iPods are great little gadgets. Accessories make them even better.
Thanks to the huge popularity of iPods a major side industry of ipod accessories has appeared on the listening scene. Just about any type of accessory is available - from external speakers to car adaptors to remote controls. Most of them are quite reasonably priced and all add useful functions to your iPod.
Since iPods are all about sound, we will look at the most important add-on accessory - replacement earbuds and external speakers.
Earbuds
Apple supplies an adequate set of headphones known as 'earbuds'. As their name implies, these tiny devices are worn in the ear, but since all ears are not created equal, there is no way that one set of earbuds will suit everyone.
Comfort is a big factor in earbuds. If they aren't comfortable you'll hate using them. Sound is another big one. The earbuds that are supplied with your iPod may sound OK, but try out a better set and let your ears go 'WOW!'
So - the first accessory you should consider for your new iPod is a new set of earbuds.
For comfort, look for earbuds that are made from a soft, expandable foam. These will fit snugly and adapt to any shape of ear. A snug fit will also extend bass response.
As for sound, the general rule is that more money will give you better sound. How much money? Run of the mill earbuds will cost between $25 and $50, with high-end models starting at $100. You can spend more than $300 for a superb set of buds that will satisfy the most demanding audiophile.
If you are uncomfortable with in-the-ear phones, you can get a set of over-the-ear headphones. These are slightly impractical for portable use because they can easily slip off your head if you bend down or go jogging, but for commuting or at-home use they are a good alternative.
Speakers
You will often want to let others hear what you are listening to, and the best way to do this is with external speakers. Portable speakers are lightweight and operate on batteries so they can be used anywhere. These small speakers often have a limited sound, but some of the more expensive models sound surprisingly good.
Speakers require a lot more power than earbuds or headphones so if you are going to use them a lot be sure to use rechargeable batteries.
Depending on the model, portable speakers can fold up into a tiny package for carrying. The largest portable speakers transform your ipod into a mini-boombox sized package - light enough and small enough for most locations.
If you are looking for an alternative to a home stereo, an iPod connected to a set of home speakers is a great solution. Compared with portable speakers, home speakers are bigger, with a correspondingly bigger sound, and draw their power from an AC outlet. They can be integrated with a docking station that recharges your ipod while allowing you to listen to music, audio books, even the daily paper.

Speakers for your Zune
Microsoft has done an outstanding job when it comes to audio quality in the Zune. According to Joshua Topolsky writing for Engadget, "Zune players have always been known for their stellar audio." But then he goes on to say, "Forget about using the included earbuds -- they're pretty much junk. When we tested with decent in-ear buds, however, we thought the quality was rather excellent."
So what about external speaker docks? They range in quality from smokin' to broken. Let's take a quick look at the top three.
Kicker ZK500 Zune Speaker Dock
One of Kicker's most powerful MP3 docking stations on the market, the zK500 lets you get more out of your Zune than ever before. Bass and treble adjustment allow users to enjoy their music the way they want. The big, bumping speakers, 5-inch woofers, and 40-watt stereo amplifiers deliver the kind of crisp, powerful sound you expect from a Kicker product. Kicker's patent-pending 6-inch square reflex subwoofer delivers a dynamic bass response unmatched by other MP3 docking stations.
User Review:
I just purchased the zkicker 500 and have had it for a week. It is an amazing product. The sound is extremely clear and crisp, better than anything else I own. Don't worry about turning this one up. At volume level 16/40 It shakes the pictures on my wall. Even at higher volumes there is no distortion. Bass is clean, it puts outs out a lot of bass. Not as much as your 15" sub in your car, but enough. I have never seen a boombox so small that puts out this much sound. It has +-9 on the base and treble settings to make it do what you want with your music. The remote fully controls the zune very accurately. It connects to your entertainment system through componant video. It displays movies great and adds to your sound system. When I watch movies I hook it up to get a larger range of sound. I recomend this product. I would even recomend this product even if you don't have a zune, it has auxillary input for any sound device. It is worth every penny!

Altec Lansing inMotion iM414 Portable Audio System
With its sleek and modern design, the iM414 is designed to complement your contemporary lifestyle. Backed with enough power to deliver full-range, full-bodied sound in the kitchen, living room, or bedroom, the iM414 runs on three AAA batteries (not included) that can power the unit for up to 24 hours. For those times when you don't want to worry about battery life, the iM414 includes an AC adapter for nonstop playback functionality.
User Review:
The im414 is a fabulous attribute to my Zune. The sound is amazing for such a small and inexpensive item. It is very easy to use. I love that fact that my satallite radio plugs in to the im414, eliminating the need to use a stereo amp to enjoy that radio in my house. It is also extrememly portable for use with the Zune. (The satallite radio needs an antena to be moved with it.)

Zlive Speaker System and Docking Station for Zune
The ZLive NS108B speaker system makes sharing your music a snap. This system connects to all Zune players through the certified connection. You also can connect to any MP3 player, cell phone, or video game system through the line input. Control your music from across the room with the remote, and enjoy room-filling sound from the acoustically calibrated stereo speakers.
User Review:
After looking all over for a Docking Station for the new Zunes I just bought my two girls for Christmas, I finally found this through Amazon (everything is for I-Pods ... oyyyy). I did find another type of docking station at Best Buy, which was $99, but read bad reviews on the Internet. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound and volume for such a little box. As other people have mentioned, it is not a Bose stereo that you will use for a large party, but definately will serve your purpose for a kitchen or bedroom. My girls absolutely loved them. I actually paid $59.99 right before Christmas, but now see they are $47.99, which I am bummed since I can't return since they are open, being used and would spend the difference of savings on shipping back. However, I think they are worth the price - $59.99 or $47.99.

How many cubic in. do I need for my speaker box ?
I am looking for tips on how to calculate how many cubic inches I would need for building a speaker box. Actually a home made boombox in a way. For example, two 5 1/4 two way mids with one subwoofer that is also 5 1/4 ? What size of box would I need to obtain optimal sound with clean bass ? Any suggestions ?
Well to be honest a 5 1/4" speaker isn't a subwoofer. It's not even a woofer.
A speaker that's between 6-8" inches is a woofer and anything bigger than 10" is a subwoofer.
For such small speakers you could get away with between 0.25cu.ft. and 0.75cu.ft.
