Griffin iFM (Dock Connector) / FM Radio and Wired Remote Control for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Griffin iFM vs. Apple Radio Remote
iFM Pros:
++ arrangement of buttons makes operation by touch a cinch
+ (cosmetic) available in black (only)
iFM Cons:
- Lowest volume setting is still a little too loud for certain circumstances/environments
- clip is somewhat flimsy
Radio Remote Pros:
++ iPod integration is great
+ volume can be adjusted in much finer detail compared to iFM (64 vs. 16 levels)
+ clip appears more sturdy and usable
+ includes a set of Apple earbuds which a shorter cord
Radio Remote Cons:
- arrangement of buttons makes operation by touch not as convenient as iFM
- (cosmetic) available in white (only)
Both seem about equal as far as FM radio performance is concerned.
While the Apple Radio Remote seems like the better of the two, I use the iFM (with the shorter Apple earbuds) when skiing because the button layout is much easier to use on the slopes while wearing gloves.

The Griffin Technology 9125-IFM30 iFM Radio, Remote and Recorder for iPod gives your iPod FM-radio tuning capability and a remote control functionality. Just flip a switch to choose between FM and remote control modes on this handy, slim device. The remote mode is great for workouts, biking, or hiking, giving you play, pause, fast forward, rewind, next song, previous song, and volume functions, along with a nifty equalization toggle to stabilize the sound of your tunes. If you'd like to listen to your iPod on the radio, the iFM's digital auto station scan with wraparound, and six station presets make it easy for you to find a station with minimal static. If you find yourself overseas, you'll enjoy the band-switch function, which enables alternation between US, European, and Japanese FM bands. But no matter where you are, the integrated white LCD backlit lets the iFM's quality shine through.

Griffin Navigate Inline Remote Controller and FM Radio for iPhone and iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased a new iPod Touch 4G. I use it in the car, at the gym, or traveling by airplane a lot and I often found it annoying that the display would shut off and I had to fumble with the device to see what was playing or advance songs or change volume. With the touch screen you really have to look at the ipod to see what you are doing. This remote solves that with the built in display. Now I can take a quick glance at the remote to see the song name and artist, and change tracks, mode, or volume, just by feel (and keep my eyes on the road). The remote has a clip so I can attach it to my shirt when working out.
I don't notice any change in sound quality or battery life (see tip below).
A tip I have learned. When I first got the Navigate I noticed that I would shut off the ipod and remote but later I would see that both would mysteriously turn on. Sometimes 20 minutes later, sometimes 2 hrs later. If I left the remote plugging all night it would kill my battery, Griffin tech support didn't have a solution so I thought I was going to have to unplug it every time I turned off my ipod or risk running the battery down. Then I finally realized that it was the ipod Wi-Fi that was the culprit. When I turned on "airplane mode", then problem went away. This was no problem in the long run, because I don't need wi-fi when I am driving or an an airplane.
I highly recommend this product.

Navigate maximizes convenient control of your iPod. It has control buttons your fingers can easily locate by touch, and it restores the tactile feedback of the iconic click wheel to touchscreen models. (Which comes in pretty handy when you're using it in a car and need to keep your eyes on the road.)About the size of a pack of matches, Navigate gives you a generous OLED information screen (for when you need to glance at it), on/off, play, volume and EQ controls, and an FM stereo radio. Tuck your iPod out of sight, but keep controls close at hand. Features stereo mini-jack for headphone connections with FM radio and volume control. iPhone users: Just plug Navigate into your dock connector, then connect your headset to the headphone jack of your iPhone to listen and talk.

Griffin iFM Radio Receiver for iPhone and iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)this product is even better than i thought! from the description it doesn't say that you can tune to specific stations (not just a list of ones that the device thinks you want to hear) i just hoped for the best when i ordered it. this means that i can use it at the gym to tune to the tvs and hear the sound. as far as i know this is the only product you can connect to an iphone/pod and do this. it does not have the iphone 4 listed as a compatible device but it works with mine. i highly recommend this product.

DLO 007-3000 iPod Mini FM Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't be confused about the purpose of this product. The 007-3000 enables you to listed to FM stereo radio using the iPod earbuds. The 007-3000 does not enable your iPod Mini to broadcast through an FM radio for other people to hear.
The product performs much like other reviews predicted. The volume through the earbuds is definitely higher than my iPod was set.
A factor not predicted is the quality of the sound. I'm not able to explain the difference except to say it's not vivid. Still, I recommend this product to those seeking a listening alternative. Particularly since Apple discontinued the MA070G/A. The Apple MA070G/A, designed solely for iPod Mini, is extremely difficult to find. Incidently, DO NOT confuse the MA070G/A with newer MA070G/B which is for newer iPods than the Mini.
