I'm gonna buy a new iPod and I was wondering if people could recommend me these products for it:

1. Earphones (That is if the iPod ones arn't good enough)

2. Portable Speakers (Hey, someone tell me if those Soundbugs r good!)

3. Speaker System (I think the iTrigue is the best in this category)

Any help is appreaciated and needed! 😀

1. Yes, the in-your-ear heaphones are not as good as over-your-ear headphones (Personal Opin'), get sound reducing Sony's here.
2. Portable speakers are questionable, many "portable" ones just don't carry good sound. There are these.
3. I prefer the Logitech line.

I like the Sony Fontopia for earphones, ( if you have the budget ) Sennenheiser HD600 for headphones. Portable speakers just wont give you the sound you need, so i won't reccomend any.

If you can, Sennheiser all the way. Or get ER-6 or ER-4's from etymotic research. Or get Grados. ANYTHING but those dinky earphones that come with the iPod... Your ears will thank you.

My thoughts exactly.

You have to be ready to lay down the big bucks for these things, though.

I have the Sony Fontopia EX-71s and they are great. They cost $50 but were worth it. You can even get white ones to match the iPod if you want to special order them from China.
