I recently had the opportunity to check out a couple sets of iPhone headphones from Maximo, and yes they fit (without an adapter) in the recessed jack on the original iPhone without any problems. I was sent two sets of headphones to review, the iMetal IP-HS2 Isolation headphones and the iMetal IP-HS1 Stereo headphones.

I know how you feel. With your mouse, USB hubs, Boba Fett coffee mug (full of rubber bands, not coffee, of course) and Army of Darkness figures, who has room for speakers and an iPod dock? Well, rejoice. iHome has announced the iH69 and iH70, speaker systems for Macs and PCs. Now, iPod users can dock, charge, play and sync their iPods directly to their computer via their speakers, providing better quality sound and functionality with no extra wires, cables or space necessary.

Creative Labs has started shipping its TravelSound speaker setup for the iPod Nano to the US market. The TravelSound speaker setup utilizes two speaker channels into one body. This speaker baby is powered by li-ion battery and could give out approximately 15 hours of good use.

The TravelSound sets itself apart from other speakers by meshing two channels into a single body, in which the Nano docks flush. Each of these channels gives out a maximum 700mW of RMS power and boasts of frequency response of 180Hz to 20KHz. If its capabilities in producing high quality sound is not enough to convince you in considering this speaker for your iPods, its tiny size which allows you to carry it around with easy or put it in your purses or luggage, just might make want to snag this speaker dock.

The TravelSound speaker system also comes with USB 2.0 port which allows for synching your Nano to your Mac, that is aside from charging your Nano as well.

You can snag one of this speaker system for $80. But make sure that your iPods are 3rd generation Nanos as it will only work with those models because of its odd shape.

A few weeks back I decided it was time to start shopping for some new speakers. My current Altec Lansing set was purchased at a clearance price, and it was a great deal considering it came with four speakers and a subwoofer. But at the time, I was just happy to have some decent speakers.

This time around I was looking to spend a bit more cash and the only requirements I had were that I wanted a 2.1 stereo set and I would prefer that they matched my current setup, which, for the most part, includes a white Macbook with an external display, keyboard and mouse.
