Kensington FM Transmitter/Auto Charger for iPod (White)
This Kensington FM transmitter/auto charger transmits your iPod tunes through your car stereo while simultaneously charging its battery, making it a versatile two-in-one bargain. The unit includes such features as red and green LED indicators that signal the transmitting and charging states, phase-lock-loop technology that easily connects with one of eight FM channel options, and ClearFM technology, which provides crisp highs, deep lows, and up to 50 dB of stereo separation. Adding to the topnotch sound quality is Kensington's patented Aerielle wireless technology, which ensures premium sound with far less background hiss than other FM transmitters. And even though the transmitter/charger is designed for the car, the transmitter portion also works inside the home, with a range of up to 15 feet. Compatible with any iPod with a dock connector--including the iPod nano 1G, iPod nano 2G, iPod mini, iPod 3G, iPod 4G (Click Wheel), iPod color, and iPod 5G/5.5G Video--the Kensington FM transmitter/charger is backed by a five-year warranty.

XtremeMac AirPlay FM Transmitter for iPod and iPod Mini
AirPlay is the first and only iPod-powered FM Transmitter that works across the full FM frequency band without the need to install software. Allowing iPod users to broadcast audio wirelessly from their iPod through any FM radio, AirPlay is perfect for use in automobiles, especially those without a cassette player or auxiliary input jack.
AirPlay matches iPod's ease-of-use. Plug it in, tune it, and push play. AirPlay is smaller, simpler, and better than any iPod FM Transmitter ever made.
AirPlay features an easy-to-read illuminated digital frequency display, which turns off automatically after tuning to conserve iPod battery power. When iPod begins to play, AirPlay automatically transmits on the last used radio frequency. Because of its energy efficient design, when the iPod is not playing, the Airplay automatically powers off. With Airplay, there is no need to navigate menus in the iPod. Selecting a new frequency is easy, simply find an unused FM frequency on the radio, then press AirPlay's tuning buttons to quickly select the new frequency.
AirPlay is a marvel of miniaturization, packing more features and better performance into a smaller package than any other FM transmitter. It is so compact that it does not block the iPod's hold switch. AirPlay is designed to work universally with all iPods with Dock Connector and Click Wheel iPods, including iPod photo, iPod U2 Special Edition, iPod from HP, as well as iPod mini.
Features
- No Software Required
- Freely tune any station from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz
- Simple - Just plug AirPlay into your iPod, and press Play

iHome iH5 Clock Radio for iPod (White)
With its built-in docking station and clean, contemporary design, the iHome iH5 clock radio is the perfect complement for your Apple iPod digital music player. Not only does the iH5 let you listen to your iPod music free from cumbersome headphones, it also lets you fall asleep or wake to music you've loaded into your iPod. You can also wake or sleep to FM/AM radio or wake to a traditional buzzer.
The compact unit measures roughly 9 x 3 x 6 inches (W x H x D) yet comes complete with stereo speakers, drift-free digital FM/AM radio tuning, a multifunction LCD with adjustable backlighting, and the ability to charge your docking iPod's battery right from its center seat. (The iH5 includes handy inserts to accommodate any type of docking iPod: gen 3, gen 4, iPod mini, or iPod photo.)
Immediately upon plugging it in and the clock will set itself, drawing on its factory-installed 100-year calendar (year/month/day, 2000 to 2099). The clock will maintain accuracy all on its own, even self-adjusting for Daylight Savings time and leap years.
Fall asleep to your favorite station or a carefully chosen iPod playlist using the unit's programmable sleep timer (15 to 120 minutes in 15-minute increments). Gradual Wake and Gradual Sleep features will increase (with on wake-up) or decrease (on sleep) the system volume so as not to startle you. Adjustable sleep volume lets you select a comfortable "sleep" volume level without affecting the wake-to or listening volume levels.
A supplied analog audio interconnect affords hookups with non-docking iPods, other MP3 players, cassette players, or other audio devices. Other features include automatic frequency control (AFC) for enhanced FM reception, an amber backlight on all primary buttons, and optical knobs for precise volume/tuning.
For extra security, if you've selected iPod as your wake-to source and your iPod isn't docked, a buzzer will sound instead. The clock also comes with Sure Alarm battery backup--just install 2 AA batteries to activate the feature. In the event of a power failure, or if you disconnect the AC power cord to move it, the Sure Alarm system will maintain your clock and alarm setting for the life of the batteries, ensuring that the alarm will sound at the set time.
