February 22, 2008, Newsletter Issue #48: Ipod Speakers: Some Great Choices

Tip of the Week

One of the highest rated choices for iPod speakers comes from the Apple team itself; the Apple iPod Hi-Fi system.  It is fully portable, packs a lot of power, and runs either off batteries or an AC adapter.  It includes both a traditional and optical connector for best sound quality, and is ranked well against the popular Bose speaker system, which is also a good choice.  The only complaint about this system is that it doesn't offer video pass-through. 

Bose is best known for its iPod speaker products today, and the Bose SoundDock Digital Media System won an Editors Choice award from PC magazine.  It has a wireless controller and is known for ear-splitting volume levels.  However, it is not compatible with earlier model iPods. 

Yet another good choice is the Klipsch iGroove HG set.  It runs at a lower price than Bose, but is rated somewhat lower in sound quality. It is more versatile in that it has an adapter for non-iPod MP3 players, but it also doesn't run on batteries. 

These speaker systems all run between $250 and $350 each, but much cheaper models can be found if sound quality is not an issue.
