ilovestuff4 says "So effective for exercise needs " about Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit

ilovestuff4 — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:35:30 GMT

This product has quality and is veru useful for exercising. It is a pretty reasonable price, considering it is Nike quality and the sports kit includes everything you would need to enhance exercise. Seriously, if you don't already have a similiar product, try this one! The only downside is that you need an ipod nano....

cryssy88 says "Best product ever" about SDI - iHome Battery Charger, Docking Station, Speaker System, Clock Radio for iPod (IH5B)

cryssy88 — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:01:34 GMT

I absolutely love this product! You can listen to your ipod while it charges or you can listen to the radio! it comes with a remote so you can hit play whenever and has a alarm setting! works with any ipod - there is different pieces to make it work. Oh and with the remote theres a snooze setting so you can catch a little more shut eye!...

gene-the-ox says "Extreme poor quality" about Universal Electronics Fashionation Universal IPOD/MP3 Stereo Speakers in Green (FN-SP1070) Speaker System

gene-the-ox — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 18:05:11 GMT

The Fashionation speakers are a set of barely adequete set of speakers for lapton or mp3 player. I iked the idea of it being recycled but the quality is going to result in it going into a landfill. You can barely hear the sound and I have no problem using the speakers at home plugged into same machine. Beter to buy a pair in dollar stor for quality in this set of speakers....

Kamille says "Won't run without it" about Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit

Kamille — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:18:44 GMT

I started running about a year ago. A couple months after I started, a friend had recomended I purchase a Nike+. I'm glad I took his advice. It tracks my miles for me so I don't have to take the extra time and gas to drive the route I ran to try to figure out how many miles it was. It is so easy to use and it also tracks how many calories you burn each workout. I also love plugging my ipod into my computer and the ipod sends my workouts to nikeplus.com where I can look at all of my previous runs, set goals, enter challenges, and interact with other runners. I won't run without my Nike+....

thedarkknight1x says "The Ihome is great to wake up to" about SDI - iHome Battery Charger, Docking Station, Speaker System, Clock Radio for iPod (IH5B)

thedarkknight1x — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 00:30:18 GMT

Its compatible for all ipods.The music is clear and loud. You can wake up to your music by making a playlist or let it play from the first artist on your ipod to last.You can go to settings and turn shuffle songs on so you hear the songs playing in random order when you wake up.The music plays low at first and eventually gets really loud when you wake up to the alarm of your ipod....

llake5 says "A personal Trainer in your pocket." about Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit

llake5 — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 04:32:57 GMT

This is the greatest invention ever! It is like having a personal training and a music player all in one. Tracks your workout and your favorite songs. It so easy to use I bought my mom one for Christmas and she loves it. Its not expensive and you need the specific shoes but it is a great product....

Dprudzinski says "The Pacific Design Ipod Nano Case is stylish and utilitarian!" about Apple - Pacific Design Ipod Nano Flip Case

Dprudzinski — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:59:13 GMT

When I set out to buy my first ipod I had no idea the choices I would have-classic ipod ok, but how many GB's, ipod nano, still, how many GB's, and then there's the ipod touch and iphone. Yikes! When I finally settled on the ipod nano 4GB, I thought my choices were over. Boy, was I wrong. My choices were far from over, because once my little ipod nano arrived, it was time to begin shopping for accessories!

I had no idea that there were so many choices on the market for how you could cover your ipod. Now, I wasn't out there looking to transform my ipod into something it wasn't-I like the how it looks, the sleek design is awesome and cutting edge, so the "skins" available were of no interest. I just wanted something to protect it, especially the screen from damage.

When I came upon the flip case by Pacific Design at Sears, I knew that I had found exactly what I was looking for. While I initially thought $19.99 was a bit high for the case, the price was comparable to every...

mew says "The iTrip is the best in the field but that field sure dose suck" about Griffin Technology - iTrip

mew — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:46:20 GMT

If you absolutely NEED to listen to you iPod over the oldest electronic media distribution standard then this is what you'll want. With very simple plug-n-play connection through the docking port the iTrip only increases the profile of the iPod by half of an inch (while draining little power). Also you can use the iTrip as an alternative ipod dock with the mini-USB connection on the bottom of Itrip itself. Sound quality (on a good day) is better than most tape adapters but not quite near commercial radio. The station selection interface is rather confusing at first, but when demonstrated in person it becomes rather intuitive (although rather clunky for driving).

But make no mistake about it, RADIO TRANSMITTERS WILL NOT WORK VERY WELL. Simply moving the iTrip will often cause static to run amok, and driving through town you'll always experience an interference hot spot. The problem with consumer radio transmitters is that they're very very neutered by the FCC. The FCC doesn't want the average......

kmwright says "I love my iHome!!!" about SDI - iHome Battery Charger, Docking Station, Speaker System, Clock Radio for iPod (IH5B)

kmwright — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:00:53 GMT

I got my iHome as a Christmas present over 2 years ago and I haven't had a single problem. It plays all the music on my iPod perfectly, gets good reception to local radio stations, and I've never overslept. I can't express how great it is to wake up to anything I want rather than the jarring blare of many alarm clocks. It's a great 3 in 1 device. I don't own another iPod docking device, another alarm clock, or a radio. I love it!!...

somniphobia says "Bad product, okay price. " about iSymphony 50W Micro System with Universal Dock Docking Station for Apple iPod - M1 (827396510445)

somniphobia — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:48:35 GMT

I personally don't like this stereo. I got one for Christmas a year or so ago, because it had a USB port, so a person could use, what was at the time the iPod shuffle, when it was still a stick.

