What mother doesn't have way too much stuff in her purse already? Don't clutter it up more with a bulky device; check out the ultratiny, great-sounding iRiver S10. If your mom or one of her friends or relatives has suffered from breast cancer (an all-too-likely possibility), consider picking up a pink Zen V Plus, Creative's endorsement of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Is your mom on the fitness track? Sennheiser's MX 75 Sport headphones offer a secure fit to help her motivate with music. Then we have the JVC HA-NCX77 Noise Canceling Earbuds, which are supercomfy and, need I repeat, noise canceling. Finally, we have some neat portable speakers for the iPod-owning mamas: the Altec Lansing iM600 speaker system includes an FM radio and folds flat for easy storage, and the inMotion iM7 is perfect for family outings.

| The Bottom Line | The undeniably cute iRiver S10 sounds great and is packed with features, but its lofty price tag and paltry battery life might be a deterrent for some users. | The Creative Zen V Plus is a superb choice for anyone looking for a compact and feature-filled flash MP3 player with great sound quality. If you're looking for a more sophisticated design (or have large thumbs), look elsewhere. | Workout enthusiasts with a penchant for bright green will be happy with these highly stable, excellent-sounding in-ear headphones. | The JVC HA-NCX77 Noise Canceling Earbuds inspire little complaint. Good sound quality, useful extras, and a relatively low price point make them a fine option for commuters and frequent fliers. | Altec Lansing has been in the iPod speaker market longer than anyone, and it shows. The inclusion of a rechargeable battery and an FM radio makes the iM600 incredibly versatile. | The Altec Lansing iM7 offers good sound quality, flexible listening options, and handy features, making it a solid choice for any iPod owner in the market for a complementary sound system. |
