Audio manufacturer Phiaton wasn't happy with the choices, either, and their new Phiaton PS 20 BT Bluetooth Stereo Headset conquers the hurdles by combining style, ease of use, and great sound. We also looked at their MS 400 headphones, designed for travel with style. Read on for our full review!

When we attended the MacWorld 2000 Conference in New York one of the products that folks were buzzing about were at a booth that featured (the late lamented) Monsoon Planar speakers that were demonstrating a small translucent blue box called the SRS WOW Thing Box. SRS began in 1985 as a creation of Hughes Aircraft and stood for Sound Retrieval System, and since then it has become the heart of many audio products, often even without your knowledge. To see how the latest version of the technology measured up we looked at the latest version of the SRS iWOWPremium plug-in for iTunes and the SRS iWOW 3D Audio Adaptor for any Apple device that has a dock. The SRS iWOWPremium plug-in for iTunes and the iWOW 3D Audio Adaptor are Mac Edition Radio Audio Picks!
