Editors' rating: 8.0, excellent

The good: The Plantronics Voyager 520 is a very comfortable and lightweight Bluetooth headset with excellent call quality. It's also quite affordable.

The bad: The Plantronics Voyager 520 looks a tad dull, and its volume toggle was a little tricky to use.

The bottom line: The Plantronics Voyager 520 Bluetooth headset has a comfortable fit, easy-to-use controls and solid performance, all at a good price.

Vudu

It has its share of issues and caveats, but the easy-to-use Vudu may well be the closest thing to a video store in a box that we've seen to date.

Editors' rating: 7.7, very good

The good: Set-top box that plays Internet-delivered movies on your TV; solid movie selection includes major Hollywood studio titles in the same week they hit DVD; no monthly fees; very good video and audio quality; no waiting - movies start immediately; excellent onscreen interface and scroll-wheel remote; simple setup and configuration.

The bad: Can't stream media from networked PCs; can't transfer movies to portable devices for on-the-go viewing; no built-in Wi-Fi; rentals limited to 24-hour viewing period; impressive selection of titles still pales compared to the tens of thousands available from Netflix and Blockbuster; won't work with infrared universal remotes.

The bottom line: Steering clear of many of the pitfalls that sapped past video-on-demand broadband solutions, Vudu delivers the closest thing to "Netflix in a box" that we've seen to date.
