iPods are great, and we’re rarely without one. But sometimes a pair of earbuds just isn’t enough--especially when you want some tunes for a backyard BBQ or basement dance party, or perhaps your favorite Lemonheads record just doesn’t sound right unless you crank it up. Either way, Ion Audio’s Tailgater can help you rock with friends, indoors or out.

Sony CDX-GT730UI Xplod GT Series CD Receiver

The wide open road. The windows down on a warm spring day. The wind whips through your car and tosses your hair about. The lo-fi tunes strain to be heard from your car speakers because you’re using a tape-deck adapter to listen to your iPhone or iPod. If you’re looking to upgrade your system from its roots in the 1990s, Sony’s CDX-GT730UI Xplod GT Series CD Receiver (longest name ever) is a low-cost solution for getting your car to play nice with your iPod or iPhone.

We’re all about convergence, but sometimes gadget makers are prone to slapping iPod docks on products that don’t really need them, like armchairs and toilet paper holders. iHome’s iP71 isn’t one of those head-scratchers. It’s a set of stereo desktop speakers featuring an iPod dock, so you can play music from your iPod, your Mac, or another audio device, plus keep your iPod charged at the same time.

Radius Atomic Bass Earphones for iPhone

Posted 08/24/2009 at 10:37am | by Ray Aguilera

0

Comments

The biggest complaint we hear about headphones is the lack of bass. And it makes sense. Asking tiny speakers that go in your ears to recreate the boom of 12-inch woofers is a tall order. Now that Apple’s iPhone comes in a 32GB version, more users can forgo the iPod/cell phone combo in favor of a single device that can make calls, run apps, and hold a sizable chunk of your music collection. And bass-heads take note: The Atomic Bass Earphones are as apt a name as we can think of, although there are some drawbacks.

Belkin Dual Auto Charger and Wireless Input iPWR SuperPack

Comment

If you actually use your iPhone’s best features--the 3G network, push notifications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Location Services, all those bells and whistles that make it so awesome--you’ve probably noticed your battery needs recharging every day or two at least. We never leave home without the cable and AC adapter that came with our iPhone, so we’re in luck as long as we can find a power outlet or USB port to plug in to. But wandering beyond walls and away from computers requires some extra gadgetry to keep our iPhone charged, namely Belkin’s Dual Auto Charger for the car and the iPWR SuperPack backup battery for everywhere else.

Earphones are a personal thing. Everyone has different criteria for what makes a good set. Some might be looking for bass, others might be more interested in noise reduction. Certain people might only be interested in ’phones that come in standard-issue “iPod white,” while someone else is looking for something a bit more interesting, color-wise.

Tonium Pacemaker 666

Someone told us the other day that real DJs are analog. While we’re huge fans of the warm sound of vinyl, we’re pretty sure this person has never lugged 15 crates of albums up four flights of stairs, only to have to return to the van to get the turntables and mixer. While some DJs are visiting the chiropractor for their back problems, Tonium introduces the Pacemaker 666. This handheld portable mixer might not replace a full kit for pros, but for hobbyists—or even club DJs looking to, um, mix things up for a while—the Pacemaker stays on-beat.

Native Instruments Guitar Rig Mobile

There’s nothing quite like the glow of tubes burning hot in a heavy, smoky tube amplifier for making an electric guitar sing and scream. But when you want the sweet sound of six-string Nirvana to go, Native Instruments’ slick new Guitar Rig Mobile offers a cool combination of a tiny hardware interface and the stripped-down power of their potent Guitar Rig software studio for just around a hundred bucks--and it’s got plenty of big audio bang to fuel your rock ’n’ roll dreams.
