			<title>Logitech X-540 Speakers</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10973/Logitech-X540-Speakers/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Chances are that you know someone who has a nice computer but uses terrible speakers. You know, those cheap stereo speakers that come free with a purchase or you buy for $15 as an afterthought. Similarly, you probably know even more people who listen to their digital music through the speakers on their laptop. Some of these people don't care about their sound quality, others don't have the room for a speaker system, but too many of them simply think that they can't afford quality sound. Logitech is trying to change all of this with their X-540 speakers. This kit retails for $99 but packs in...]]></description>

			<title>NeoDigits Helios X5000 Network Media Player</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10969/NeoDigits-Helios-X5000-Network-Media-Player/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The NeoDigits X5000 DVD player outsmarts the competition by adding media streaming capabilities through either WiFi or Ethernet. That's right, this DVD player will not only play your favorite DVDs,  but it will also wirelessly connect to your home PCto play movies and music through your home theater. Now this is not really something new in theory, there have been other DVD players that do this (KiSS, Gateway), but the NeoDigits X5000 has some features that differentiate it from the others; audiophile circuitry. The X5000 has a sticker price of just $599.]]></description>

			<title>Blank DVD Media Guide</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10948/Blank-DVD-Media-Guide/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Not all media is good. In fact, with the high influx of cheap media from Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, I'd venture to say most media is bad. This review guide is meant to shed some light on who manufactures and brands good and not so good quality DVD media. 

Use this list as an assistant when selecting what media to buy and use. It shows what generally works as the best media. Individual results may very, depending on the burner and how the media chooses to cooperate, though typically not by much. Read the advanced topics guide after becoming familiar with the basics presented on this pag...]]></description>

			<title>neodigits H4000 1080p Upscaling DVD Player</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10878/neodigits-H4000-1080p-Upscaling-DVD-Player/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[So you have a HDTV, but nothing to connect the HDMI port to? How about getting an upscaling DVD player that uses all available lines on your fine HDTV. Most upscaling DVD players do 720p. The neodigits Helios H4000 is even able to upscale to full high definition resolution (1080p). I had some doubts about the benefits of upscaling before reviewing the H4000. I was pleasantly surprised that it really makes a difference.]]></description>

			<title>X-Micro F610 Music Video Player</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10877/XMicro-F610-Music-Video-Player/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Ipod has taken over the market as the biggest mp3 player. Iriver and some smaller companies are trying to keep up and X-Micro is one of them. We got a sample of their latest creation named F610 which is a combined video and music player. With a extremely small design and light weight they have been able to combine these two players into one. It looks good but does it also work good? How good of a battery time can we get with this? How is the sound quality? Those are just a few questions we hope to answer in this review for you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What I can say is that this monitor represents decent value for money and will offer an opportunity to lots of gamers to join the widescreen revolution. If you're thinking about making the step up, but are limited by a budget, then I strongly advise giving this monitor a look - a strong performer in real world testing for a very reasonable price.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It seems that Altec Lansing is finally making a comeback when it comes to desktop audio outside of the OEM sets they manufacture for Dell. Their latest product, the FX5051 boldly stands out spec and design-wise from the typical Creative and Logitech sets we're accustomed to seeing, and one-ups the whole market by being the first 5.1 channel speaker system to incorporate a USB input! On to the review...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you are in the market for a modestly sized widescreen computer monitor, then ASUS has you covered. It's hard to denote the PW201 as a "computer" monitor though, as it's fully capable of handling your game consoles and cable TV. The functionality doesn't end there though.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Before I opened the box I was hoping that SteelSound fixed everything and released a product that is worth the money of our readership and I am happy that I can say that time has come. It might have taken three tries, but it certainly wasn't three strike, you're out. Every conceivable problem with the previous versions have been attended to and fixed. The sound quality is no longer muddled, the microphone works perfectly and the ventilation has been improved.]]></description>

Today we are taking a look at a pair of headphones that break the norm in their design. Is it worth it, and if so, how do they perform?]]></description>

			<title>Altec Lansing FX4021 Speakers</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/news/10713/Altec-Lansing-FX4021-Speakers/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Altec Lansing is a company that quickly comes to mind when discussing good audio systems at a reasonable price. Currently, I use a 5.1 Altec Lansing setup on my work computer and 2.1 on the benchmarking computer. Needless to say, their speaker sets have always fit my budget, and provide quality sound that I am looking for. Last month, they announced the release of the FX4021 and FX5051, the latter being a USB based 5.1 setup.

When you are looking at your cool 5.1 sound system, you may wonder why anyone in their right mind would stick to a 2.1 set. For me, I have everything in a single ro...]]></description>

While there are other quality players on the market that offer the same capabilities, most have a free version with the CD burning and other essentials stripped- you have to buy the "premium version" to have these features enabled.]]></description>
