Best iPod Docks for Your Dorm Room 5

by Evan Shamoon on July 22, 2008 at 12:01 PM



Griffin Evolve:

One of the first fully wireless speaker systems with a built-in iPod dock, the Evolve speakers are finally free to roam about the room. Using rechargable Li-ion batteries and radio-frequency (RF) wireless transmission, the speakers and remote work from a couple rooms over (even through walls). While they can't be played at super-high volumes (when they are, the sound starts to crackle), the unparalleled cable-less freedom is endlessly useful -- for example, they can be used either as a pair of stereo speakers in the same room, or as two mono speakers in two different rooms. The base unit even has video output (though only with fifth-gen iPods), and while it's a bit bare on features -- no alarm, no clock radio -- the sheer freedom (and nice, minimalist design) makes it great for the most cavernous of dorm hallways.
