Editors` rating:

4.3 Poor

Average user rating:

6.7 Fair (from 12 users)

The good:

Sounds awesome; modern spaceshiplike design will appeal to some; included earbuds sound great and are comfortable.

The bad:

Extremely expensive; horribly confusing user interface; cannot play DRM-protected WMAs; no LCD; no features of any kind; no internal memory.

What`s it for:

Listening to incredible-sounding digital music through a personal headset or a full stereo setup.

Who`s it for:

Audiophiles and gadget hounds with deep pockets and an advanced knack for technology.

Essential extras:

Lots of money.

The bottom line:

The BeoSound 2 sounds absolutely superb, but there`s nothing else to justify its sky-high price tag.
