Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington 33169 Digital FM Radio and Transmitter for iPods
Customer Review: Works great
Summary: 4 Stars
Maybe the folks who didn't like it got a bad batch, or maybe I just got the good batch, but I'm lovin' this little thing. The transmitter is solid up to about 30 feet and sounds just like playing a CD. The radio receiver is solid, but typically best on the strongest stations in an area (what do you expect with no external antenna and low power needs??). I bought it as a deal of the day and think that was the perfect price. The $40 is a bit steep, but if it comes down from there it's worth it.Customer Review: An Ok Product
Summary: 2 Stars
The Kensington Digital Transmitter is at best a mediocre product. It does it's job barley. It is a battery hog that really doesn't overpower the static on many channels. It takes up the interface port at the bottom and then doesn't have a charger port so you can plug in your car charger into it (Which would have alleviated the battery problem). If it's on sale (which it was for me, I got it for 10 dollars) it would be an ok pick up if you REALLY needed an FM transmitter for your iPod.Customer Review: Good FM Radio Transmitter for iPod
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a good digital FM radio transmitter for iPods. I have the new classic iPod (80 GB) and it responds very nicely to this FM radio transmitter. I haven't experienced any freezing like I did with my last transmitter. The buttons are all functional and easy to use, the screen is bright and large enough to read easily. Fits nicely into my iPod without coming loose. So far, this product fits my needs perfectly. You're going to get some static like you do with all FM radio transmitters.Customer Review: Doesn't work with iSkin (and possibly other) covers
Summary: 3 Stars
I have a 4rd Generation 20 GB ipod which I've protected since day one with a iSkin eVo2 cover. The iSkin covers the entire ipod with just a little flap to access the bottom dock port. This Kensington FM Radio & Transmitter won't stay put in the port since it's only long enough to stay put in the port if it's snug up against the bottom of the iPod.
Unfortunately, I'm going to have to return this item and stick with my Belkin FM transmitter, which doesn't pick up FM Radio.
Customer Review: Good Purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
This little iPod radio transmitter has been very good. I have been able to enjoy music in my car at cd-level or near cd-level audio quality between work and home. Finding a radio frequency without a broadcast signal is key, and there are sites online to help. While not perfect, it works well and allows me to use it in all of my vehicles without the cost of direct connection.
My after rebate price of ~$[...] made it way too good to pass up. I definitely recommend it.