The iH5 is "Made for iPod"-certified by Apple.

Griffin iTrip Mini FM Transmitter for iPod Mini
The iPod mini has helped revolutionize the way people store and listen to music, but it's not particularly car-friendly. Unless your car stereo includes a cassette deck (increasingly rare) or an auxiliary input (more common among newer stereos) combined with the appropriate adapter, you simply haven't had the means to play your extensive iPod library through your car's speakers. Several companies, however, have sought to fill this void by releasing a product called an FM transmitter, which broadcasts iPod tunes via the FM airwaves. Griffin Technology is among the category leaders with its iTrip mini, a discreet little device that fits unobtrusively on top of the iPod mini. The iTrip mini isn't confined to car stereos--it plays on almost any FM radio--but because most home stereos and boomboxes have auxiliary inputs, it's most popular as a car accessory.
Design and Setup
The iPod mini is loaded with impressive features, but it's also an Apple product, which means that looks matter. A lot. And Griffin clearly recognizes this, because the iTrip mini is sleek and complementary. It's built to fit into the iPod mini's headphone and remote ports, from where its all-white body looks like an extension of the mini itself. Plus, the device measures less than an inch tall and exactly as wide as the mini, so it takes up almost no extra space--an important feature to people who value the mini's portability. The iTrip mini also works when plugged into full-sized iPods with dock connectors, but it doesn't fit as well shape-wise. Owners of full-sized iPods can buy alternate iTrips designed with their players in mind, including iTrips for 1G and 2G FireWire iPods, 3G and 4G iPods with dock connectors, and special-edition black iPods.
Features and Performance
The iTrip mini performs best when tuned to an FM frequency that plays nothing but static, with no audible words or music. Finding a good frequency is fairly easy, but it requires your full attention, so it's best to do so while parked. We tested the iTrip mini on three separate frequencies in a midsize market with varying success. The sound was generally good in two of the frequencies, less so in the third. This remained true whether the device sat next to the radio, in the backseat, or under a stack of newspapers. While driving through bad FM reception areas, the iTrip mini received a bit of static, but it usually passed in a couple of seconds.
The iTrip mini is designed more for convenience than elite audio performance, so listeners shouldn't expect CD-quality sound. When tuned to a clear frequency, it's about on par with the average FM station. If the volume is turned high, users might notice a slight hiss through the speakers, but engine hum and road noise will generally cover that up. However, listeners who value top-quality sound--especially people with expensive speaker systems that pick up every minor flaw--may instead want to add an auxiliary input to their car stereos to get the most from their iPod minis.
The main drawbacks to the iTrip mini are fairly minor, but will bother some users. First, the iTrip Stations playlist is stored as part of your overall music library, meaning the individual audio files can emerge during shuffle play--and the sound isn't pleasant. Listeners can remedy this by creating a new playlist with their entire music libraries minus the iTrip Stations files. Second, the iTrip mini draws its power from the iPod mini battery. This is actually both a plus and a minus, as it means you don't need to keep buying new AAA batteries every week, but you also won't receive as much power from each iPod charge. If this bothers you, consider purchasing an auto charger, which powers your iPod mini through the cigarette lighter adapter while you drive. Third, the iTrip mini isn't great for long road trips through crowded regions, because the available FM frequencies may change every 40 or so miles (or less), making it necessary to frequently retune the iTrip mini. On the flip side, it's great for long drives through the country.
Ultimately, the iTrip mini is a good value. The convenience will please iPod fans that have been clamoring for a way to play their music in the car. Audiophiles may want to look elsewhere, but most other listeners should be satisfied. --Rivers Janssen
Pros
- Makes iPod music library accessible to anyone with an FM radio
- Sleek design fits iPod mini perfectly
- Simple, easy-to-follow controls using mini's click wheel
- Sound quality is solid, though not terrific
Cons
- Sometimes requires frequent retuning to find best FM frequency
- Hard to find good frequency in crowded urban areas
- iTrip audio files emit unpleasant noise when chosen for shuffle play, though problem is fixable
Griffin Technology PowerPod Firewire Auto Charger for iPod
Music fans love to take their iPods on the road, but the road offers one major problem--no charging outlets. Enter the Griffin PowerPod auto charger, which plugs into your car's cigarette lighter to provide a consistent power source. The charger powers the iPod whether it's playing music or in standby mode, so users don't have to suffer through any charging downtime. It's also intended to complement the iPod's sleek, modern design, with a dimpled white and grey body. The PowerPod comes with a 4-foot FireWire cable that connects to your iPod's dock connector for charging. Owners of the original 1G and 2G iPods can instead connect the default FireWire cables that came with their models.