The USB thing didn't work for either on mine. And I gave up.

I used the CD player, and the second time I used that, it would not load a disc unless I turned the entire system on and off, sometimes that doesn't even work the first time.

The iPod dock is the only pleasent part of this and even then it is hard to get to the controls if you wnat to change your playlist.

Zaxby says "Good but not great" about JBL - Onstage Docking Station for iPod

Zaxby — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 06:58:23 GMT

    Now I'm no audiophile but I'd like to say that I have a slightly tuned ear. The JBL Onstage puts out a great sound for the size of the product. I am very happy with it's portability and size. It sits comfortably on my desk with a lot of other junk.

    Apart from the size the sound is decent. The mids and treble are pretty good. However, I was very disappointed with the near complete lack of bass support. If it attempts the deeper range it gets tinny and small. I didn't think that it would have rich deep sound, but it is so far the other direction.

    I use another JBL product to provide bass when I'm listening seriously with great success. If you want to get something portable and light and don't mind compromising some power, this product is right up your alley.

sassyorange says "This is an awesome way to keep track of your runs!" about Apple/Nike + iPod Sport Kit

sassyorange — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 03:45:04 GMT

This is a great product. This is a good way to meet other runners, and to keep track of your workouts. I have logged more than 100 miles since I purchased mine, and I love it!

The only drawback is the interface between the nike website and itunes. Sometimes it takes a while for the run to upload to the nike website. But, other than that, I have never had any problems with this product.

imallbs says "Avoid this product" about Griffin Technology - iTrip

imallbs — Mon, 19 May 2008 05:21:01 GMT

I bought the iTrip at Best Buy after reading the reviews. It worked fine the 1st time I tried to use it. It found a clear station right away. When I tried to change stations the + button didn't work so I had to use the - button for everything. After the 1st week, it stopped turning on when I started up my iPod. I went to the Griffin web site and downloaded tips. It turns out I have to soft boot my iPod 4 - 5 times just to get the thing to work. I threw it in a drawer and bought a monster fm transmitter. It has been working fine for 2 months now, the iTrip was a waste of money....

ballhawkdawk says "It gets the job done, but wireless fm is not the way to go." about Monster Cable - iCarPlay Wireless Plus Car / Plane Charger, FM Transmitter for Apple iPod shuffle (AISHFMCHPS)

ballhawkdawk — Sat, 17 May 2008 17:17:46 GMT

I've ALWAYS been a firm believer in Monster products. As far as I can tell (installed alot of these) the Monster transmitter holds up really well, and, compared to the others I've seen on the market, does just as good as most, if not better.

The problem most people don't realize is, the FCC forced manufacturers to cut down the strength of wireless FM modulation because they were bleeding over into other people's radios, forcing a neighboring car to listen to other people's music (which could be obscene).
This is why XM, Sirius and other items with wireless transmission built in do not work well.

My advice, get you local installer to hardwire you a connection for your mp3 or ipod. Its realitively inexpensive and well worth it!!

kevinepperson says "not bad for its size" about JBL - Onstage Docking Station for iPod

kevinepperson — Wed, 14 May 2008 19:19:38 GMT

the jbl onstage ipod docking system is not bad for its size. it has good highs , but the lows become distorted when turned up too loud. it has good power for its size, but again the distortion gets bad at high volumes. it is very small and portable. my wife and i took ours to the beach in the bahamas and it was perfect for a short period. it tends to eat batteries when played for extended periods at high volumes. rechargable would be the way to go. overall not a bad low cost portable ipod docking system. i would recommend it....

kevinepperson says "bose, enough said" about Bose Speakers - SoundDock - iPod Docking Station

kevinepperson — Wed, 14 May 2008 19:14:01 GMT

the bose ipod dock is by far the best out on the market. though it is a bit more expensive, you get what you pay for. i would pay twice what it cost. it has superior sound quality to anything i have heard on the market. the highs are crisp and clear, and the lows are surprisingly deep and full for the size of the product. i have the old model that is not portable. the new portable model is perfect. i will definitely get it next. bose accels in every aspect of speaker quality and sound. you cant go wrong with anything that has the bose name on it....

edmur says "Awesome system, great sound, really expands uses for my iPod" about Bose SoundDock Portable Music Pack Docking Station for iPod Black (309220-1100)

edmur — Thu, 01 May 2008 13:49:42 GMT

I've been an iPod user since they first came out...and just recently picked up the Bose Sound Dock Portable for use on vacations, camping trips, etc. - and I gotta say I'm truly blown away by the product. Great sound, easy to use, excellent battery life (it also charges my iPod), and it's really expanded how and when I use my iPod. It's turned my iPod from a personal device into something so much more than that......

scatman says "Great for the average user." about Bose Speakers - SoundDock - iPod Docking Station

scatman — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:05:01 GMT

I had been shopping around for a good iPod dock/speaker system to use for excercising to and I found my Bose. I do like it because it has clear audio and adjusts to different genres pretty well. If you're a sound geek like I am, you aren't presented with as many options as you'd like. First off, the speakers are only pointed straight forward, so when I'm working out, I have to have it pointed straight towards me to get the full sound....
