iTrip FM Transmitter Review
The iTrip FM transmitter for the iPod can play your music through any FM radio in your car, at a party, wherever the mood strikes you–and you have a radio. It’s clear that the iTrip is made specifically for the iPod. This gives iTrip advantages over similar devices. For example, with the iTrip, you can have the cleanest possible signal–because you can choose any radio station on the dial to tune for the best performance possible. You do this by ‘playing’ special station codes directly from the iPod itself.
Another advantage of the iTrip is that it needs no batteries–it receives its tiny amount of power from the iPod. The original iTrip can even rotate out of the way to charge the iPod while still in use. No more batteries ever again. There’s not even a power switch – just plug it in and go. It shuts off automatically after 60 seconds of silence–just like the iPod. The iTrip is the ultimate accessory for the iPod because it allows you to share the music and share the fun beyond your headphones. Don’t leave home without it.
The next step forward for the FM transmitter that started it all.
ITrip Accesories
iTrip broadcasts the music from your iPod to an open FM frequency so you can listen to your tunes through the nearest FM radio. Use it with car radios, boomboxes, or your home or office entertainment system.
Griffin design and innovation makes iTrip super-easy to set up and use. This design update for iTrip features a new, brighter high-contrast display, easier to read in any light. Griffin-exclusive SmartSound technology optimizes the FM signal sent to your receiver, for the best-quality sound possible.
You get to listen to your music, podcasts, soundtracks, etc., through your own, great-sounding speakers, and share the sound with the whole room (or car).
The iPod is loaded with impressive features, but it’s also an Apple product, which means that looks matter. A lot. And Griffin clearly recognizes this, because the company has released several iTrips designed to match specific iPod models, and each is among the sleekest FM transmitters on the market. Plus, the device measures less than an inch tall and exactly as wide as the iPod it sits on, so it takes up almost no extra space–an important feature to people who value the iPod’s portability.
The iTrip is designed to broadcast to any empty FM frequency on your dial–depending on where you receive the best reception–but it’s only configured to play at 87.9 MHz right out of the box. That means a little setup is required using the included CD-ROM and iTunes. Fortunately, the installation is painless and takes only a few minutes. The installer adds a playlist to your iPod (through iTunes) called iTrip Stations, which consists of a series of short audio files that correspond with all available FM frequencies.
