Sonos Bundle 150

We've covered movies and games, but how about a little music? If you're after a cool bundle of kit that'll send your music collection around the home without wires, there's little faulting the Sonos Bundle 150.

Consisting of the ZonePlayer 120, ZonePlayer 90 and Controller, it promises "an unmatched music experience in the home" and it's a great way to free your music collection from the confines of your PC. There are, of course, cheaper solutions, but few that provide the sense of class and sophistication available from Sonos' high-end gear.

Logitech Harmony One

Here it is, again, the Logitech Harmony One. We saw it at CES back in January and then at CeBIT in March. Each time, we've come away impressed and can't help but want one.

Armed with a 2.2in touch screen, this universal remote hopes to replace all your existing remotes with one stylish solution. It's the finishing touches we like most, though, including the built-in motion sensor that ensures the remote lights up when you lift it from your table.
