Best iPod Boom Boxes

When shopping for an iPod Boom Box, the overriding feature to consider is volume and portability. Often, these are used in open spaces or outdoors (at the pool, the beach, etc.), so you are looking for the ability to project loudly and clearly.

Also, if you are using them outside, you should look for durability. Look for an iPod Boom Box that will embed your iPod, protecting it from outdoor hazards (weather, accidents/dropping, etc.). The power source ought to be adaptable for different indoor/outdoor uses, with a built-in rechargeable battery being ideal.
