Title: i-pod speakers
Post by: Bedford Red on Thursday, May 22, 2008, 19:01:40
I'm looking to get some really good speakers for my i-pod, money isn't an issue as such.

So, although i'm quite capable of looking around and choosing them, what i would like is if anyone has any, and if so what do you recommend is good/don't touch with a barge-pole?

Any problems with them i would like to know about as well?

I've got one that is white and shaped like a bagel, cost me about a ton a couple of years ago, good sound from them in my opinion.

I paid £199 from Comet for my Bose sound dock.

I bought a pair of £5 Sony travel speakers from Argos. They do the same job at 2.5% of the price.

Not quite Sam.

The Bose sound dock really kicks the sound out, good bass and it sounds superb.

Cool, thanks for all the advice people. I will have a look around at the weekend and treat myself to one.

I never did get the ipod dock stuff, although I don't own an ipod. I think I'd rather play stuff through my hi-fi rather than a small speaker thing.

Of course I'm assuming a lot there like already having a hi-fi and having the space for one etc etc

Why do you need to spend so much on something which are basically glorified travel speakers though?

And if you're going to use it at home, £200 would get you a set of bookshelf speakers that would do a better job than that portable jobbie.

you could get a budget amp and speakers for that.

in fact i've got a hifi rack I need to get rid of if anyone wants it.

I know you said that money wasn't really an issue, but if you fancy lowering the budget considerably, and want something that is very portable, I got these a while back. Sound quality is superb for such a small unit. Charges your iPod aswell.
