Just got a new Ipod. What are the must have accessories for this thing? I was thinking about the Itrip or something like it, its just that the audio quality sucks when you do that. Also, can anyone suggest some good headphones that will stay in me ear while working out? Price really isn't an issue, just something that will stay in.

my "really want" item is this


my "damn, thats a smart idea" item is this

(its a battery pack, you put a 9v battery in there, and as long as you have some charge left, you can get like 8 hours of extra life

and my "this could really be worth $100" item is this

an alarm clock

and these are the headphones i use every day @ the gym

just be sure to get some q-tips in you shit every couple days (if you don't already use q-tips)
they come in the white pictured and in a black, which is what i have
i didnt' want the white "mug-me-now" headphones for when i'm on the metro etc

I need to find an FM transmitter/charger that is one in the same. All I've seen is the monster cable one, and that's 80 bucks.

if your car has a cassette adaptor
its much better than an fm modulator (at least in my mind)

I'm debating if I should return my Video Ipod for a Nano since they Nike makes that sleeve for working out. There just isn't much for the full size version if anything. Problem is I'm not sure if I can get it returned sinced it was engraved

Personal opinion from a guy who sells those things, it's not. Spend the extra $50 a get some JBL onstage speakers or the mm50 from logitech. The sound quality on those things is garbage.

Also shitty sound.

I've heard excellent things about the Kensington one, they sell it at the Apple Store, but it's also $80. You're probably not going to find a combo for much less.

You can't return it at the store, but you may be able to return it to the web/telesale people.

you dont get it for the speaker

I don't have an iPod, but my bro got me a pair of Shure e4c headphones to use with my PSP. I never thought earbuds would be worth $180 (yes, you can get them online for $180 - check cNet), but these things are fucking sweet. The bass response is great and you can't hear a damn thing outside when they're in.

12/26/2005 1:23:16 AM

How well do they stay in?

12/26/2005 12:21:46 PM

they stay in like glue...the e4c have about 10 different styles of caps for the buds, so you can size them for fit and comfort

12/26/2005 2:18:48 PM

you don't want to spend 180 on your gym earbuds

trust me

I picked up some sony ones the wrap around the ear. They stayed in ok. Just gotta find an armband for a fullsize Ipod for squat days and dl days

12/26/2005 4:03:47 PM

ah, I missed that part about the phones neing for workouts. I'd have to agree that you wouldn't want to use the Shure's for workouts...I'd be worried about damaging the drivers inside. However, I have gotten good use out of my sony over the ear type phones - got them for about 20 bucks at Best Buy a couple of years ago...however, get the Shure's for any other time

I ordered the Kensington FM transmitter off the rec's here and reviews elsewhere. Found it for 45 dollars after rebate on Amazon, should anyone else want to get one.

OMFG!!!

"eMagin, which makes video display products for military and industrial uses, has unveiled the EyeBud headset, a new wearable display for video iPods. The EyeBud, which displays video in front of one eye, can provide the feeling of watching video on a 105-inch display from 12 feet away, according to the company. “Suddenly you’ve got this big-screen, movie-screen, home-theater experience, wherever you are,” said Gary Jones, eMagin’s president and CEO."

not only that but you get the cool cyborg, mad-scientist look to you.

1/2/2006 11:06:37 AM

^ hell yeah - they need to add a "borg" laser-pointer thing to that...

1/2/2006 11:07:34 AM

because portable video headsets have never come out before.

oh wait, they have and they suck.

And who the hell wants to watch shit quality video on a bigger "screen".

And it's 600 bucks.

And you look like a fucking idiot wearing it.

1/2/2006 3:32:17 PM

i would probably get one if it was cheaper
