I never thought I'd say this...

I’m getting my father an ipod for Christmas, and I’m looking for accessories to go with it. I’ve come to rely on Meh as a great source for holiday gift-giving (last year’s mini-quadcopter was a hit), so it is here that I come to ask: do you have any speaker docks?

- @PlacidPenguin yes? I haven’t been the most active here… I wish they would sell speaker docks again.

  The ATM has numerous issues.
  
  Including but not limited to: Where’s the money dispensing from?
  Why’s the screen so small?
  How does it physically make sense? You can see into the store from the pic and it’s not there.

- @PlacidPenguin Maybe that’s why he had no $$$ and needed to put it … put it … put it on his bill.

Morningsave has some BT ear buds. That’s close to a speakerdock.

If you give your dad a player and some nice headphones, he can exist as if that the rest of humanity does not exist when he wishes.

They didn’t make a lot of speaker docks with lightning connectors- you may be able to buy an older one and then get an adapter. Or just keep it plugged in, buy any speaker with an aux in, and use a cable. Not quite as sleek but this should work just as well and you have a much larger selection. Keep an eye on Morningsave- they sometimes have a good selection of speakers.

I just saw that the new nanos have bluetooth- there’s another option.

If he already has any sort of speaker system with a headphone jack input or RCA input, then a Chromecast Audio works well and is cheap.

I HATE the delay on Bluetooth speakers I’ve found. Makes Netflix look like a budget Godzilla flick… I just want a good speaker dock, is that too much to ask for???

- @sohmageek The Monster Superstar I got as a replacement for the Clarity HD I got here has no detectable lag. I also bought a Clarity HD from Amazon and it is unusable for watching shows on my Ipad because of the lag. Maybe you just need to buy one that was made in the last couple of years?

From Today’s CNET Cheapskate:

Speaking of speakers, if you want something a little more powerful, but with many of the same features, grab the woefully misnamed Inateck iPhone Speaker Dock for $19.79 when you apply coupon code TGVZH8VL at checkout.

Decent reviews on it …
