…And that’s a very good thing! I don’t know too many people who miss their bulky home audio system or the joys of hauling around an 18” boom box on trips to the beach. My pocket-sized MP3 player definitely makes me thankful for how far personal audio systems have come over the years.
And not only have the audio players become cooler, so have the accessories! Here are a couple of audio accessories that will make you wonder how you ever lived without them.
Docking stations: MP3 docking stations let you turn your small, little MP3 player into a booming home stereo system. It sure beats all the hefty and expensive components you used to have to buy. They are also super convenient. Instead of having to mess with a bunch of wires, you just set your MP3 player into the cradle of the docking station and you are ready to go. Most docking stations will allow you to recharge your MP3 player and play music at the same time. They also typically provide better sound than your average plug-in portable speakers. For example, some of the iLuv docking stations provide 3D surround sound.
Portable Speakers: While they can’t rival the sound of your average docking station, portable MP3 speakers are a great way to take your music with you. When headphones won’t do, travel speakers can let you share your music without carrying around a lot of bulky speakers and loose wires. Today, most portable speakers can fit in your pocket and are designed to run off very little energy. And for such a tiny package, the quality of music they can put out will surprise you. They are perfect for the beach, parks, hotel rooms, offices, dorm rooms, and kids’ rooms.
Headphones: Back in the day headphones came in black and covered 80 percent of your head. Now they are small enough to slip into your pocket and come in more colors and designs than a box of Crayolas. Today’s headphones can provide deep, rich sound despite their small size—making it even easier to enjoy top quality music anywhere.
But if you miss the crackle of the airwaves or need something that can get beat up without you worrying about it, then a simple, inexpensive portable radio may be all you need.
