Amplified speakers? - Nexus 7 Accessories

Hi, can you folks reccomend some amplified speakers for use with my Nexus when in the car?
Its great as a sat nav but not loud enough so something that I can fit perhaps at the back of it when in a bracket and powered by 12v/5v ?
I have searched but not come up with much.
Cheers,
Sid

got this ninja turtle speaker at toys r us for my sons tablet in the back seat that is mounted on the head rest. it plugs into the headphone jack and is powered by usb (rechargeable) so you can plug it into any usb car charger. plenty loud and decent sound for the price. they had a bunch of different styles if you're not into ninja turtles lol including a bomb shaped one that was pretty cool looking. it sits on a key ring so you can clamp it to anything http://www.toysrus.com/buy/electronics/audio/speakers/speakers-docks/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-portable-ipod-speaker-orange-55065-tru-17356136

Just did a survey of portable ( pocket-able ) amplified speakers, the best sound under 300euros is the JBL charge
http://www.jbl.com/estore/jbl/us/products/JBL-Charge/JBL%20CHARGE_JBL_US
The best above 300 is the BOSE
http://www.bose.com/controller?url=/shop_online/digital_music_systems/bluetooth_speakers/soundlink_wireless_speaker/index.jsp
My tests centered on hi-fi quality, so were performed with a wired link NOT the bluetooth

Thank you but I was thinking of something for in the car, 20 euros being too much to pay let alone 100+ :good:

The Logitech USB speaker works with USB-OTG and it's pretty loud. Combine that with a Y cable for charging and it's not a bad setup. I got mine for $20usd locally on clearance.

Bought the same speaker for about the same price and agree. Decent improvement over the builtin ones although not audiophile or even close but then it's not audiophile priced either.

Get a Lepai. Makes it simple to run normal speakers.

Thanks for the suggestions folks.
Maybe this need a change to the car audio setup so I can use the car radio.
Problem with that is that its a fiat with blue & me that uses the aux IP for the computer input.
Cheers.

You could still use the Lepai for your car stereo also. Just run the audio out on the car stereo to the audio in rca jacks on the Lepai and then hook the cars speakers to the outs on the Lepai.

Tesco have been selling an Altec Lansing speaker for about £7.50 it's a single speaker but has amazing sound, fills the cab of my van without any problems. Battery powered and the batteries seem to last forever.

Now that's more like it.
Cheers.

Is there an fm transmitter that also charges the phone?

I'd really like to get one of these: fm transmitter
But there's no real sense if the phone doesn't get charged while driving.
So is there one around that does also charge the phone or how would I go about charging the phone while being able to listen to music on the car radio?
http://www.onlytouchpro2.com/oemhtcmuauca.html
I would try the "break out box" that comes with the htc touch pro 2. I connected it to my touch pro 2 and was able to simultaneously charge the phone, and push audio out through the 3.5mm on that.
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to charge the phone (through the bottom port) and have your fm transmitter coming out of the right side, where it shows the headphones. Let us know!

looked around for something similar a couple of months ago and ended up buying this. phone plugged in and charging. music b/t to hands free kit and them fm to the stereo. also (unsurprisingly) works well as a hands free kit.

Is there alternative way to have this particular fm transmitter charge the phone at the same time?
I was wondering if the current charger for the fmtalk is 5V and the phone will require a 5V, does it work if I can get a car charger with output of 8 to 10V? Or will that fry the devices instead??
I'm hesitant to get another accessory just to use this thing and charge at the same time as it makes the whole setup very clumsy...
Any help is deeply appreciated!
6 months late
what you need is probably a Y connector where at one end you have a mini usb jack and at the other end a 3.5mm jack. hope the current doesn't interfere with the audio. if you had one of these....

This one has a USB port so you can charge at the same time you are playing.

Headphone conspiracy

I believe there's a conspiracy how headphones break in a month or sooner. I think it's a market conspiracy that companies use so, the consumer doesn't stop with one headphone, but keeps buying more and more.
what you guys think?, am I high on something

I've had the same pair of Phillips Headphones since 2004... they cost £18... What are you all doing to your headphones to destroy them!?!?
I use the headphones that usualy came with the phones. Never broked one, butI do change phone a bit...
That said, I have the same Panasonic headphones for 20+ years, that I use when at home, for better quality.
I still have a working pair that came with the original game boy, plus a Moto s9 BT headset i had for about a year now, psp headphones I had since 07 i think, HTC headphones that came with my Dash (they even survived the washer & dryer), some great sounding sony headphones i bought from radioshack about 2 years ago, but the only ones that fell apart were some dj style Craig brand chepos from kmart.
wow, I'm cursed with headphones. I remember buying apple headphones for like 50 bucks (what a rip off), they didn't even last an year...
v-moda earplugs for the win!

[Q] Home made car dock.

Here is the dock I made. Does anyone know if there is a magnet on the dell to dell if it is in a car dock? I would like to add that to my dock if possible.
I built my own car dock to mount in what used to be a coin tray on my 06 F150. Could be a little higher maybe but I had a spot I never used so I thought I would take advantage of it.

and here it is in the truck
Nicely done!
Which cable are you using there?
I might sugguest for the next time that you take apart a Home Dock (since it includes both power and line-out from the PDMI connector on the Streak) and use that so you can have permanently mounted power/audio out going into the truck's audio system.
Superb! You should sell your design to one of the accessories companies!
What I like about it is it looks really un-cluttered and the device is not swamped by the cradle.
Also, it looks like there's probably no 'wobble'. Which is good.
Not sure about the magnet, but what a superb design.
That is pretty cool Kevin! I don't think the Dell has a car dock mode so I doubt there would be any magnets. (I could be wrong though)

I am using the normal pdmi to usb cable. There is a usb hook up on my stereo so it charges and I can play music through it.

