JVC NX-PN7 Dual iPod Docking Station Offers Dual iPod Recharging with AM/FM Tuner

If both you and your partner own iPods then this new NX-PN7 Dual iPod Docking Station from JVC may be of interest as, not only will it recharge two iPods at once, but it also offers playback from both iPods (though not simultaneously) courtousy of the units integral speaker units – quite who’s iPod is playing at any single point in time, however, could be a matter of contention.

Measuring 13” in width, the JVC NX-PN7 Dual iPod Docking Station sports two illuminated strips, one under each docked iPod, which can be lit in any one of nine colours – an interesting feature, certainly, but somewhat trivial non-the-less – as well as an integral digital clock, AM/FM radio tuner and a remote.

Whilst the NX-PN7 is a handy gadget if you happen to want to charge two iPods at once, we really cannot see any other particular bonus of having a docking station that accepts dual devices yet will only play one and has, certainly as far as we can gather, no cross mixing capabilities. Still, if you are looking to introduce another gadget into the home that’s sure to serve as a basis for friction as each try to make their iPod the active device we don’t doubt that JVC’s NX-PN7 could be worth the briefest of considerations. That said, if you can live without a dual ipod docking station then, from an aesthetic standpoint alone, you may be interested in these somewhat more desirable single iPod docking stations as previously featured on TFTS:
