Yamaha has released two new mini audio systems that support iPhones and iPods namely the MCR-140 and MCR-040. The Yamaha MCR-140 is able to playback music from an iPod wirelessly via Yamaha’s proprietary yAired standard. Meanwhile, the Yamaha MCR-040 doesn’t have this wireless feature. Available in orange, dark blue, light blue, white, red, dark green, brown, light gray, dark gray and pink, both mini audio systems feature a CD player, a front panel USB port, an FM radio, auxiliary audio jack inputs, and two 4-inch detachable drivers rated at 15W each. In addition, the Yamaha MCR-140 also supports an optional wireless subwoofer kit that provides better bass reproduction.

SONY’S LATEST WALKMAN sees the company entering the world of truly multifunctional portables. At its heart an MP3 player, an OLED screen complete with touch screen functionality for wireless internet browsing, plus video play back, noise-cancelling earphones and an FM radio, point towards a serious challanger for the multimedia portable crown.
New headphones a good idea
It’s fair to say we’re fairly non-plussed by the noise-cancelling aspect of the earphones, but thsi is largely as the comfortable, if deep-burrowing, earphones do a fine job of isolating outside noise already. Sonically they’re a little on the bright side and lack a bit of body, but switch to a pair of reference heardphones and this song sounds excellent.
Glass, the opening track on the new Bat For Lashes album, sounds suitably ethereal, an open delivery allowing plenty of toom for a detailed delivery. Martyn’s natural selection shows the sony capable of delivering dynamics and good bass depth without overall speed and agility suffering.
Sonically, the NWZ-X1060 is excellent – we think it will gives its direct rival the ipod touch serious run for its money-but the size of the screen and,more pertinently,the internet browsing experience lets the side down.. Price : NA
