There are thousands of accessories available for your iPod—from FM transmitters to portable docking speakers. However, some of the most popular accessories are devices that offer home-based iPod listening. Unfortunately, there is one major pitfall with most of these accessories: your iPod has to be tethered to the accessory.
Whether it is a docking speaker system or a wired connection to your home stereo system, your iPod, and thus music, is restricted by physical connections. So, unless you are willing to walk to and from your iPod every time you want to switch tracks, you will need an iPod remote control (Due to the fact that they totally compromise audio quality, we completely dismiss FM transmitters as an alternative).
Belkin, which is an expert in connectivity solutions for various electronics, has come up with the perfect device to solve this apparent dilemma. The device is called the Belkin TuneStage for iPod, and it completely does away with all those annoying wires. The TuneStage allows you to hold onto your iPod while listening to music through your home stereo system at a wireless range of up to 33 feet via Bluetooth technology.
By connecting the small TuneStage Transmitter to your iPod, your music is wirelessly streamed to the TuneStage Receiver connected to your stereo system. The receiver becomes an extension of your home stereo system and your lovable iPod turns into a wireless remote control.
Thanks to Bluetooth technology, the TuneStage for iPod offers many great features, and makes it one of the best Wireless iPod Accessories available. Unlike FM transmitters, the audio is transmitted digitally, so the sound quality is superb. Plus, the wireless range allows for use in multiple rooms, and because TuneStage offers plug-and-play installation, setup is extremely simple.
