The Pinnacle SoundBridge Radio provides a pleasurable listening experience straight out of the box. However, setup difficulties and a lack of audio outputs makes it hard to justify the outlay required for this product when other players in the market offer the same features at a lower price.

If you’d like a CD jukebox and only have 25 CDs in your collection, buy this one. Otherwise, you could do better.

An inexpensive digital PVR, the OpenTel lacks anything to really knock your socks off.

At $769, the Samsung BD-P1400 remains among the least expensive Blu-ray disc players available. But other models can offer better value.