Features and Performance
iPod owners will warm up to the PowerPod in a manner of seconds. It's ready to use right out of the box--just plug in the FireWire cable and start charging. A small red LED light indicates when the unit is working, as does the iPod's charging icon in the upper right corner. During testing, the PowerPod refreshed about an hour's worth of playtime in a few minutes while music was playing. Owners of other iPod auto accessories such as FM transmitters--which draw their power from the iPod's battery--will find the PowerPod particularly valuable, as it keeps their iPods juiced up over long road trips.
Simple and efficient, the PowerPod is a must for iPod-equipped road trippers. --Rivers Janssen
Pros
- Charges iPods during road trips
- Works in standby mode or while playing music
- Compatible with original 1G and 2G iPods and newer iPods with dock connectors

Griffin Technology 4020-TALK iTalk Voice Recorder for iPod
In its bid to make the iPod the handiest device on the planet (right up there with the Swiss Army knife), Griffin created the iTalk voice recorder, a combination microphone/speaker that attaches to your iPod's headphone and remote outputs. Griffin suggests using the iTalk for any number of tasks, from recording personal memos and interviews to archiving class lectures to listening to an audiobook on the speaker without wearing your headphones. And because the iPod offers such a large storage capacity, iTalk users can literally record thousands of hours of voice audio without running out of memory, making the device far more convenient than a portable cassette recorder.
Design and Setup
Griffin has been designing Apple accessories since 1992, so it's no stranger to the sleek styling encouraged by Steve Jobs and crew. And the iTalk--with its smooth, white housing and slick, silver-colored speaker--fits in perfectly. It also pays tribute to the Apple ethos by requiring no setup: just plug it in and start recording (the recording functions appear automatically on the iPod screen). Once the device is connected, a user relies on the click wheel to record, pause, play, save, and delete files. The iPod then stores the files in a Voice Memos folder within the Extras menu. Each time you sync your iPod to iTunes, the files transfer into an iTunes playlist also called Voice Memos, where you can listen to them on your computer or transfer them to other multimedia programs (they're saved as WAV files).
The iTalk includes a couple of features that help it stand out above competitors' products. The first is an automatic gain control, which instinctively adjusts the signal level to achieve the best possible recording. The second is a multifunction pass-through jack located on top of the unit. This lets users plug their headphones directly into the iTalk rather than removing the device to access the iPod's headphone output. Users can also connect an external microphone to the iTalk to enjoy additional recording options. In addition, the iTalk archives the date and time of the recording--a plus for people working on date-specific material.
Features and Performance
At its best, the iTalk performs solidly. The recordings are clear and easy to decipher, and the microphone picks up sounds from all over the room. We tested the iTalk's microphone at distances of a few inches, a foot, 5 feet, and 20 feet, and each time it performed admirably. It also picks up TV speakers and some ambient noise, depending on the situation. Playback quality is mixed, however. It's decent through the built-in speaker when played at high volumes (the sound can be somewhat scratchy), but very good through the headphones. Anybody using the iPod to transcribe recordings should definitely use the latter, as the audio is much crisper.
Unfortunately, the iTalk isn't always at its best. For unknown reasons, it often fails to play recordings it just made through the built-in speaker. The files play for a few seconds, and then the menu inexplicably returns to the recording screen. Occasionally, you can play the file by trying again, but other times the file stubbornly refuses to open. The same files often played just fine through the headphones, indicating that the problem originates in the speaker rather than the microphone. However, anyone using the iTalk for important recording tasks--something more than archiving grocery lists, say--should test the iTalk thoroughly to verify that the files are recording properly. Users should also be aware that the iTalk doesn't actually start recording until three or four seconds after the light turns on, which is somewhat aggravating at first, although you adjust quickly.
