Belkin TuneCast 3 FM Transmitter for MP3 Players

Really useful little gadget, 2008-08-19
I was looking for an alternative to the £150 conversion to my car to take an MP3 player. I already have several devices that play MP3s and I'd heard of these FM transmitters. I plumped for the cheapest I could find (the Tunecast 3) to try it out.

In the box you get the Tunecast 3, an in-car 12-volt power lead, a mounting bracket and a manual. You don't really need the manual, the device is quite simple.

Unlike many people who have reviewed this product here, I got a brilliant signal in both a Citroen C2 and a Ford Fiesta and the sound quality was at least as good as any other FM station. I guess it depends on the car and the music player though. I didn't need the mounting bracket and just left the player and transmitter in the glove box.

It really comes into its own when you are moving from car to car and want MP3 capability in all the cars without too much expense. All in all the Tunecast3 is a really useful little gadget.

Apple iPod nano 4GB silver

Fantastic, 2008-09-04
I love my nano ipod. I have downloaded films from the public domain and video clips from holidays. It is great to be able to show friend photographs and video clips from the ipod. Normally they would have to see videos on a TV screen or bring along a photo album.

Although the technical support could have been better from Apple. I had to phone about 10 times. They asked me to return the ipod as it was not working correctly. They returned it and said there was nothing wrong. After phoning another few times, I took it in person to an Apple store, who sent it to be completely replaced. Then the new one worked no problems. It was hard work at the begining because Apple technical support just seemed to have me going around in circles. However it was worth it in the end.

A word of advice -get all the technical problems sorted out in the first three months, as that is when the free support runs out !

Great for an iphone - but not for the iphone 3G, 2008-07-26
If you want a genuine Apple product for an iPhone that includes a power supply, this is a great product, but not suitable for the new iPhone 3G, which has a slightly fatter base (yes, it's bum does look big in it!) and therefore does not fit, unless you are prepared to modify it with a stanley knife.

JVC HA-FX34-BE - In Ear Marshmallow Headphones - Black

Fantastic earphones for the budget minded, 2008-11-10
I first bought a set of these headphones a year or two ago, and they have only just worn out despite thousands of hours of use. The secret is the high quality rubber-coated flexible cable which all good earphones come with nowadays. This coating allows you to bend, twist and coil the wire with virtually zero fatigue, giving the headphones an incredibly long lifespan. Another excellent feature of the cable is the length, which allows a reasonably tall person to listen without feeling any uneccesary tugging on their ears.

The ear plugs themselves are made of a durable, water resistant and sound-absorbing foam which becomes more malleable (squishy) as it warms up in your ear. This allows a very comfortable fit which moulds to your ear, but which will return to its original shape when not in use. Since the foam fits your ear canal perfectly, it excludes most outside noise and hence the quality sound is naturally increased. Even at very low volume settings (i rarely needed to set my Creative ZEN 4GB MP3 Player above 50%), these efficient headphones will provide the listener with clear sound, saving on valuable battery life! Fantastic value, and just as good as any £50 earphones i have tried too.

Pretty Useful, 2008-11-03
I think these used to be £60-£65, and even at £45 could be a hint cheaper.
I bought this recently for my 2g Touch - mainly wanted a dock and mains charger (which I still believe should have been supplied with the ipod itself, as it did with my last ipod).
I was looking at the ped3 stand by thought out - but for the extra few pounds you get a composite video connector of good quality and another (groan) remote. Notably the usb mains connector comes with a uk plug, and two other types of two pin plugs which could be useful for travel, and the connecting usb lead is the same as the one with the ipod (so you have a spare)
This universal dock design is a bit long in the tooth now, no doubt at some point it will get updated, but I really like its understated simplicity. Its the same dock you will see on display in an Apple store. Sturdy and sits quietly in a desk corner. You can connect the mains lead to the dock and a stereo lead to your speakers/amp, and not have to fuss too much with leads. I am slightly concerned that the ipod is held upright really only by the connecting plug, and a small projection from behind where it sits. If you gave it shove it could get damaged, but then you shouldn't be shoving it anyway.
The documentation is a bit sparse, and using the video connection, although seemingly straightforward,
has a couple of minor issues; for one my ipod needs to be put in the cradle after connecting to the tv, or it doesn't realise it's been connected, and doesn't output through the cable. Once you realise this, it's fine; but I wasted 45 mins trying to work out what was going wrong. Also I think the ipod software needs a bit of work, to make the experience more logical and smoother. There isn't any front row type experience on the ipod, in fact it hasn't got any kind of menu. Considering apple designed all the products I'm talking about, an easy to follow interface as part of the ipod system software would be more appropriate. Perhaps one of the updates will sort it out. The remote functions could have a bit more depth aswell.
Overall I recommend it; I can connect my ipod and dock to the tv and wirelessly stream BBC Iplayer or youtube in pretty good quality; I have a standalone charger and dedicated remote, and more importantly my desk looks a lot tidier without some monstrous overdesigned dock straddling it.

Intempo InFusion iPod Docking Station With DAB & FM

No complaints here..., 2009-01-07
I'm really impressed by my Intempo InFusion - I was looking for a good-looking integrated iPod player and DAB radio for my bedroom and this definitely fits the bill for me. It's really compact but the sound quality from my iPod is brilliant. Fortunately I have really good, clear DAB reception too - I think that the fact that I live on a top floor flat on the side of a hill probably helps with that. It picks up about 25 DAB stations with a good signal. The alarm and sleep functions are handy too.

Sony MDR-EX71SLW Stereo Earphones - White

Nice, ideal for iPod, but needs more bass, 2008-09-28
Have been keeping an eye on these earphones for quite a while and finally bought them since the earphones coming with my iPod really tortured my ears and I couldn't endure any more. As long as I plugged these Sony earbuds, they gave the music that I've been listening a new style! Matching the price and the extension cable gives flexibility. The only thing is that the bass quality is a bit of a shame, could be better. But I accept this since they are only EARBUDS, what else could be demanded?