I know they offer a car kit but I can not see any spot that looks like it houses a magnet and I have run a magnet around the back of the phone.. no luck.
holy crap this is pimpin
My dell streak came with the clear hard shell protector that covers the sides and back, so I am working on permanently connecting that to the inside of my 4Runner.. we'll see how that goes
Nice job. It looks awesome. Is it made out of plastic or aluminum?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Absolutely stunning! Didn't quite understand how you get audio through usb though...
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
erm, i don't think he DOES get audio through USB.
I'm guessing it mounts the streak as a removable storage device so the head unit can access the mp3 files on it....
I connect to my Pioneer unit via bluetooth and I gotta say the Streak's BT audio streaming is awesome! Really clear and powerful.

[Q] Do the "stock GS4A earbuds control volume/playback?

I just got a GS4A in somewhat terribad physical condition but it works 100% and it didn't come with any of the original accessories (box, adapter, microUSB cable, and of course the earbuds).
Can anyone that has purchased a GS4A brand new tell me if the stock Samsung earbuds have a volume control in the little remote pod in the cord, and if it can be used for controlling playback as well (Play/Pause, maybe 2 clicks for next song, 3 clicks for Previous, that sort of thing)?
Been searching for an answer but haven't found one yet, not sure precisely which earbuds are included with the GS4A so if anyone can take a picture of theirs or the remote pod (close up/macro image) I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.
The headset that came with my i9295 has controls, yes, and they work well. I think they can do double-tap for next song in the player I use (poweramp), but don't hold me to that because I got a much nicer set of headphones with my purchase from the store (SOL republic Tracks HD), so I haven't been using the included earbuds much at all.

Are you talking about the international version or the SGH-I537? I have the I537 and it didn't come with any earbuds...

My international one did, but honestly it wouldn't have been a big loss if it didn't. As most bundled earbuds they are good enough, but nothing to be all that happy about. The shape makes them hang a bit awkwardly in my particular ears, and they seem to get pulled out a lot easier than other earbuds I use. The only reason I use them at all is that they are a compatible headset that is more discrete for use when I'm out on town, rather than my over-ear Tracks HD that I use to listen to music and so when I'm at home.
Wow, AT&T being so cheap they can't toss in a pair of $3 earbuds, good lord.
Oh well, I found some on eBay that claim to be the "real deal" Samsung product, which upon getting them I will promptly disassemble and attach my current Koss earbuds where were previously transplanted onto an iPod/iPhone earbud cable.
Thanks for the info...

Good choice, Koss earbuds are way superior to these. Unfortunately I don't have the tools right now or I'd do the same myself, I have a pair of old Koss where the contact broke that are just waiting for such a project.

MOTO G3 2015 earphones

which earphones are compatible with moto g3 2015???
As far as I have "read/heard" Xiamoi Piston 3 are working also the volume buttons... But I had no chance right now to test by myself
Enviado desde mi MotoG3 mediante Tapatalk
Yeah I am using mi piston 3...volume buttons and everything works....good to go for it.
Right now i use the Earpods, they sound really good and are cheap (in my country). But i had to make a adapter to make the volume control work, because in iDevices the polarity of the microphone is inverted.
just ordered audio teechnica ath clr100 . heard a lot of positive reviews about them
I use Sennheiser CX 180. A bit cheap, but that coupled with Viper4Android offers an awesome sound quality, imo.
It's also surprisingly rugged, despite looking fragile.
audio technica ath clr 100 are amazing. if u are a base head then stay away as these are for clear neutral sound(not flat but balanced)
Cuz i lost my idevice i am using my iphone headphone sound like good
am using soundpeats qy7 bluetooth , its a new company ,awesome hi-fi sound with good bass , you can read review of this in amazon
price is INR 1900,
I'm still using my Motorokr EH-25 from my Motorola Milestone I love it!

Both Sony's MDR-ZX300AP/B (over-ear headphones) and Apple's Earpod work ok. I tend to use Sony's when I'm at home and the Earpods while I'm running or cycling.
I use ATH-CLR100 In-Ear Headphones!
I use these coupled with V4A
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...X236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=jvc+earphones
I use xt 180, sennheisser. Superb
M using JBL T150A.Dont think someone would find any other in-ear earphones with mic with such amazing sound output at such a cheap rate.Bass is Good.Noice Cancellation is also worth mentioning .
Xiaomi Piston III. About $20 they perform like an pair that is at least $75. The quality is amazing for the price. Has a mic, pause, fast forward, and rewind button. Can't reccomend enough.
i use good old inears philips she3581. top sound
How about jbl c100si....wesome sound clarity woth bass and great price
Sent from my MotoG3 using Tapatalk
Sony MDR-ZX310... Very good sound..
Beyerdynamic MMX102IE - were bought on sale and worth it - wasn't willing to fork over more than $80 on IEMs (unless they were ATK's or other) since I've been burned by reviews recommending poo headsets (within the $100 range). Nobody was talking (or even mentioning) about these at the time so figured what the heck. Not disappointed - likely to be more bassy than the ATK's but as with everything else they can be EQ'd to suit anyhow.
The next step up would be some Koss cans or whatever Chinesuim BT headset I can get away with while riding the bus and not being a mugging target