The problems with the built-in speaker extended to other forms of playback as well. Griffin touted the iTalk as a great way to listen to audiobooks without headphones, but it refused to play Jon Stewart's America (the Audiobook). Many users have complained that the iTalk often locks up their iPods, especially if the iTalk is installed when the iPod turns on. We suffered through a single lockup, which required a quick reset, but didn't experience the problems described by other users. It's possible that the latest iPod software updates have resolved the freezing issues, but the glitch appears at least common enough to mention.
The iTalk is a mixed bag overall. The concept is terrific, and when Griffin releases the next generation of iTalk, it'll likely be a great buy. But in the meantime, users should proceed with caution. If you can afford to re-record your memos on the occasions that playback fails--or if you can test the microphone to make sure the speaker is the only source of the problem--the iTalk can be quite handy. However, if reliability is a major concern, such as when recording one-time lectures or interviews or archiving song ideas, iPod owners might want to take a pass. --Rivers Janssen
Pros
- Recording quality is quite good
- Sleek, attractive design complements iPod perfectly
- Pass-through jack lets user connect headphones or external mic
Cons
- Playback often fails through built-in speaker
- Many iPod owners have experienced lockups when iTalk is connected
- 3- or 4-second delay before recording starts

Griffin Technology 4039-EJAM EarJam Earbud Sound Enhancing Covers
The distinctive white ear buds that come with 3G and 4G iPods meet the audio needs of many listeners, but some don't like the fit, and still others think the buds' sound is too tinny and weak. Griffin addresses these concerns with its EarJams, a pair of snap-on plastic ear funnels designed to boost and improve the iPod's audio performance. The Jams attach directly to the ear buds and use their cone shape to focus the sound within the ear. The Jams also come with three pairs of soft rubber ear pads--large, medium, and small, depending on the size of your ear canal--and a protective carrying case. It's important to note that the EarJams don't fit the buds that came with 1G and 2G iPods.
EarJams come with included carrying case to protect your spare earpads and your Earbuds. |
Every music fan has a different opinion on what constitutes quality sound. To some, it's expressive, clear high ranges, while others prefer big, booming bass. If you consider yourself a bass believer, the EarJams are right up your alley. The funnels create much deeper tones, turning formerly bright-sounding songs into thumping affairs. The Jams also boost the volume by around 15 to 25 percent, pleasing listeners who think the traditional iPod ear buds are too slight.
The real question, though, is whether this bass monsoon actually improves the music. And the answer, again, is in the ear of the beholder. There's no question that the Jams sacrifice the high- and mid-range frequencies to improve the low-end performance. A once crisp-sounding acoustic guitar sounds a bit muddled through the Jams, while vocals that formerly soared end up stooping instead. On the other hand, the Jams can also take a flat-sounding hip-hop track and give it some serious punch. Listeners may be best served by using the EarJams on an album-by-album basis, as some songs are clearly improved by the added wallop, while others just create a thud.
One huge area of improvement is the way the EarJams fit within the ears. Once listeners determine which ear pads fit the best, the Jams nestle securely within the ear canals and won't come out until pulled. Contrast that with the default ear buds, which sit loosely in the ear and can easily tumble out while jogging or walking, or even during a quick turn of the head. The pads are also washable in case they get a bit waxy.
A final bonus comes in the form of the zippered carrying case, which holds the ear buds, EarJams, and all of the pads in its padded pouch. The main compartment opens to reveal two mesh pockets and a third zippered pocket. --Rivers Janssen
Pros
- Significantly boosts the bass performance of your iPod
- Increases volume output of ear buds
- Multiple sizes of ear pads ensure comfortable, secure fit
- Handy carrying case protects buds and EarJams
Cons
- High- and mid-range frequencies don't sound as good
Two snap-on EarJams, two small ear pads, two medium-sized ear pads, two large ear pads, padded carrying case.
Product Description
Griffin EarJams revolutionize the iPod earbud by providing a more custom fit to your ears. The result is greater comfort, improved sound isolation from external noise, superior sound quality and volume. EarJams easily snap onto your Apple earbuds. Each set of EarJams comes with three sizes of earpads to give you a snug and comfortable fit.

Apple M9867LL/A iPod Hi-Fi Home Stereo
Fill your home with sound, not stereo components. Keep your music collection at your fingertips, not in countless CD cases. Change the way you experience digital music. iPod Hi-Fi delivers crystal-clear, audiophile-quality sound in a clean, compact design. Hear, hear.
