The JVC NX-PN7 Dual iPod Dock accommodates two iPod players side-by side, charging them simultaneously and offering playback from each through the dock’s speakers. The perfect his and hers iPod setup. We’re always taking turns charging the iPods in our house. We actually have 4 iPods that need charging if we include the kids too.

What’s really great about this particular dual dock is that you can playback on the speakers from either iPod! This feature is great if you like to listen to music around the house without your headphones. After all who wants to walk around at home with headphones on all day? And being able to choose music from either iPod is especially nice since we all have different song selections and audio books on ours.

If you’re not in the mood to listen to your iPod, this audio system also features a AM/FM radio tuner so you can pick up your favorite local radio station and listen in that way. The easy to use remote makes it easy to change the station or the song from across the room. And on top of all the dual goodness this system has to offer you, it is iPhone compatible as well. It comes very close to being the perfect docking station.

M Station makes all sorts of cool gadgets and accessories, but the Orb caught my eye. It’s smooth sleekness is quite attractive on the dresser or desk, and it comes in all the Nano 2nd gen colors, including the special edition red.

It always makes me very happy to see that version, because that is the iPod I bought for my husband and a lot accessories aren’t made to match the product RED version. Pink is shown here, they also have the turquoise, green, black, white, and silver colors available.

These cute little spheres of iPod power are about 8 inches around and a great alternative to a standard iPod docking station. You can sync to iTunes, charge up, and listen in. The handy little color coordinated remote lets you skip songs, go back, and make selections from across the room. A great feature if you like to listen to music while hanging out with friends at home, or even while multitasking around your office.

“Made for iPod” Desktop Docking Station/ Speaker System packs a powerful ing Bass that only a Dedicated Subwoofer can produce. Every Orb includes a 10 Key Remote that allows you to navigate within Playlists from a distance, as well as adjust the Volume ±, Bass and Treble

When Apple released the revamped iPod Shuffle it got a little bit of buzz and that seemed to be it. I think this was a great addition to the iPod family! The Shuffle is cute, tiny, and now it’s 2GB powerful!

I was surprised to find that there are a lot of people that don’t know you now have the choice between a 1GB Shuffle and a 2GB shuffle…. and in even better news the price has gone down on both dramatically. You can pick one of the 2GB Shuffles for under $70, and you can still pick up a 1GB Shuffle for under $50! That’s a great deal on any size iPod! (Thinking back to what the Nano cost for my kids… *gasp*)

There’s no visual difference that I can see between the 1GB and the 2GB… they come in the same colors and the shape has stayed the same.  They’re still 2nd Generation iPods, not a 3rd Generation, so the only thing that has really changed is the number of tunes you can load onto them.  And of course that price drop I mentioned, my favorite Shuffle feature!

All the craze is focused on the new iPod Nano design … and while it’s cute and sleek and shows off with it’s rounded corners. The Shuffle is still the queen of compact design and functionality when you clip it on your shirt and go out the door. It might not hold 100 books on tape recordings, but 2GB of music is still a lot of music to listen to while you’re out and about, on your walk, or shopping at the mall.

These cute and rugged iPod cases are both water proof and crushproof, making them one of the most protective iPod cases you can get. And with a big variety of colors you can keep your iPod safe and still look cute with a black, yellow, white, blue, silver, pink or green case.

The active sport tie down strap is great for attaching to your bag or for when you’re out jogging or even hiking. If you’re clumsy like me, it’s good to know that your iPod is safe and secure and even if it does fall or get dropped it is still protected inside the Pelican. Your earphones can be stored inside the case when you’re not listening, and connected through the outside when you want to listen. This is a great feature so that you can listen to your iPod and still keep it within the waterproof case when you’re at the side of the beach or pool.

This cute fuzzy pillow will work for anything that has a headphone jack on it. You can hook up your iPod, MP3 player, CD player, even your portable radio or portable television if you wanted.

These audio pillows are great for lounging around in the evening. You don’t always want to have headphones or ear buds on while you’re at home, but you also don’t want to disturb the whole house with what you’re playing either. A fun little pillow solves that problem, and it looks pretty cute sitting on the futon or your bed too.

