Are you traveling this summer? You might want to take along some tunes. Here are some of the topic picks. Each player has its own set of selling points, so choose one that fits you best.
Apple iPod
Let’s start with the most famous MP3 player out there, the one that started it all, the Apple iPod. Sleek and a major performer, you can’t go wrong with an Apple iPod. There are plenty of different iPods from which to choose, from the very cool iPod Touch with its integrated touch screen and the ability to download music, movies and YouTube videos (and get mail and other Internet access) to the tiny iPod Nano that can now fit seamlessly in a t-shirt pocket. The inexpensive iPod Shuffle makes MP3 players affordable. Price: $49 to $499.
Samsung YP-S5
The Samsung YP-S5 is a very social MP3 player. It offers stereo Bluetooth technology. This allows you to listen to your Samsung through wireless headphones, and how cool is that? Share youy tunes with other listeners using the built-in and slide out speakers. You can combine the speakers and the wireless features for even more options with this player, such as using the MP3 player as a speakerphone when it is paired with a Blutooth-enabled phone. Price: $180 for 4 GB.
Cowon iAudio 7
If you are serious about your music, and I mean really serious, consider the Cowon iAudio 7. Okay, so you may not have heard much about this MP3 player before, but it is a hit with audiophiles. The five-band equalizer with allow you to tweak your frequencies. The Mach3Bass can boost the low end and the built in MP Enhance reduces the sound degradation that may occur with digital audio compression. There is even a panning control that will let you divert sound from one ear to the other, in the cases of partial hearing loss. This MP3 player is available in three different GB sizes, from 4 to 16. Price: $150 to $300.
