Sony
Blu-ray players
Sony BDP-S550
The Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player is an attractive deck with a tempting price tag – it's another Sony stunner
DVD recorders
Sony RDR-HXD995
This DVD recorder ticks all our boxes for spec and performance – and it has a gargantuan 250GB hard disk
Home cinema amplifiers
Sony STR-DA2400ES
Sony's STR-DA2400ES AV receiver was delayed while it was fixed to work with Sky+ HD, but the finished article was well worth the wait
Music servers/clients
Sony Gigajuke
On paper this wireless system seems close to multi-zone perfection, but it’s awkward and underperforming
Blu-ray players
Sony PlayStation3 (80GB)
The Sony Playstation 3 is still a capable machine, but some cheaper dedicated players offer superior performance
DVD recorders
Sony RDR-HXD890
This does everything we hope for from a DVD/HDD recorder and in fine style – no more than we've come to expect from Sony
Headphones
Sony DR-BT22iK
These Bluetooth wireless headphones from Sony really fail to impress with poor, sibilant sound.
Mobile phones
Sony Ericsson W980
A versatile, well-specified phone that will do a fine job for the majority of mobile users
