On paper at least, the Orbitsound T12 v2 soundbar is an ideal compromise for those who want booming sound for their home entertainment in cramped digs. Surround sound may bring movies to life, but it can’t half clutter up your living room. Enter the soundbar – a single unit that houses an array of drivers designed to replace the need for multiple speakers. The Orbitsound T12 v2 doesn’t try to recreate the five-channel sound though, instead blasting the stereo sound of your iPod or TV into overdrive. But is this a soundbar of gold? Find out in our Orbitsound T12 v2 review.
The Vodafone Mobile WiFi dongle has hit the UK, just weeks after Three’s own second gen mobile WiFi hotspot was unleashed.

Read on to find out if it is in this part of our Vodafone 845 review.
When looking for a budget phone like the Vodafone 845, you have to adjust your expectations a bit, yet on paper, its software sounds just as good as that powering top-end phones like the HTC Desire. Is it? Find out in our Vodafone 845 review.
