Despite its small frame, Audyssey's Audio Dock packs a whole lot of punch -- with a surprising amount of bass and high-end clarity. You can stick your iPod or iPhone into the dock connector (GSM-shielded so phones don't need to be switched into airplane mode), or stream tunes over Bluetooth from virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device (even your PC). Built-in dual microphones turn the dock into a ...

At a recently opened Burger King in Japan, customers can get a Whopper, french fries, a Coke and a shower, too -- not the wet and naked kind, but a "musical shower," designed to drench your newly sated ears in delicious sounds. According to Engadget, certain booths at Japanese BKs feature docks for your iPod and a clear, bowl-shaped speaker hanging above the table. As a result, your personalized ...

Designer Moritz Waldemeyer loves lights. Having worked with the likes of Hussein Chalayan and Ron Arad (on products like Arad's famous Lolita chandelier), and having designed LED suits for U2 and OK Go, Waldemeyer is something of the go-to guy when you want digital haute design. He was recently challenged by Wallpaper, one of our favorite design-porn mags, to design a product based on the ...

Geneva Lab's GenevaSound minimal iPod hi-fis have been around for a while, but now the ultramodern speaker has been shrunk to fit smaller spaces on tighter budgets. Last night at Digital Experience, we got a hands-on demo of the Lilliputian version of this sleek treasure, and it's fair to say that, despite the raucous environment and zebra-striped booth babes competing for our attention, the new ...

A reader writes: I want a decent-sounding audiophile table radio that can not only handle my iPod, but also wake me up in the morning! The Bose Wave radio II looks nice, but I'm not sure I want to spend more than $300 on this. Just tell me what to get! Sure, Bose's Wave radio II sounds great, but do you really want to shell out $350 for a high-end clock radio that doesn't interface directly ...

When getting an iPod FM transmitter, look for versions that connect via the dock plug instead of the audio jack; the audio is line-level and therefore of poorer quality. Plus, if it has a cigarette lighter adapter, you'll be able to charge while it plays. Because the antenna is in the cable, extending it will get you better reception than keeping it wrapped up and close to the stereo will. ...

There's certainly no shortage of eye-catching iPod docks / speaker systems to choose from, but this new so-called AeroSystem is the only one to get Jean-Michel Jarre's stamp of approval, and that's enough to get at least a few folks to take notice (though we'll personally stick with our Joy Division Zune). In addition to being a conversation starter, the speaker unit also look to be capable ...

As gadgets get more advanced, they tend to get smaller. Some people, however, still yearn for the past when bigger still meant better. If you fall into that category, you might want the Xi Jukebox, a 1950's looking iPod dock that's made for any fans of the Fonz. The size isn't just for looks, though. Inside this handcrafted baby you get an Mk7 Twin channel amplifier that cranks out 150 ...

It seems that not a day goes by when some new iPod speaker dock doesn't come out, but only so often do such products come from loudspeaker companies that have been around since the days of cassettes and LPs. Bose and B&W have offered up their models, but only now is Boston Acoustics getting into the iPod speaker game with this week's release of the i-DS2, a simple, one-piece iPod speaker ...

These days one has no shortage of things in which to set his iPod. There's a keyboard dock, an old guitar, a faux-turntable, even a toilet paper roll (we wish we were kidding about that last one). At this year's Consumer Electronics Show, which opens next week, new entrant to the electronics market Cue Accoustics will debut yet another thing to set your iPods into -- a much more stylish and ...

It may look a little strange, but the $600 B&W Zeppelin sounds perfect and sets a new standard for acoustics and ergonomics in the all-in-one iPod dock category. ...

We all know Bose makes some fantastic sounding, and fantastically expensive speakers. Since its introduction in 2004, the company's iPod dock has pretty much become the standard for those who care more about sound and less about their wallets. Now, a portable version has been introduced. The new $399 SoundDock Portable has a rechargeable lithium ion battery (like the kind laptops have) that allows ...
