ipod speakers

booforty · 03-24-2009, 04:47 AM

Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a good set of ipod speakers that has the following characteristics:

- Fits my 3 year old nano
- Recharges the ipod when plugged in to the mains
- Has rechargeable batteries so it can be played whilst portable (outside)
- Good sound quality

I would appreciate any recommendations

Morning mate.
I got the Apple iPod Hi Fi from Selfridges a few years back.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-ipodhi.../dp/B000ETZ9SK

The sounds is really good, works well outside and it easily fills a decent sized room with full sound, the bass is deep and punchy. To my ears it sounds much better than the Bose dock.
It plugs into the wall or uses 4 "D" batteries if I remember correctly, and you can control it with one of Apple's little white remotes.

It comes with a selection of dock adapters so you will be able to find one for your iPod and it does charge it whilst playing your tunes.

Have a look at one if you can. Hope this helps pal.

apart from batteries the Klipsch I bought blows everyone's socks off... literally !

I had two to give as presents to family members this christmas who had heard mine and really wanted one.

I guess you'll need to compromise if you need battery power too ?

Thanks

Portability is important for holidays, barbeques etc so ideally I want something compact and light

The Apple thing isnt that compact or light but I did take it to Jamaica with me last year!

The first Sound dock I bought for my first iPod was the First generation Bose one.

This has now been updated to include a portable version

That will take some beating.

Had I not invested in a B&W zepellin as my main dock I'd still be using my Bose today - is a great bit of kit (but it's now pulling duty in the kitchen).

i bought my daughter a bose sound dock 3 years ago and its sound rocks. the new updated version is better as it has rechargable batteries.

my sister has the Zeppalin...... that IS one mother of a good looking piece of equipment..... but i think it does not meet your requirements.
