We have upgraded our CMS to WordPress, it was a bit rushed since we had to get off of a legacy install of Movable Type that had security exploits. Since is was rushed there are a lot of design elements and functionality that need to be fixed. So hang tight and we will be 100% shortly. In the mean time, if you want to help test the comment section, let me know what’s on your mind and comment below.

SanDisk Sansa Clip+
The Clip+ has a fantastic little form factor; somewhat cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straightforward. The features on the Clip are more or less average, however it supports the alternative Rockbox firmware which provides tons of additional options (gapless playback, Replaygain, playlists, Last.fm scrobbling, etc). Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

Cowon J3
The J3 is a fantastic PMP with a very nice AMOLED screen and tons of features. It sports Cowon's trademark BBE sound enhancements, and offers a customizable user interface with strong support by our user community. You can usually find it at Amazon for the best price - and don't forget to check out our review.

Microsoft Zune HD
Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune: sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of Editor’s Choice. You can check out our Zune HD review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest info and gossip.

Phonak Audéo PFE
Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.

Hippo VB
The Hippo VB (Variable Bass) offers a serious subwoofer for on the go, right in your head. They don’t just deliver generous quantities of punchy, textured bass, but good audio quality over the whole frequency range with decent clarity and exceptional soundstage. Exchangeable bass ports let you customize their sound to your liking. Read our in-depth Hippo VB review.
-
Soundmagic E10 / E30
The Soundmagic E10 and E30 are basically right in the middle between the Phonak PFE and Hippo VB - not too analytical sounding, not too bass heavy. The E10 provide a bit more bass, the E30 a bit more clarity. Both come with a very fair price tag considering the sound quality they deliver - a great choice for the audio aficionado on a budget. Read our E10 and E30 reviews for more info.

Gee another summer construction zone. There’s too many on the roads round here.
Regardless, if this comment comes thru, then I’ve got no problems with it.
Good luck with the update process….steve

awesome! gotta say i can’t wait and it was a brutal couple of days i went there without getting my PMP fix

I usually just keep up with you guys by RSS. But I recently noticed a shortage of updates, so I came on your site and saw this as the reason. If you could resume your WordPress-generated feed to the same feed address as before, I think you’ll have less risk of losing subscribers.
Grahm Skee on September 1, 2010 12:19 PM
@Andrew C – thanks for the heads up- i will fix it
Warofart on September 1, 2010 9:11 AM
Hope it’s all straightened out soon. Great site, has helped me decided numerous times.
