You love you little iPod, and the fun of toting all your favorite tunes around for your listening pleasure in a device the size of a playing card. You love knowing that you can turn up the volume on your iPod to your heart's content with your headphones preventing anyone else from complaining about the sound.
But what you think would be even better is being able to forego the headphones from time to time, and use your iPod, with your customized selection of songs, like a regular CD or cassette player. Just tuck it in a corner somewhere, and have it fill a room with sound like an invisible choir. You wouldn't have to remove your headphones every time the phone rings, or you want to have a conversation. Sounds good, but is it too good to be true?
Not any more. Thanks to the soaring success of the iPod, both Apple and some heavy-duty audio speaker manufacturers have developed iPod speakers, which will give you an alternative to the standard in-you-ear intimacy of the iPod's headphones.
Apple's iPod HiFi
If you can picture a center-channel speaker from a home theater system, with an iPod dock on top, you'll have an idea of what the Apple IPod HiFi iPod speakers are all about. The Apple iPod HiFi portable, measuring 6.6 " high by 17 " wide X by 6.9" deep, and weighing 14.5 pounds without batteries or 16.7 pounds with six D batteries. And the Apple HiFi iPod Speaker is equipped with a remote, so you can control the music selection without having to mess with your iPod.
But if the thought of nearly seventeen pound iPod speakers does not appeal, by all means give the Altec Lansing inMotion iPod speakers a look. The inMotion iPod speakers will speak to the iPod enthusiast's heart, weighing in at a mere fifteen ounces--yes, ounces--and measuring, when folded up, 8" wide by 5.4 inches deep and 1.2 inches thick. And don't worry about the batteries adding a significant amount of weight; these iPod speakers will run for twenty-four hours straight on four AA batteries.
Uses For iPod Speakers
Either of these iPod speakers, or any of the several brands now available, can open your iPod use to any number of occasions, from party or outdoor outings to sharing audio books to letting you use your iPod to store and present information for school or job reports.
iPod speakers are the perfect solution to for those who are tired of keeping their great iPod listening experiences to themselves!
