a great new speaker system for the iPod

Like the Sony Walkman a generation before it, the iPod has revolutionized the way we enjoy our music. Yes, there were mp3 players before the first version of the iPod but the elegant user interface, the controls, the style and of course, the iTunes software, are simply in a league of their own. I admit that it took a while for me to be convinced but now that I own an iPod (fifth generation nano), I can honestly say that I’m a true fan. I carry it with me now everywhere I go. workouts, jogging, yard work, on errands, you name it – the iPod is there every step of the way. It recently came in handy when I purchased the remastered Beatles Box set. I loaded all the albums into iTunes and had the whole collection with me to enjoy every minute of the day. It would have been impossible to enjoy the whole collection if I didn’t have it conveniently available on my iPod. Life doesn’t stop for you to sit and listen to a box set’s worth of tunes on your living room stereo system. So, as an alternative, I take my tunes with me. It’s a no brainer.
But there are times when I want to experience music without having these earbuds constantly stuck in my ears. So, I’ve been looking into getting an iPod-compatible speaker system for the house. The recently released Yamaha PDX-60 is currently on the top of my list of affordable docking systems. The thing I like about the Yamaha system is the proprietary yAired technology which allows the iPod to be “docked” wirelessly. So essentially, I can have my iPod in my hands and have the speakers positioned elsewhere in the room. I’ve checked it out at a local retailer and was pretty impressed with the full, rich sound coming from such a compact system. I’m going to have to figure out how to leave some not-so-subtle hints for my wife so that she’ll end up getting me one for Christmas!!
