iTrip Review

Quick review of the iTrip.

An excellent design that perfectly complements the iPod.

Draws its power right from the iPod.

Changing the station you transmit on is unfortunately a pain. You have to stop the song, go find the station mp3 file. Play it. Then return to your music. No switches to flick or anything.

On the other hand, you have access to any station on the FM dial.

On the other, other hand you’ll have to find a clear one. The transmission is no stronger or clearer than other FM transmitters. There is no drift or retuning once you get it though.

A cassette adapter still sounds better. But for those with no cassette adapter, this is a perfect choice. It also works great in a house. I can tune my two home stereos to it and it’ll play on both. Great for a party.

4 out of 5.

    I have the iRock FM adapter, and it sounds like it’s pretty much a toss-up between the two. On the one hand it uses AAA batteries, but on the other hand it has a switch for easy channel changing.
