iPod Earphones

There is a variety of iPod earphones on the market that will transform your iPod into something completely different. These iPod earphones provide isolated sound of up to 40db, allowing you to enjoy your music to the fullest.

These earphones isolate any background noise that interferes with your music. What was noticed was the extreme noise loss from the outside world. The wonderful thing about iPod and the earphones is that the person sitting next to you will not even know that you are listening to Shania Twain.

What these actually are, are little loudspeakers for your ears, held either close to your ear or worn in your ear. Common forms of earphones include the hand-held receiver, or headphone, which is one or a couple earphones held together by a band over your head.

iPod earphones are in the style of an ear-bud that rely on Neodymium transducers, which is a rare magnet from the earth. This is important in enhancing the frequency response and sound quality. This is five times powerful than other headphones. Rewind, play, pause, fast-forward by the touch of just a few buttons. There is a “Hold” button that allows you to lock the iPod so no buttons can be pressed accidentally. Another advantage is that the remote can be clipped to your shirt, collar or lapel for easy access. These accessories work with 15 GB, 30 GB or 10 GB iPod dock connectors.

A new pair of earphones on the market today includes 9mm sound drivers thanks to the latest audio technology. This will provide you with superb bass response and clear treble sound. These state of the art earphones come in 3 sizes of ear-filling noise to provide with the best fit possible.

This definitely enhances comfort and sound quality. The various shapes of the earphones provide a tight fit to bring the music closer to you so it makes you feel like you are in your favorite dance club. These ear pieces and 9mm sound drivers combined give you a strong bass signal. This is ultra sound and comfort and lets it take you on an experience of a lifetime. These earphones are at a great price and are available at stores where iPods are sold.

There are other earphones that stomp the original IPod earbuds in terms of comfort and sound. Even after being compared to more expensive earphones, these still top the cake rather well. Although big brand earphones produce wider stereo separations and clearer sounds, these earphones still offer a very appealing and satisfying mix of sound and blocking of the world outside for a very attractive price.

For the best sound quality and noise reduction, find the best earphones for you, but beware, there are imitations out there as well, and the sound quality they offer won’t come anywhere close to the real thing.

iPod Manual

The iPod is the new technology that enables users to have their music and videos with them at all times. With it’s easy to understand interface this is an easy tool to use, but be certain that what’s inside stays true to Apple’s on-edge reputation – this device looks tame, but it’s a monster that you need to learn to control. The iPod user manual is the easiest way to do this, unless you can do it all on you own without any difficulty.

Getting stared with the iPod: This device works with iTunes, which is included in the iPod, this enables you to organize your CD collection so you can have it all stored on your iPod for on the go listening. For more information consult your iPod user guide, but this is only a basic user manual showing what the official manual has to offer all iPod users.

The iPod allows you to transfer music: when iTunes opens it will automatically transfer your selected songs to the iPod (this is once the device is connected to you personal computer of course). Once the transfer is complete you will be prompted that it is safe to disconnect the device.

The iPod allows you to play music: use the iPod’s scroll wheel to select and browse your list of songs, then hit the play button to enjoy your selection.

The user manual will show you what the iPod is able to do, how you can connect it to your personal computer, turning your iPod on and off, disabling iPod buttons, using the iPod controls, selecting your choice and creating play lists, changing the volume while listening to your music, using the Apple iPod remote, transferring data between two devices, updating your iPod’s address book and calendar, changing setting, changing the battery and updating software from your personal computer.

You might think that there is no need for you to look at your iPod manual, but think again. There are a lot of questions surrounding iPods and the Tips and Trouble shooting section of the manual will clear everything up for you. Things that will be explained in the manual are urgent messages and details you can use when you get stuck with your iPod, like: What are the system requirements for iPod to Macintosh connectivity? My iPod won’t switch on or respond, what do I do? My iPod does not want to play music, what might be wrong? When I connect my iPod to my computer nothing happens, why? The FireWire port cover came off, HELP! My remote isn’t working, do I need to replace it?

These are things that will happen to anyone’s iPod and it will always help to be prepared. I suggest you read the entire manual before attempting to use your new iPod. Let’s face it, it’s always better to be prepared.

iPod Battery

When purchasing an iPod, which is an easy to use device that enables you to have your music and videos on you at all times, one of the main concerns is the battery life.

This battery is rechargeable and should very rarely give you any hassles. You just plug it in and off you go. If you do need to these batteries are fully replaceable and Apple will even replace the engraving and all other features on your casing. Even thought the casing is not designed to be opened and is able to be by certain third parties, so you could take your iPod to them as well.

The guarantee on your iPod is one year and does include the battery. You also have the option of requesting a 2 year guarantee which will also include the battery. There are some models of iPod, the earlier ones, where the batteries have stopped working after a shorter amount of time. These Ion Lithium batteries are only good for about 300 to 500 charge / discharge cycles. Testing done on Lithium Ion batteries show that it has not been fully matured and there are continuous studies being done to improve and extend the battery life. These batteries also prefer not to be fully discharged when possible.

Remember that there is no fool proof method to ensure that your iPod battery will never degrade. This would be impossible, that same as it would be for laptops, cell phones or any other device using the same kind of battery. Depending on certain environmental factor, charging methods, and how often it is used each person’s iPod battery will degrade in a different period of time and to varying degrees.

Apple’s iPod battery can allow it’ users from 10 hours to 20 hours playing time depending on which model iPod you have. This is also influenced by various external factors that have not been taken into account.

In order for Apple to consider their guarantee to be in affect for a defective iPod battery, the capacity of the battery to have an electrical charge will have to have diminished by 50 percent or more from the original length specified. If these conditions do not apply, then the problem will have to be checked by an Apple service center.

To make the most out of your iPod’s battery life you should make note of a few things. Keep updated with the latest iPod software at all times, set the controls to the Hold mode, when the player is not in use. This will stop it from accidentally switching on inside your bag or pocket. Also be sure to keep your iPod at room temperature. Do not leave your iPod in you car or in direct sun light for long periods of time. Also if your iPod has been exposed to cold temperatures, first let it warm up before you switch it on. You can also turn the back light down on your iPod screen as this does use up a lot of battery power.
