We’re all buying more and more online these days and there’s no disputing that one of the biggest online retailers is Amazon
These days Amazon seem to sell everything, from Books to Barbie Dolls and DVD’s to PS3’s and because of the amount they sell and the breadth of their range, they are a pretty good barometer for what people are buying.
So with less than 4 weeks to go until Christmas we take a look at the Top 5 iPod speakers being sold on Amazon right now.
1. XMI X-mini II Mini iPod Speaker
The X-Mi X Mini II 2nd Generation Capsule iPod Speaker is a genuine travel speaker; small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.
The X Mini II’s 11 hour battery life means your can keep on enjoying your favourite tunes and the handy travel bag that’s included makes it really easy to take around with you, wherever you want to go.
The X Mini II’s best party trick is its buddy system, which lets you link up your X Mini II with your friend’s X Mini II’s to create an either bigger sound that will really get the party started.
2. Intempo IDS-01-N-S Silver Metallic iPod Speakers
The Intempo IDS-01 with its simple elegance, is one of the best looking travel speakers.
For a compact iPod speaker, the IDS-01 offers pretty good volume, able to serve up a 12 watts if power and is compatible with all iPods, including the Shufflle (although you can’t dock the shuffle, it has to be connected via a lead in to the headphone jack).
Surprisingly the IDS-01 comes with a handy remote control that lets you navigate through your iPod’s menus, but oddly doesn’t let you adjust the volume. This is controlled by 2 buttons on the device itself. If you’re out and about you can power this speaker dock with 4 x AA batteries that should give you 20 hours of playtime.
3. Klipsch iGroove iPod Speaker System
This is one of the best speakers there is – hands down. The Klipsch iGroove HG offers a lot more in performance than its price tag implies.
The iGroove plays your favourite tunes through 2 x 2.5″ Woofers and 2 x 1″ Tweeters, but this is only half the story.
The Tweeters are Klipsch much talked about MicroTractrix™ Horns. They are are shaped like a trumpet horn, which reproduce a wide range of frequencies equivalent to that of a larger speaker system, without the need for high-powered drivers and transformers.
Beautifully curvaceous with an black gloss finish, the Klipsch iGroove would definitely be on my Christmas list
4. Intempo IDS-01B iPod speakers – Black
The fact that it appears twice in Amazon’s Top 5 is testament to the value that this compact iPod speaker offers the user.
The Black version of the IDS-01 is just the same as its Silver sibling, the only difference being its glossy black finish.
Personally I think I would prefer to see the Black Intempo IDS-01 in my Christmas stocking rather the Silver version, but the choice is up to you.
5. Sony SRSGU10IP iPod Speaker Dock
The Sony SRSGU10IP is an iPod speaker packed with clever features.
The tone and sound performance of the SRSGU10IP is very warm for a portable speakers and its Bass boost function offers full natural bass tones even at low volumes.
For iPhone users, the good news is that the SRSGU10IP is clever enough to know when you’re receiving a call and stops the music automatically so you never miss a beat of your favourite tunes.
The handy remote control offers you full control over your iPod or iPhone and its functions so no running across the room to change the playlist or choose the album you want to listen to. A good buy.
