iPod Speakers Cost

Typical costs:

• Budget desktop docking stations cost from about $40 to $100. While some units cater to specific iPod styles only, most offer adapters to accommodate a range of models, including the iPhone. Some budget units will operate from battery as well as AC power, making them suitable for travel. The Altec Lansing Moondance Home[1] features a built-in clock, alarm and FM radio, and is available for less than $60.
• Midrange docking stations cost from $100 to $200. Expect improved audio performance as well as compatibility with all iPod models, except for the shuffle. An auxiliary output will enable connection to other MP3 players or CD players. The Altec Lansing inMotion Classic[2] comes with a rechargeable battery and an FM tuner and retails for around $120.
• A high-end iPod docking station will offer premium acoustics capable of delivering room-filling sound. Expect to pay from $200 to $600 for a high-end model. The Bose SoundDock 10[3] retails for about $600
• Portable iPod speaker systems range from under $10 to over $500. At the low end expect low quality performance from units that run on normal AA batteries. The Jensen JiSS-20 includes a built-in clock and retails for about $40. The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere 2[4] usually runs around $110 and includes a 10 hour rechargeable battery and a wireless remote control. The Bose SoundDock Portable[5] music system is a portable version of the Bose SoundDock Series II and costs about $400.
• Due to the nature of its ultra-compact design, the iPod Shuffle is compatible with very few docking stations. Instead look for speakers that can be connected via the Shuffle's headphone jack. Expect to pay $40 to $150 for iPod speakers. The iHome iHM77[6] stereo mini speakers cost about $50 and are compatible with all iPod models including the Shuffle.

• Either a jack for attaching an iPod via its headphone socket or a sound dock with adapters to accommodate the different iPod models should be included.

• Portable travel bags or protective cases are available for some iPod speakers. Expect to pay from about $20 to $60.
• Additional rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are also available for some iPod speaker models, ideal if away from power for extended periods. Expect to pay from $10 to $100.

• Apple Online[7] offers free pickup and return shipping on all iPod speaker purchases so you can try them out risk-free for 14 days.

• Apple[8] offers a guide to choosing iPod speakers.
