Ipod nano speakers

[Deleted User]

Hi everyone,

Don't know if this is in the right place. I want to buy some small speakers for my ipod nano, that run from the mains (don't want to use up loads of batteries), so I can listen when working in the kitchen. I've had a look at Amazon but quite unsure. I also don't want to spend more than about £25-30 on them.

Please can anyone help or give recommendations of what to get or avoid? Grateful for any help.

I'd recommend the JBL Onstage II, have them myself and am always surprised how good they are.
Bought mine from Tesco.

Whilst you can find some great bargains, generally with speakers and headphones you get what you pay for. Obviously this is a double-edged sword...

Best set of MP3 player speakers (I don't have an iPod) I ever bought are a set of Creative TravelSound 200's. Yes, they're battery powered, but I have a set of rechargeables in them, and they last for weeks on end. Plus the sound quality is out of this world. Obviously they're nothing compared to a hi-fi system. But they can deliver!!! You can get a 2nd hand pair for very little nowadays.

Hi!

Hmmm, well, if you have a radio in the kitchen already, you could try the Gear4 Airzone transmitter - it plugs into the iPod and makes it broadcast as a radio channel. That looks to be available for £18 from Play.com, and means you have some car options as well.

If you're looking for a solid speaker system, then you're at the low end of the spectrum, cost-wise. Gear4's BlackBox is a pretty cool portable speaker, for £36 via Amazon marketplace.

The Logitech X-240 comes in at £28 from LambdaTek, and looks to be a solid piece of kit, if a bit of a crossover with a PC speaker system.

Check out Trusted Reviews for Gear4 reviews, and Amazon for the X-240.

Good luck .

I got a Philips SBA290 device from the PC World sale a few weeks ago - about £20 down from £35ish I think. Excellent bit of kit, works on batteries or supplied power lead, fits any mp3 player with a headphone socket, quite a few boost options, clever little storage method and pouch. They seemed to have a few and when I walked past the other day the sale was still on.
