Insignia Boombox with Apple iPod Dock
More and more doctors are arriving at the conclusion that prolonged use of earphones can cause ear damage and permanent hearing loss. They suggest that, whenever possible, like when we are at home, we should listen to our favorite music using regular speakers. There are plenty of them available but one good option is the Insignia Boombox with Apple iPod Dock.
A good number of users and reviewers aver that this speaker system with an almost unknown brand delivers great audio. It has 2 full-range 3-inch speakers with a system power of 5 watts per channel.
Most iPod models featuring a dock connector are compatible with the Insignia Boombox. While these are docked, their batteries are charged. In addition to iPods, and auxiliary in-line enables the connection of MP3 players, CD players, as well as other audio devices.
Apart from playing iPods and external MP3 and CD players, the Boombox has its own built-in single capacity CD player that can play 3″ and 5″ CDs as well as CD-Rs and CD-RWs. It also has an AM/FM radio receiver with 10 preset stations for AM and another 10 for FM. To improve reception, a telescoping FM antenna is included.
Right below the dock, a backlit LCD displays Boombox settings. And just in case your roommate does not share your taste in music, a jack for a headphone is included. A 14-key remote comes with the unit allowing you to operate it from across the room.
The Insignia Boombox connects to any electric outlet via an AC/DC switching adapter, but may also be powered by eight size C batteries.
