Boo Hiss! [Posted on 2006-08-23]
I purchased the Kensington Accessory Adapter to connect my iPod Shuffle to my Bose Sounddock while at work.
Used in this application, the adapter creates an annoying "hiss." Playing at a louder volume can drown out the hiss, but it's always there in the background.
Bad unit or just unsuitable in this application?
Fine for charging [Posted on 2006-09-09]
Needed the adapter to charge my Shuffle, since the AC adapter I have is one of those older Apple ones with the Firewire connector. Suits my needs perfectly.
No experience with any sound docks, however, so I can't comment on the performance flaws other people have brought up.
Not appropriate for all applications [Posted on 2007-01-19]
This adapter worked fine for charging and for sound output, but be aware of some key limitations:
1) This adapter is too large to fit into many docking stations. I found I could only connect it to other items using iPod cables.
2) Although it will charge and allow one to play music from the iPod, it doesn't provide full functionality. When I connected it to a computer, my Mac did not recognize the shuffle. This was the case whether or not I'd pre-launched iTunes.
So, if all you want to do is connect your shuffle to a car transmitter/charger or other cable-based device, this adapter is fine. If you want to use docks or make your computer-connected iPod cable do double-duty for your shuffle and for your other iPods, this isn't the solution for you.
Works great [Posted on 2007-09-10]
I have been using mine for over 18 months now - in the car with my FM transmitter to listen to my ipod shuffle. Works absolutely perfect!
