Headphones can only take you so far. When you’re ready to crank the dial and rock out, you need real speakers. Fortunately, iPod owners have an array of unique docks and speaker systems that will pump out high-quality audio as soon as you pop your iPod in. Here are a few of our favorites.
Love or hate the brand, Bose’ SoundDock 10 offers sound from a tiny box comparable to a much larger stereo system.
Now that you have a laptop bag to protect your precious portable computer from damage, it’s time to grab a few laptop accessories. From wireless mice and external hard drivers to speakers and keyboard lights, these goodies will turn your feeble laptop into a fully customized portable workstation in no time.
Never have your portable mouse around when you need it? Logitech’s V550 clips right to the top of your notebook with a sturdy button, ensuring it’s always an arm’s reach away.
Sometimes good things come in pairs…and sometimes they just double up. Accessory and peripheral maker iHome has introduced its new iP88 iPod/iPhone alarm clock/radio, which not only offers two separate alarms, but also sports two separate iPod docks so users can charge up and access audio on two separate iPod/iPhone decides. The iP88 aims at folks who find themselves using both an iPhone and an iPod, as well as at Apple-carrying carrying couples who have a pair of devices between them—it has a distinctively boxy look, but that may be just the thing for tucking onto a nightstand or into a bookshelf.
There really isn’t much portability when it comes to most portable speaker systems out there. A majority of them equate to shrunken down computer speakers loaded up with AA batteries, which you would be lucky to fit in a backpack, much less your pocket. iHome’s new iHM77BC capsule speakers manage to break that mold with a neat trick though – they collapse.
Like an accordion, the dome-shaped speakers expand out to nearly double in size using a flexible center baffle. Just hook them up via a standard 3.5mm jack, pop them open, and you have an instant tabletop stereo for an MP3 player, notebook, or other audio source.
