Lets go through what might make you choose not to buy this system. The audio performance of the portable piece is not great on its own and the combined performance is not great value for price.
There has been a lack of versatility in this space and the Gear 4 Duo comes as a breath of fresh air. As a versatile speaker system for the iPod, it transforms to a mid sized desktop system from a slim portable speaker. The speaker system is not too big and this is an advantage. Tweeters and midrange sounds are great and bass is intentionally diminished.

Gear 4 Duo is great on control. Overall Gear 4 Duo is a good audio experience and if you want a $200 speaker system for the iPod, check it out.

A rubber box holds the 2G Shuffle comfortably, keeping it safe from the water. A pressure clasp is used for this purpose. You can dive underwater up to 12 feet and your shuffle will be safe. You have access to the power and/or shuffle mode switches. This one promises to keep the Shuffle dry as it comes from a company with extensive experience. The weight addition is small.

Included are many other items. You get 5 rubber tip sets. Moreover you get a carrying case for the parts. It is easy to use the shuffle when you own this H2O. Not only do the earphones do a great job of keeping the water out, they also do a good job of preserving the sound. This offering is a great one given the price.

This one works great with goggles and they are somewhat desirable. The iSH2 has a headband and lower audio quality. The H2O needs goggles for stability. That is the only little catch in the machine. A great deal for $80.

The design of the i-DS3 mirrors the industrial design of the iPod. The internal components are very smart. With a streamlined body and nice curves, you can choose between black and white in this speaker system.

The design has been changed to a four driver design with increased amplifier power and a 2.4 ghz wireless transmitter. You can set it so that home wireless phone and network interference is avoided.

There is also a remote which is based on infrared technology. The iDS3 is a worthy and impressive successor to the iDS2 in sound quality. You will enjoy the sound of this speaker system. The price of the Boston Acoustics i-DS3 is $499. Although the price is a turn off, the sound quality will turn on your acoustic senses should you choose to buy this system.

Nixon The Wire In-Ear Custom Earphones cost $90 and a good attempt has been made to make the big earphones more visually appealing. There is a combination microphone and single button remote control on the cord. The emphasis is more on treble in these earphones and less on bass.

It isn’t the best value for money. There are many $50 earphones that sound as good. The fit of the earphones could be better too. The mics are like other mics in iPhone ready headsets. It is slightly more natural than the other mics.

The premium on the headset is too high to justify its features. The main attraction of this headset is the design and cosmetic appeal. There are only two colors in this one, however – white and black.

These earphones are striking but the sound isn’t the best out there. If you want to look good, buy these. If you want to enjoy the music there are better offerings out there.

Now the iPhone can be powered for about two hours of talk time or 1.5 hours of internet use. A completely discharged iPod Nano 4G can be completely recharged. The first set of AAA’s will be provided by Griffin and you have to buy the rest.
Because it costs $30, this player is not so exciting. It is a better idea to buy more expensive battery recharge packs. If you are likely to be far away from battery chargers for a long period of time then maybe you can think of going for Tunejuice. It looks nice and feels nice but is not the most practical.

Because of power efficient designs, the Tunejuice is appealing. However the earlier Tunejuice which is $10 cheaper and similar in operation is more practical.

From the outside, the look and feel of all three Backbeat earphones is the same. Made of plastic and silicone rubber, these earphones look pretty in black and gold. The rubber tips are clear and the feel is solid. They look serious and convey professionalism. There is no mic or remote included with these models.
Backbeat classic, the least expensive is a little stubby and ill fitting. There is a lack of bass in these earphones. Backbeat Plus has better bass and a better design. The listening experience is not premium, though. Backbeat Titanium is the best of the lot. With a cool carrying case and an extra set of earbuds, this one fits very well in the ear.

The sound signature in the Backbeat Titanium is classy. It costs $80 – the same as Apple’s in ears with remote and mic. Low on functionality, we would still choose the Titanium because of its sound quality.

The C18 buds, although large are nice looking. They are made totally from black plastic. They are comfortable to the ear with soft touch rubber coats. Also included is the large zippered carrying case, headphone adapters – 2 as well as a mini lanyard.
When you run out of battery on the C18, you better be carrying a spare. The worst part of this pair of headphones is that canalphones are substantially better. Also you need to carry around a battery pack. One must not however that for the price, the C18 delivers excellent sound. Both lows and highs are well accentuated.

Although I wouldn’t recommend this pair of earphones very highly, the music does sound good with it, undoubtedly. Compared to the audio quality, the price isn’t too high. So it is a 50-50 if you want to buy it.

66 pounds heavy, this Jukebox Station with a Universal Dock for the iPod has an 80 watt stereo system with a CD player, FM radio, IR remote and av outputs that can connect to tv. The top is shielded by plastic and contains a universal iPod Dock. The iPod is safe inside coz there are keys that remain with you.Smaller than a typical jukebox and larger than the typical iPod speaker the main function of this Saffire Jukebox is to add ambience to the area it is placed in. The design of the Saffire Jukebox complete with an artificial turntable and everything is the highlight of this product.

The menu navigation and other integrated controls are built into the front of the unit. The FM Radio has classical styling and has separate controls for treble, bass, tuning, volume and input selection. This one costs $699 and you will want to buy it, if you do, for the looks and not the sound. Men are more apt to want this than women.

This is probably the best alternative in its class. A carry case comes with this package, and a headphone plug adapter. Thats not all, there is also a cleaning tool and a volume attenuating cable. There are many parts to store and that is a bother.

The canalphones aren’t exactly the same. The earphones nestle into the ears and don’t protude much. Although the earphones look inexpensive, they feel good. Westones cords are light. The sound it delivers is warm and light. If you like bass you will like the Westone 3. Definitely one of the best.

Some issues with this dock is that it doesn’t auto detect and plays from the iPod only after manually turning power on. Quality of sound is satisfactory and not more than that. Versatility is low. The iCarta from AFt costs $100.
Atech Flash Technology or AFT has been around for about two years. They usually come out with niche, interesting speaker concepts. The speaker drivers are moisture resistant.

Although the iPod sounds better than an FM radio, it is not as clear as the clearest of them. When turned aloud it sounds tinny.

A good buy if you really love your bathroom and spend a lot of time in it.
