Nowadays, iPod lets you arrange a party anywhere since it can be connected to a set of iPod speakers. They are small, but yet may you hear them booming the bass shaking up the place all around.
iPod speakers are available in two options: portable – you can carry them around, or home models – you cannot carry them around because they are bigger and heavier and therefore not handy. The home models also are not battery operated and work only when plugged into an electrical outlet.
On the contrary, the portable models are battery operated and are slightly larger than iPod Nano and some weigh only half an ounce! Although the sound quality of the portable iPod speakers are better than most computer speaker, they cannot compete with the home only or standalone iPod speakers which sound louder, crisper, and more booming. These iPod speakers are powered directly from an electrical outlet that provides much energy compared to a low voltage battery.
Below you may find best samples of the iPod speakers that could rock us out of our seat with their booming sound.

For Altec Lansing, the answer is still black.
Altec Lansing’s inMotion iM3 iPod speakers are made in the usual Apple white and, now, in black. It weighs around 15 to 16 ounces only and is sized just a bit larger than the iPod.
Altec Lansing is famous for creating sound system being able to produce sounds in different ranges from the highest pitch to the lowest bass.

- Apple’s Hi-Fi Shouts "Party!"
When iPod was released in 2001, there were possible to enjoy your iPod only listening to music through headphones. You wouldn’t have found any Apple-branded iPod speakers at that time. To satisfy the growing demand for off-headphones music playing, third party manufacturers and developers answered with their own iPod speakers.
In 2006, Apple realized that the time to create one of its own came and released the iPod Hi-Fi in February. Apple oriented on the high-end market and established the price of $349.
Apple states that Hi-Fi iPod speakers create a large soundstage and have a wide frequency range. So, Hi-fi iPod speakers represent not only portable speakers, they can sertve you as the only speaker for a small house or an apartment, replacing the huge speakers with separate woofer and sub-woofers. With the sound of these Hi-Fi iPod speakers, you can shout "Party!" anytime you want.
These speakers have marvelous look due to their neat design. They are designed in the traditional Apple white color. The speakers are out of the entire line of third party developed iPod speakers because of their size being bigger as compared to other portable iPod speakers and they are the heaviest weighing 15 ounces.
The power for Hi-Fi iPod speakers can be provided in two ways, AC or DC (six D-cell batteries), and they are supplied with a small, white remote control, and built-in handles to bring it anywhere you want.