Where did the stereo go?
Just slide your iPod(1) into the built-in Universal Dock to turn on and tune in to digital music as you've never heard it before. From pumping bass to bright treble, iPod Hi-Fi delivers natural, room-filling sound. Close your eyes and you'd think you were listening to a huge stack of speakers. But iPod Hi-Fi measures just 17.0" x 6.6" x 6.9."
Virtuoso performance
As versatile as it is compact, iPod Hi-Fi incorporates thoughtful touches that make playing your music pure pleasure. Use the included Apple Remote to control music playback from anywhere in the room. Charge your iPod through the iPod Hi-Fi dock while you play music. Or take your show on the road courtesy of D-cell battery(2) power. All that makes iPod Hi-Fi pretty extraordinary. Just like iPod.
Rock-solid enclosure
The innovative design of iPod Hi-Fi transforms consumer-grade materials into the ideal enclosure for high-fidelity sound. The high-end sound of iPod Hi-Fi pours out of a double-walled plastic shell redesigned for maximum stiffness to prevent vibration and resonance--two major causes of sonic imperfection. And airtight sealing allows voluminous, unobstructed sound, effectively preventing buzzing and clatter.
The right balance
iPod Hi-Fi features three speaker cones custom designed to provide balanced sound across the frequency range. The result of numerous rigorous acoustic tests, this design delivers room-filling stereo imaging. The two 80 mm wide-range cones are set in dedicated chambers and isolated on the front plate, providing mid and high frequencies that sound vivid and bright. The natural bass of iPod Hi-Fi is generated by a 130 mm woofer. Thanks to the airtight sealing, the low frequencies are enriched inside the enclosure and then directed via tuned tubes through ports in the front.
Energy bar
No need to find a place to hide an unsightly power brick, as iPod Hi-Fi houses all power components internally. Or run iPod Hi-Fi on six D-cell batteries(2). Either way, it plays your music with big, warm sound. In DC mode, custom electronics manage the energy to enhance battery life and sound, even adjusting volume as necessary. And iPod Hi-Fi will charge your iPod from its batteries when the iPod runs low.
Look who's talking
Seamless integration means more than just plopping your iPod into a set of speakers. That's why iPod Hi-Fi actually communicates with your iPod. Just connect your iPod to the built-in Universal Dock and a simple, intuitive Speakers menu(3) lets you personalize iPod Hi-Fi to match your music. Take tone control, for starters. You can choose settings like "Normal," "Treble Boost," or "Bass Boost" to produce tones perfectly suited to your surroundings. You can also choose to display album art in a large, easily viewable format while iPod Hi-Fi plays. Set the backlight to remain on while playing and that album art positively pops off your iPod.
Take charge
iPod Hi-Fi not only plays nice with any iPod(4) using a dock adapter, it charges the iPod, too. Just drop your iPod into the built-in dock and you can play music and charge your iPod all at once. When plugged into an AC outlet, iPod Hi-Fi fully charges the iPod battery. And if you're running iPod Hi-Fi on D-cell batteries(2), it even provides your iPod with a charge so you can still play on the go.

2. D-cell batteries sold separately
3. Speakers menu and Tone Control only available on iPod nano and iPod with video
4. iPod models without a dock connector require an audio cable, sold separately

Product Description
Let your ears be the judge. From pumping bass to bright treble, iPod Hi-Fi delivers natural, room-filling sound. Close your eyes and you'd think you were listening to an amazing component system. Open them and you realize all that great sound is coming from a relatively small and portable box. Use it at home or at a picnic because iPod HiFi works either from household AC current or batteries. Apple designed it to be the ultimate in iPod friendliness. The dock has adapters to fit all dockable iPods. Then there's a mini plug for non-dockable models such as the shuffle. Use the included Apple Remote to control music playback from anywhere in a room. iPod Hi-Fi combines power and volume with acoustic clarity to produce clean, clear sound with very little distortion, even at high volume. Ultimately, like all iPods, there's are high levels of integrity and quality that reach out to people of all tastes and backgrounds. HiFi is a state of outstanding sound that you can listen and share. iPod represents easy use and world-class performance. Put them together and you've transcended to a new reality. And it's portable so you can take it with you. Make your life HiFi.
