These days many people are lucky enough to have an iPod. So with that option already gone, what do you give to a friend of loved one in your life this Christmas?
Bearing in mind the website you’re on, I guess it’s going to come as know suprise that’ll I’ll say…an iPod speaker of course.
It makes sense though. Everyone loves their iPod or iPhone and for the same sort of cost and in most cases less, you can give you’re friends or loved ones an iPod speaker so that they can not only enjoy their favourite music through their headphones, but in the comfort of their home or on their travels as well.
So what are the best iPod speakers to give to your loved ones this Christmas?
I thought about how best to define the best iPod speakers for this Christmas and the best I could come up with was the ones that I’d want someone to give me!
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Mini
2 years after the iconic Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin iPod speaker staggered the world with its concical design and impressice sonic performance those clever guys at B&W have brought us the Zeppelin Mini
The Zeppelin Mini carries on the Zeppelin’s tradition for design and excellence in a smaller package and at a better price.
This design goodie is going to take pride of place in anyone’s living room.
Price: £299 at John Lewis
Fatman iTube Valve Dock
The Fatman iTube Valve Dock’s appearance is best described as the result of an industrial accident involving your dad’s 1980’s Hi-fi separates and a skater boy with attitude.
The iTube’s sound experience though is where it excels. It combines cutting edge digital technology with refined analogue valves that produce a warmth and depth of sound that other purely digital iPod speakers find hard to compete with.
Price: £204.99 at Play.com
iHome IP1 Studio Series iPod Speaker
The new iHome IP1 is a great design statement and an iPod speaker you’d be proud to have on your bookshelf.
The sound elements on the IP1 are designed by Bongiovi Accoustics the best feature of which is the Digital Power Station processor. This little gizmo analyses the sound about to go through the speakers and dynamically adjusts the output so you get the best sound possible on every beat.
With 100 watts of power the IP1 is a serious bit of kit.
Price: £269.99 at Amazon.co.uk
Gear 4 Duo Portable iPod Speaker
Gear4’s Duo speaker was nominated in the Best iPod Accessory category at this year’s Macworld awards, was listed in their Buyers Guide 2009 as a ‘Gift to Hunt For’ and is one of the best selling iPod speaker docks on the market.
One of the best home/portable iPod speakers on the market with a removable faceplate that houses a rechargeable battery so that it transforms in to a travel speaker as well. Very Clever!
Price: £79.95 at John Lewis
Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere
The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere is a true travel speaker.
Beautiful with its black gloss finish, the Anywhere is an attractive but highly portable iPod speaker.
The sound has clarity and the stereo separation feature is definitely a plus, pleasingly widening the sound field.
You’d definitely want to be packing the Pure-Fi Anywhere and its 10 hour rechargable battery in to your suitcase, wherever you were going.
Price: £74.00 at Pixmania
So there you have it. The iPod speakers I’d like as a gift this Christmas.
