Music gadgets for the holidays

Music gadgets are always great options for the holidays, and as today is Cyber Monday it’s a good time to start your shopping and look for deals. Bullz-Eye.com has some cool stuff in their holiday gift guide, including these headphones:

There are so many different headphones on the market these days – especially when every rapper who’s ever had a hit single has to have his own line – that it’s hard to tell one from the other, but V-MODA has been in the game long enough that you can feel safe knowing you’re investing in a quality product. Though they may not be as stylish as some of the other premium headphones, the Crossfade M-80 has a streamlined look, with military-level durability and the option to custom engrave the metal shields on either earcup. They’re also extremely comfortable thanks to an ergonomic steelflex headband that bends and twists to your every demand, as well as some really soft ear cushions that allow for long sessions without any of the usual discomfort. We’re hardly experts when it comes to sound quality, but the M-80 delivers a satisfying and robust listening experience that makes its price tag a little easier to swallow for audiophiles who refuse to compromise quality just to save a few bucks.

My iPod Still Rocks!

iPod Touch music.

It has been a while since I purchased my iPod. At first, I felt as if I was just riding the wave of trendy, must-have products. This was due in part to the fact that I was already a Mac fanatic. I would often argue endlessly with others about the pros of the Macintosh computer versus Windows. I thought that the iPod was merely a nice little gadget that played music.

How wrong I was. After discovering that this sleek little player can hold thousands of songs, I was convinced. My current iPod is a Classic model and has an 80 GB capacity. That is far more hard drive room that my first Apple laptop. My library now has more than 3,000 songs and is taking up a mere 23 GBs of space.

With the easy-to-use iTunes interface I was able to quickly and painlessly put my CD collection onto my iPod. My iPod allows me to create playlists. Depending on my mood, I can quickly surf to a suitable collection and enjoy the songs that I choose. I have playlists for work, hours at the gym and more.

And yes, the iPod is the perfect workout companion. Depending on the model, you can easily strap an iPod to your arm, or in the case of the new iPod Shuffles, clip it to your clothing. Having your favorite music during workouts makes it a fun time and the time fly by.

I have also installed a great way to play the music on my iPod when I’m in my car. Using an FM adapter, I simply plug my iPod into the adapter and play it through my car stereo. It’s great for road trips or simply running errands. The eBay iPod category is a great option if you are looking for this adapter. Other great accessories for the iPod include:
-iPod docking station
-iPod sports ear buds
-iPod charging station

The eBay iPod model selection is wide and varied, including models that will also play videos and store photos. I use my iPod’s video capabilities as a training tool for workouts. Additionally, you can download television programs and movies from the iTunes store and transfer them to the iPod. This means you can take your favorite programs on the go with you.

The iTunes store is a wealth of available music to load onto an iPod, no matter the model. Users can explore different genres of music, sample them and then buy and download them quickly and easily. There’s no better way to discover new music or find those old favorites.

Yes, I still love my iPod and there’s no reason you shouldn’t love yours as well. And, if you don’t have one, check out all the available models and you’ll soon be an iPod fan.
