You have your iPod now what? Do you leave it there or do you go browsing through the many iPod accessories which are even whispering evilly in your ear, to take them home with you (paid for of course!). And even if you do give your little shoulder devil the time of day, which of the accessories do you spring for? The iPod case, or the iPod speakers, or maybe even the iPod car holder.



It’s all really a matter of cash availability and preference of course. For one thing if you’re verging on the broke after splurging on your new iPod, there’s very little in the way of buying that you can do, unless of course you go without food for about an entire week, or month or two!



This naturally will limit your iPod accessory buying capability to somewhat more manageable proportions – you hope. So what do you look at, what are the best accessories for you to have with you? It naturally enough depends to a large extent on your daily life habits, but if you find that you spend most of your time on the road going from one work destination to another, you will find that your iPod becomes your best friend.



To this end, you would really want to get an iPod car kit, but since these can be on the expensive side, you might think about buying an iPod FM transmitter instead. And along with that you might also want to look at getting an iPod car holder. These two accessories alone could be all that you need, at least until you can scrape the money to get the more expensive car kit!



With an iPod car holder and FM transmitter by your side as you spend lonely hour upon lonely hour in your car, you will find that time actually flies without your being aware of it. Since you will be spending so much time in your car with your iPod you will want to make sure that the iPod car holder you’re looking into buying is one that can be easily fixed and removed.



It should also be able to fit well together with an iPod that has an FM transmitter attached to it. So before you buy, try! This is one adage that is particularly apt here. If you buy your iPod car holder and FM transmitter separately without thinking twice about whether or not they will fit together you might find that either one, or the other is useless to you.



And when you finish spending on your new iPod car holder and FM transmitter, you might also want to consider investing in an iPod car charger. And hey, if you’re going that far, maybe also a case for your new iPod, or barring that, maybe a screen protector? And just think, this is only the beginning!

Keep Your Music Ultra Portable With the Right iPod Shuffle Accessories

What's the Point of Having a Tiny iPod Shuffle Then Tying It Down With a Big Speaker Docking System?

Apple's iPod shuffle, the most miniature version of the popular iPod available, is one of the most popular products for the portable music enthusiast. The earbud headphones that come with the iPod shuffle are good enough to make your on the go experience enjoyable, but there are many other iPod shuffle accessories which can further enhance your music listening experience.

Headphones and Speakers

Headphones are without a doubt one of the most popular iPod shuffle accessories. While the earbud headphones that come with it are good enough for many users, others prefer different headphones, either because they find the earbuds uncomfortable or because they want headphones that deliver crisper audio. Any headphones that use a 3.5mm stereo minijack will work with the iPod shuffle, from traditional over-the-ear headphones to simply different earbuds. After all, sometimes headphones break and you need replacements; fortunately there's no lack of selection, and decent-quality headphones can easily be found for under $10 a pair.

Speakers are another popular iPod shuffle accessory. Speaker technology has gotten to the point where crisp, power speakers come in small enough sizes that you won't feel silly hooking them up to the miniscule iPod shuffle. It is very important to remember that the iPod shuffle only has the minijack as an interface; this means that accessories like docking station speakers won't work with the iPod shuffle, because it lacks the standard iPod docking port. Only a speaker dock specifically designed to pass power through the minijack, like the shuffle's own included dock, will work with it.

Other iPod Shuffle Accessories

Also popular is the car charger. This iPod shuffle accessory plugs into your car's power adapter or cigarette lighter to deliver power to your shuffle to keep it charged while on the go. You can also find cables, connectors, or even FM transmitters that let you listen to your iPod shuffle over your car's stereo system, letting you listen to your music while you drive without worrying about the dangers of having your headphones on in the car.

An interesting accessory for anybody who spends a lot of their time on the go is the USB Travel Dock from Marware. This simple accessory is nothing more than a dock for the iPod shuffle connected directly to a USB connector, without the wire between the two that the standard dock comes with. While it may not sound like much, this iPod shuffle accessory will be appreciated by anybody who normally plugs their dock into their laptop and wants to have fewer cables around to get tangled up.

In the end, the use and perceived value that you get from your iPod shuffle is up to you. While the shuffle by itself is a great value, you can get much more out of it if you're willing to spend a little more on some iPod shuffle accessories. The great thing is that because the iPod shuffle only plays music, you don't have to worry about accessories that play video or scratch-resistant coverings for the video screen. In the end, every available iPod shuffle accessory has only one purpose: to help you listen to your music the way you want to.
