Best 5 iPod Touch accesories for the Apple Touch 2G

iPod Touch 2G - accessories make it even better

The iPod Touch is a great device, that’s for sure. Whenever i get my hand on either the first or the second generation of iPod Touch I enjoy browsing with the help of that great touchscreen, play some of those games specially built for it or enjoy the audio quality it provides.

But, even if we’re talking about a good gadget, there are quite a bunch of accessories that will make it even better. That’s why i thought I’d write this little post where I’ll show you what i consider to be some of the best accessories for the iPod Touch 2G and actually the ones i’d want for my gadget.

The Altec Lansing T612 Digital Speaker set – usually $250, now only $185

Sound quality is very good on the iPod Touch, so good that if you combine it with a proper set of speakers, it can become the best road trip music source. That way, when you go on holidays, you can bring your music with you a get the party ready asap.

So, as I consider this accessory a must for every iPod Touch owner, i’m going to present you two options in this top. First of all we have the best price/performances solution: The Altec Lansing T612 . First of all, this device is compatible with nearly all the iPods on the market and the iPhone. It’s made by Altec Lansing, and that’s a big name in this industry. The 4 speakers (2 full-range drivers and 2 tweeters) provide the perfect balance between acustic performance and volume. Also, the device is pretty compact and good looking, as you can see in the picture bellow.

The Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter - now only $31.99 (usually retails for $49)

This is an FM modulator for your iPod Touch, that can easily broadcast the music on your ipod to you car’s radio, so it can be played via your vehicle’s audio system. It a very cheap and useful accessory. Also, is very use to set up and use and it drains the power needed from the gadget.

You might need a car charger for your latest generation iPod Touch too if you plan to use it for a longer period of time, but that won’t cost you more than a couple of bucks either.

Apple USB power adapter + USB cable

This set that contains a standard power adapter + an USB 2.0 cable for your iPod Touch comes in handy when you must charge your gadget but you have no computer around. Thus, you will have to use a standard power outlet. Both things won’t cost you more than 3-4 bucks. Here you can find more details about these things.

Harman Kardon Go + Play – great ultra-portable speakers

This one is the second speakers set in this top. Also made by a very big name in the industry, Harman Kardon, the Go+Play model has the advantage of being durable and portable ( 20 x 9 x 9.5 inches and 4 pounds). Looks like in the picture below and comes with lots of settings and tunnings. Also has a remote so you can control the music easier. Sound quality is incredible and i believe this Harman Kardon piece can even replace your home stereo system if needed.

The price tag on the Go+Play is a little high though, around $500. You can get it on Amazon for around $345 now. You can read more about the specs and about what can this device do here, and you can even see the buying conditions.

The 14 piece accessories set

Last but not least, you can find an accessories set with no less than 14 pieces, that include a leather case, a silicone case, a couple of protective screens, a tiny speaker, an audio kit, etc. All these for just $19.99 . I can’t say I’m a very big fan of sets, but this one provides good value for the money and might be the good and cheap way to get a bunch of useful things for your iPod. Here you can read more about this pack . And you can also find some other cool and hot iPod Touch covers in this post.

Of course, there are surely other accessories for the iPod Touch on the market, and lots of them. The above are only the ones I like , so, if you have something you consider mentioning, please leave a comment.