Summertime is in full swing. School is out and vacations have begun. When I was teenager I used to grab my big bulky boombox off the top of my dresser, an extension cord and run that big thing out onto the roof outside my room so I could enjoy the tunes outside in the afternoon.

Not only are big bulky boomboxes a thing of the past, but you no longer need those long extension cords if you want to take your tunes outside while you’re hanging in the yard.

You can grab a wireless outdoor speaker powered by the strongest battery on the planet, the sun. This great gadget is powered by the sun’s energy with a handy solar panel. Add your iPod / MP3 player and you’re set for the whole day.

This little Nike+iPod setup makes a great workout companion for those early morning runs all alone. The workout screen on your Nano will tell you how far you went, and what a great job and how long it’s taken you to get there in addition to the usual song title and band name display.

A little voice will poke through your music and tell you when you’re just about to your goal. A whisper in your ear to push you to that final destination (100 meters to go) and then right back to your favorite tunes for workout motivation.

You’ll be able to track distance, time, pace and calories burned. You can also set up PowerSongs access the tunes that get you pumped instantly. It’s everything you need to manage your workout AND enjoy it more.

This fun little combo has one major downside. The pedometer battery is not replaceable, so eventually you have to buy a whole new kit if the battery goes kaput. Unless you know a battery genius that knows how to work some chargeable magic on it, then you might be okay.

You’ wake up in style with the unique alarm clock and iPod station. And if you don’t have an iPod or MP3 player don’t worry, the Harman Kardon Alarm Clock with iPod Docking Station also features a stereo mini input jack, allowing you to connect an external CD player or other audio device.

You can choose to wake up to a boring old buzzer, or you can choose a song from your iPod as your wake up in the morning. Again, no need to worry if you haven’t got an iPod you can wake up to the radio instead of the buzzer as well. Additional features of the great morning starter include a large clock display so even the most tired eyes can see the numbers and the ability to program your favorite radio stations so you can listen at the touch of a button.

If you’ve got an iPod or an MP3 player of any kind chances are you’ve got a pair of those little white or black earbuds that come standard with all of them. They have become increasingly popular, and they come in all sorts of colors now to match your iPod. But, not everyone likes to stick things in their ear.

I recently had the experience of shopping for MP3 compatible headphones that go over your ear instead of in your ear. Let me say that this was not an easy task at all. We started off our trip at an electronics store my son had a gift card for, and they had one single choice for him in an over the ear style headphone. We asked the “helpful” store associate if there were any other over the ear headphones available and he pointed us toward the computer section where you can buy the big Bose sound studio style noise canceling padded headsets, and to stereo and sounds where you could buy more of the same. I explained to Mr. Helpful that we wanted small headphones for my son to use with his iPod, but that he wanted something that didn’t go in his ear. Mr. Helpful’s only response was a puzzled expression and, “Why?”

So, of course we poked around a few more shops. More of the same. I told my son if he gave me a few days I’d find him some online. I expected this to be a difficult task , but it was surprisingly easy! Lots of companies make nice, compact earphone designs that do not go inside your ear. Sony, Phillips, and many, many more.

I was actually surprised how many styles I found online that go over your ear instead of in your ear. I don’t understand why the brick and mortar stores don’t carry more of them really. So, if you’re like us and don’t like things poking in your ear I’d love to hear your earphone shopping stories too. Why do you think stores (and people) are favoring the in ear styles?

Just add your iPod to the Ego Sound Case will float on the water and play your tunes from waterproof speakers. Great for the beach or the pool this summer. Or even as a precaution if you’re toting your iPod around at an amusement park like Busch Gardens this summer. You might just want to hop on a water ride and this way your gear is protected without having to pay 3 dollars for a tiny locker to put your iPod in for 30 minutes.

Using the waterproof casing does have it’s downside. For starters, it doesn’t include a remote, so if it’s floating at a distance from you or at the side of the pool and you want to change the song or turn up the volume, you’ve got to swim on over there. Also, the integrated speakers are lacking in bass just a tad, so it might not have the quality sound you’re used to hearing from your iPod.
