Griffin Technology Evolve iPod Docking Station with Detachable Wireless Speaker Units

On the whole docking stations, whilst becoming evermore compact, are single solution units meaning that if you want to listen to your iPod in another room you have a choice, either uproot the entire docking station for relocation or disconnect your iPod and revert to your headphones – Griffin Technology’s Evolve iPod Docking Station, however, in offering detachable, wireless speaker units offers a refreshingly simple solution to the issue of remote playback.

Featuring an unfussy, sleek and unpretentious design that compliments the various iPod forms beautifully, the Evolve comes with wireless 4 inch stereo speaker units, offering a maximum power output of 12 watts RMS, that can be relocated at will, each of which offers up to ten hours of endurance at distances up to 150 feet on a single charge of their integral lithium-ion batteries.

Complimented by a remote boasting the same range, even changing tracks, playback modes and the EQ settings from another room is as simple as a button press, thus allowing your iPod to be heard in the room of your choice without the need to rely on separate docking stations.
