Top Ipod Docks Aren’t Cheap

by Jason





Top iPod Docks Compared

At around $600 the best iPod docks are not cheap but if you want  a great sound for your music then this is what you will need to pay.  I looked at all the top sound docks recently and I still think the Bose Sounddock 10 is the best of the bunch, closely followed by the B&W Zeppelin. But if you want something more affordable there are other sound docks to consider.  These were listed in an article on the top docks in the US recently. The top ipod docks (with current Amazon.com prices) were said to be:

I am not sure that these players can be compared with one another. For example the MIX is  a portable party docking station designed for “the DJ lifestyle” whereas the Boze and the Zeppelin are not portable- although there are portable versions of them. The Philips Fidelio Primo is also a cheaper portable model that should be compared with the less expensive Bose portable and the Zeppelin portable rather than with the larger Bose 10 and Zeppelin.

If you want a sound dock that can take the place of your home music system then I would still recommend the Bose 10 soundDock

x-mini ii capsule speaker for iPod

by Jason

The x-mini-ii capsule speaker for iPod is a tiny little docking speaker that I want to tell you about today.

I realize I have been going on a lot about the Bose Sounddock 10 music system for iPod and I do realize they are not for everyone. So its time for something a little less pricey. Maybe you just want the speakers for spoken word rather than for music. If that is the case there are several smaller and cheaper speakers that would fit the bill perfectly. Of course these speakers do play music too but not as well as larger and more expensive docking speakers like the Bose range.

So today I want to tell you about a little speaker I bought that is portable and that I use to listen to audiobooks and podcasts.  It is called the x-mini 11 capsule speaker and it costs only about $28 at Amazon.com at present so it won’t set you back too much.

X-mini Capsule 11 speaker for Ipod

X-mini Capsule 11 speaker

The x-mini 11 capsule speaker for iPod comes in red or black and it is so small that it will fit comfortably in the palm of your hand being about half the size of a tennis ball. Despite its small size the x-mini-capsule 11 makes a big loud noise! The battery life is around 11 hours and it is rechargeable, so no need to keep splashing out on expensive batteries.

User feedback is very good with 114 people gave the x-mini 11 capsule speaker 5/5 stars on the Amazon.com web site, so its certainly living up to its promise for most purchasers.
