iPhone’s one major failing: it’s pitiful battery life. You’re lucky to get a day and a half’s use out of the iPhone 3G (or even the latest 3G S, for that matter). Morphie comes the rescue with an all-in-one battery extender and hard case.

Roberts solarDAB radio

This solar powered digital radio from Roberts is a little gem. It sounds wonderful and can power itself entirely from the sun – perfect if you’re an eco-nut like Newsmonster or just like the idea of a radio powered by free electricity.

Sennheiser CX 400

Apple’s various iPods are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are capable of producing wonderful sound quality but end up sounding like a bee trapped in a jar because of the dreadful earphones they come bundled with.

If you’re a casual user who loves music and doesn’t want to be a mugger’s target then the Sennheiser CX400 is hard to beat. At around £40 they are dramatically better than Apple’s originals and won’t break the bank.

In short: A worthy upgrade for all iPods and iPhones.

Denon AH-C751 Earphones

In a word “Amazing”. There’s no other way of describing these Denon earphones. They produce wonderful sound, are built to last and look pretty cool too.

Newsmonster tested these earphones over a couple of months so that we could pick up on those niggling little faults that only show up after a lot of heavy use. These earphones are one of the few things we’ve tested which didn’t seem to have any faults at all. We dropped them too often, trod on them and used them in the pouring rain. Nothing seemed to phaze ‘em. They’re as tough as old boots (probably because they’re made of chunks of machined aluminium) and sound wonderful too.

Tread laptop case review

There's not much to say about Tread laptop cases other than they're wickedly cool and do the job brilliantly. Made from recycled Colombian truck tyres, the cases should last a lifetime. They're far tougher and better looking than your tyical leather laptop case and infinitely more environmentally and animal friendly too.

Moixa USB Rechargeable Batteries

Once in a while a truly great new take on an old idea is born......

Plantronics Voyager 520 review

There’s nothing very funny, profound or interesting to say about Bluetooth headsets, is there? Most of them are terrible, fall out of your ear and have appalling sound quality. The Plantronics Voyager 520 is a little gem, however.....
