You can use the official Nexus 7 dock and any speakers you wish to use.

Nexus S Desktop Dock - $19.99

It appears Best Buy has the Nexus S dock on sale right now for $19.99 instead of the normal $39.99. I picked one up for my Nexus S last night. Be sure to check out your local store if you are in the market
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...8335099216&skuId=2547036&st=nexus s&cp=1&lp=9
I bought one. It will be handy St work. Decent price I think at $20?

Yikes, just read the reviews on Best Buy's website. Seems that this is not a multimedia dock, but just a piece of plastic that holds your phone while it charges. No speakers or audio input on the dock, nothing multimedia about it.
Then don't buy it

It clearly states in the description that it is designed for you to use the speakerphone and media player while charging the phone. Think of it like a kickstands that charges your phone.

The Nexus S Dock is a bad joke. No comparison to the great Nexus One Dock. I don't want to have to fit in the usb slot every time I put the Nexus into the Dock. With the Nexus you just put the phone on the Dock without fiddling around. I think every Nexus phone should have such charging contacts like the Nexus one did...

Its working perfectly for what I need it for at work. Headphones, charging, and standing. Just wish stock had landscape homescreen like CyanogenMod

I picked one up. If nothing else, it's a cheap OEM charger. They also had an open box Samsung Nexus S car dock for $22.99.
Both work great, especially the car dock. It's nice to have something made for the Nexus S, even though the dock isn't powered (you have to manually plug in the cord). Not a big deal as I've been doing it all along anyway when I get in the car.
yeah this dock is kind of a joke compared to the nexus one dock. i hope the nexus prime or whatever they call it has inductive charging or at least charging contacts like the n1 did.

Docking Station

Has anyone picked one up yet? Are you waiting for the official one to be released? Thoughts..
By the way, the Nexus 7 has been great for me so far.:good:
Are there docks available now? Can't find any on amazon or ebay

I'm waiting for one making use of the 4 pins on the side of the tables so you just put it down, no need to plug microusb in or anything.

The N7's charging slot is flipped around so be careful when purchasing docks that aren't made specifically for the N7.

If anyone gets this dock, let us know if you are able to flip the usb connection around. Also sound quality.
Edit: From the looks of the manual, the usb cord can be moved. This looks like an option. I too would like to see one that makes use of the pogo pins. Soon maybe.

NS homemade dock

hello!
I'm going to use my car stereo as an indoor one to hook it up via either BT or 3.5mm jack to my NS, but I don't want to spend on a Samsung dock yet, but I'd rather do some DIY... also, official dock doesn't have audio connector :/
So, is there a way to automatic set dock mode using the USB cable?
I remember something about using resistances in the plug, but couldn't find the thread :/
Any help appreciated

Dual Speakers?

Has anyone seen any kind of tech, case, housing, or attachment that adds sound to both sides of the phone, similar to the HTC one? With such a gorgeous screen this phone is perfect for Netflix or movies but I hate having to Cup my hand around the bottom of the phone to improve the sound. Also not always in the mood for the complete isolation that earbuds enforce.
Thanks

Thanks for the idea, I didn't realise LG sold a docking station, it looks pretty cool but that doesn't really solve my problem. Nice idea tho!
your welcome, its a killer idea: a case with buildin boombox and speakers, never seen or heard of it yet
a niche market
Sent from my LG-D802
Yeah, or even just some sort of device that snaps onto the sides. And either redirects the sound of reproduces it. You're right tho, it's prolly a pretty small market. I just wish LG would have followed HTC in that respect. They seem to have put a lot of effort into the quality of the sound the phone is capable of handing but didn't care about how well it reproduces that sound.

Hey, Hey that looks pretty cool! You think our phones would fit?
It says it's compatible. The stock image has what I think is an iPhone 3 in it with room to spare.

Anyone use audio technica ath m50s?

I know that the top of our phone is a bit slanted and so I was wondering if anyone used ath m50s with this phone to see if they fit correctly and sound correctly?

They're headphones. They will plug in. The only thing that would cause them to not work would be a case that obstructs the fitment of the jack to the port. I've plugged in many different head phones from cheap $2 sets to PowerBeats by Dre as well as Studio by Dre.

I understand that they have the required 8th inch adapter but I was just making sure because some reviewers of these headphones had problems with certain devices. Thanks again

Well I've never used them, but as long as it has 3.5mm connection or adapter it should work.

1) I moved this thread to the Q&A forum.
2) I've used the AT-M50s on every phone I've had and they work fine except the TPU case on some pushes out the headphone jack sometimes. So I take a razor and make the headphones hole a bit bigger on my case. Other than that you should have no issues.
These are still my favorite headphones, way better than any of the Beats and even the Bose in this price range. If they were a big smaller I would wear them at the gym, but for at home listening these headphones rule the world.

Oh thanks. Quick question, I've heard the burn in time for these headphones is super long. Do they still sound good out of the box or is it alright and then much better after use?

They sound really good out of the box.
The burn in time isn't incredibly long, I put some decent hours on mine and they just get better and better, but out of the box I found the sound quality to still be superior to any other cans in that class.
