Audio Speakers

(MP3 Speakers / iPod Speakers / iPod Docks / Portable speakers / PC Speakers)

Portable Speakers

Desc:

Most portable audio devices do not come with built-in speakers. Portable speakers are compact-size speakers that could be carried around easilly and attached to portable audio devices like MP3 players, walkmans and portable CD players although they could also be attached to non-portable items like computers, VCD and DVD players. They make it possible to listen to portable audio devices without having to use the earphones and allow many people to listen to music simultaneously. Most are powered by 1 to 4 batteries and could deliver sound from 0.5 to 3 watts per channel. Some also come with AC/DC adaptors or DC power jack for optional AC/DC powering.
Even though you would be able to enjoy better music through the earphones, it is sometimes better to give your ears a break and listen through the speakers. Besides being able to share the music with your folks and friends, they also maximize your productivity at home allowing you to tidy-up or read books without having to carry the portable player around.
Portable speakers are generally pretty economical and are recommended buys for users of MP3 players for convenience, comfort and health reasons.

Info:

* Portable speakers generally deliver the worst sound quality but they allow you to listen and share music with others virtually anywhere.
* They are very affordable, very compact and are nice-to-have items on your working desk at home.
* It is better for your ears not to always listen through the earphones so switching to speakers is better for your health too.

General-purpose speakers
(Computer Speakers / PC Speckers / MP3 Speakers / Audio Stereo Speakers)

General-purpose compact-size speakers are AC/DC powered speakers that normally come as a pair and could playout music in stereo. They are normally used together with computers or attached to portable audio devices like mp3 players and portable CD players. The sound quality is normally better than portable speakers and could range anywhere from 1 to 12 watts per channel. Most general-purpose speakers deliver pretty good treble sound but deliver weak bass sound (with the exception of the best) because they are short of a woofer unit. Nevertheless they are extremely popular due to low-price, sound quality, ease of positioning (no headache of where to position the sub-woofer) and setting up (no wire clutters unlike 4.1 or 5.1 speakers).

Info:

* Most computer sound cards these days come ready for surround-sound (2 pairs of speakers) setup. Even if you already have 1 pair of speakers, it does not harm to get another pair of general-purpose speakers and place it on your desk (or else where) for playing compiled music from your mp3 players. When needed, the 2nd pair of general-purpose speakers could act as rear-speakers (requires an extension cable) when you wish to view a good DVD movie with great surround-sound effects from your computer. This way, your room would remain very neat and tidy with no wire clutter most of the time and you also would be able to get maximum benefit from your portable player/s without having to comit a lot of money.

iPod Docking Speakers

Desc:

iPod dock speaker systems are special speakers designed for use with Apple iPod Nano and Apple iPod Video MP3 players. They normally come with built-in charging system. Some iPod Docks also come with remote control.
iPod docks are general more expensive than ordinary speaker system but they look aesthically better and provide you with more convenience. Just place your iPod on the dock and you could charge, listen to music and control remotely from your couch. When it is time to go outdoor, grap the iPod and earphones and out you go.

Info:

NOTE:
DreamGear Portable Speakers are not docking speakers but speakers with iPod Nano custom bracket.

Look out for quality speakers from this world-class multimedia manufacturer that has been nailing excellent awards year after year ever since it dominated the PC sound-card market with its Sound Blaster audio cards.

Info:

2.1 Speakers

Desc:

As with general-purpose stereo speakers, 2.1 speakers, which come with an extra sub-woofer, serve the same purpose but delivers better music with more powerful bass output. They are more expensive but also deliver louded and much more powerful music which general-purpose speakers cannot produce. Many 2.1 speakers also have pretty high Sound-Noise-Ratio (SNR) of >=80dB and could deliver noise-free music. What is the disadvantage of 2.1 speakers when compared to 2.0 speakers? An extra large-size sub-woofer making it difficult to position in space-constrained areas. Also the bass sounds produced is not really independent stereo sounds (sub-woofer produces bass range of sounds) unlike the bass sounds of 2.0 speakers. Some users also prefer 2.0 speaker as they normally produce better mid-range sound than 2.1 speakers which are best for producing great low-pitch (Bass) sound.

Info:

Wireless Speakers

Desc:

Positioning wired speakers could be a real headache (especially for surround-sound systems) because the wires would cause create some clutters and normally would destroy the aesthetic looks for most rooms unless you spend a huge amount renovating your room to conceal out the messy speaker wires. Wireless speakers are the solutions to these problems. Though they are more expensive and normally would deliver slightly lower-quality sound, they are worth the investment if they solve your speakers positing problem without destroying the aesthetic looks.
