HiFi Blog: digital audio goodness

Before we decide which iPod speakers are the best, we must first set out criteria on which to base our decision. We need to examine sound quality, volume control, function, and practical use. Sound quality can be judged by depth of base, frequency limits and, realistic sound. Volume control can be judged by ease of use, the volume extremity, and the range of volume choice. Functions are important; the iPod speakers should have multiple functions to keep the product interesting to the buyer. The speakers must be easy to use and store, you must be able to place them in all houses and, in most cases, on most shelves. They must be of a universally effective size.

We must examine higher quality brands, and take the advice and testimonials of others when determining which speakers are best. We can use the internet, flyers, and sales people at electronic stores to find out what brand and model is best. Brands such as Bose and JBL are of high quality and boast special attention to quality of work. Bose has higher prices and great reviews, so when it comes down to it, this is the brand I’m going to go with.

Now we must determine what functions are best, as well as which models have the highest capacities. Bose offers three speaker systems for the iPod. One is Bluetooth, which connects to the iPod wirelessly. This connectivity is convenient, but has short range. They offer a portable version of the direct connect iPod speaker system, which charges the device, and connects directly to the device’s data port. This is convenient as the device retains a charge, and is located securely on the speakers.

Unfortunately, the portable version of the speakers lack strength. The final option is the “Sound dock 10 high performance dock”. This product is excellent as it boasts powerful sound, with great depth of bass. It offers a small profile with huge sound, rivaling that of a larger sound system. The product also offers an auxiliary input for other devices of different brands. The frequency limits on this system are above and beyond any other on the market, making the sound very lifelike and ear catching.

The system also offers Bluetooth connectivity to allow that wireless freedom that some users may want. The small size of this powerhouse allows greater accessibility to a much larger demographic of people. You can fit it anywhere from the kitchen counter, to your bed side table. I have chosen this great product as my final choice as it has the best overall rating of my personal preferences. I find that, aside from the price, this system provides everything needed to boast powerful, life like sound and performance.
