The best looking webcam ever?
3 November 2009 14:14 GMT
- The Good
- Looks good, mounting accessories
- The Bad
- Poor sound quality, no autofocus, dust on sensor
- Verdict
- You do get a lot in the box, with the various mounting options, but unfortunately the sound quality really let us down. If you are one of those sorts that doesn’t need the sound for whatever reason, you might still be tempted by its glorious looks alone

- Where the Sonos S5 succeeds is in its simplicity
- Price
- £345/$399
