Creative MP3 Player Accessories

The Bottom Line: The Creative TravelSound i50 is a fine choice for iPod Shuffle owners looking for a powerful portable speaker that integrates the player seamlessly, but there are better sounding options out there.

Specs: portable speakers with digital player dock, 0.6 in x 1.9 in x 5 in, High-gloss white, Active, 0.7 Watt

The Bottom Line: The Creative TravelSound i80 speaker is a solid option for third-generation iPod Nano owners who value portability and integration over top-notch sound quality.

Specs: portable speakers, 2.3 in x 0.9 in x 3.9 in, High-gloss white, Active, 0.7 Watt

The Bottom Line: Cambridge SoundWorks' PlayDock i has desirable features, decent sound quality, and a semi-portable design--you could do much worse for an iPod-ready tabletop speaker unit.

Specs: portable speakers with digital player dock, Active, 12 Watt, 24 Watt

The Bottom Line: For frequent fliers who own Creative's Zen V MP3 player and don't want to be stuck listening to clock radios, the TravelSound Zen V is a fine choice.

Specs: portable speakers with digital player dock, Active, 4 Watt

The Bottom Line: If you're serious about music quality, Creative's CB2530 Bluetooth wireless headphones aren't for you. Although they eliminate pesky wires, they also suffer from lackluster sound quality, frequent sound dropouts, and limited volume output.

Specs: Headphones, Ear-cup, Black, Stereo, Mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm

The Bottom Line: Creative's i-Trigue i3350 sports a 2.1-speaker system and incorporates two satellite speakers and a powerful subwoofer.

The Bottom Line: The Creative TravelDock 900 puts out some decent power for its size, but it's not as small as one might wish for a low-end portable speaker set.

Specs: portable speakers with digital player dock, White, Active, 80 dB, 2 Watt

The Bottom Line: Creative's TravelSound 400 is a snazzy, compact set of travel speakers with an "enhanced stereo" option that manages to make sound seem more spread out--albeit with very little low end.

Specs: portable speakers, 6.3 in x 1.7 in x 2.7 in, Silver, Active, 80 dB

The Bottom Line: For Zen Micro owners, the Creative TravelDock Zen is an attractive, compact way to showcase your player, although its performance has some shortcomings.

Specs: portable speakers with digital player dock, 7.4 in x 1.9 in x 4.3 in, Active, 4 Watt

The Bottom Line: Control your Zen Micro with the tactile Creative Zen Micro Remote. It's definitely worth $20.
