The discussion surrounding the connection between earphones and hearing loss has prompted me to revisit using speakers for some of my iPod listening. If I cut my earphone time in half, coupled with keeping the volume at a reasonable level when I do use them, it's got to be a step in the right direction.
The problem for me has been that micro speakers just don't sound as good as earphones, and of course, they're bulkier. I recently tested the XtremeMac MicroBlast speakers for the iPod nano, and found them to be the best all-around solution to date. They are very compact, well-designed, and sound better than most of the other systems I've tested.
I'm now using them for times when I would often use earphones: washing the car, working out, yard chores, and hanging around the house. They're worth a listen.

I could not help but laugh to myself when reading this post. Sometimes we think the problem is with the “equipment” when many times it’s a simple, easy fix.
