i-pod shuffle - which speakers and docking station?

[rosealbie]

my parents want to get ds an i-pod shuffle for Christmas. We though speakers would be good for his bedroom but can anyone recommend speakers and is there a system which will also charge the shuffle?

Been looking around this afternoon online but baffled by all the different types of speakers. Also, whic is the 2nd genweration i-pod as this seems compatible with most things?

if you can afford them, bose are the best, they have bought out a new model of speakers and so the original one is going cheap, will find a link, hang on

The second generation shuffle is the one which looks like a wee clip on thing, I think.

I'm sure the first generation was long and rectangular and looked more like a pen stick.

Not sure about speakers how old is your ds?

Ds is 7 and quite into music.

Thanks for the suggestions, I will take a look at Bose.

Yikes, those are pretty expensive!

These are what we got for our DS1s Shuffle.

Any 2.1 PC system is compatable.

Thanks Goober.

Any good?

fwiw we've just bought dd1 a shuffle from Apple, same price as Argos but you can get it engraved free. £32 for the 1GB free p+p

We then got the speakers from Amazon and headset.

all pink of course
