iPod docks with speakers are the easy way to turn your iPhone or iPod into a high quality audio system. Also called speaker docks, iPod speakers and iPhone speakers. Your iPod or iPhone can be turned into a home HiFi system with the addition of a speaker dock. Most speaker docks charge your iPod or iPhone as they play, and many come with supplied with remote controls. Some speaker docks have an audio input connection that gives the option of connecting with PC, Mac and other non-iPod MP3 players that have a headphone socket. Important Note: iPods released since Sept 2008 (e.g. Touch 2nd Gen, 4th Gen iPod Nano and iPod Classic 120 Gigabyte, iPhone 3g and onwards) have an updated dock connector that means older revisions of speaker dock may not be able to charge these newer models of iPod/iPhone. Older docks should play music from these newer models with no problem. The problem with charging is due to Apple removing support for 12v (firewire) charging on these new models of iPod/iPhone. Only 5v (USB) charging is supported on these new models. |
