As a result of the high attractiveness of Apple's iPod, countless manufacturers have been scrambling to offer a huge array of iPod accessory devices ranging from wireless headphones to docking stations. I will have a look at several of the newest products such as wireless headphones that will open up a new range of possibilities for your iPod and iPhone and give some recommendations for buying these accessories.
Whilst many iPod consumers will listen to their songs via headphones, loudspeakers are often preferred in interior spaces. iPod speakers with a built-in docking cradle are available in many different designs. Unfortunately, many of these loudspeakers have inferior sound quality. The rated loudspeaker output power of these iPod loudspeakers is frequently rather limited.
A superior solution, then, is choosing a good-quality stand-alone bookshelf speaker and using a miniature amplifier including Amphony’s microFidelity audio amplifier to connect your speakers with the iPod. One more choice are active speakers. Be sure, though, that the loudspeaker amp is a high-quality amplifier with low audio distortion, high signal-to-noise ratio and power efficiency to attain maximum sound quality.
One problem with the iPod has been tangled headphone cables. Going wireless is one method to solve this difficulty. The most recent iPods include Bluetooth and WiFi wireless. iPods with wireless access can cut the cable by using audio streaming. Audio streaming means that the music is sent wirelessly to a receiver. Any Bluetooth headphone or loudspeaker supporting the Bluetooth audio protocol will be able to pick up the signal.
If your iPod doesn't have integrated wireless, you can utilize a separate wireless audio transmitter to send audio wirelessly to earphones or loudspeakers. WiFi-enabled iPods can connect to your wireless network and you can easily transport tracks wirelessly and also access a few of the iPods features by your PC similar to having your iPod attached to your PC via USB cable.
One major inconvenience for iPod users so far has been building an iPod music collection by ripping CDs or downloading tracks from online vendors or file sharing networks. A much more hassle-free and less expensive method is employing 3rd-party software such as iGetMusic for building a song collection by recording from online radio channels and automatically tagging each song with title, artist, album and genre details and adding album cover artwork for import into iTunes and transport to an iPod.
