Review Summary

The second-generation Apple iPod nano is like the successful offspring of an iPod mini and a first-generation iPod nano. It's small, stylish, user-friendly, and competitively priced--a great player all around and suitable for a variety of users.

On paper, the S-540 series looks almost similar to the E-440 series, albeit with a larger screen and a pair of speakers built into the back. We were impressed by how much volume the two tiny speakers could throw out, and thatÂ’s what makes the S-540 unique in its own way.

Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.

Monster's Turbine in-ear headphones looks, feels, and sounds like a much more expensive model.
