iPod travel speakers from Kensington : Kensingto FX500 iPod speakers

 

Kensington have added to their range of audio accessories with this set of travel speakers, suitable forany media player with a standard jack socket but very obviously aimed at the iPod market.

The Kensington FX500 "speaker to go" is a slightly bigger than an A5 sheet of paper at around 150x200mm, around 35mm thick and weighing 400g. The unit has a soft finish that should be fairly robust and is reminiscent of a small zip-up folio case. From...

Review: Kensington FX 500 Speaker To Go

 

Now Kensington has released FX 500 ($50), which for $20 more changes three primary features the FX 300 design: you now get iPod screen and control access through a medium-thickness clear plastic panel, a second speaker, and considerable additional...

Ultimately, making FX 500 bigger didn't make it better in most regards, and they also made it more expensive. As we said in our prior FX 300 review, all that case needed to be legitimately good for its $30 price was iPod screen and control access, but...
