Belkin RockStar

Have you ever wanted to share your music without having to give up your ipod? Well now you can share you music easily with Belkin's RockStar! The RockStar is an inexpensive and practical way to share your tunes with multiple friends and even mix songs using multiple ipods.

Selling for a mere $20, the RockStar acts as a hub allowing you to connect up to five headphones and your ipod. You can also hook up external speakers into the RockStar giving you multiple audio outputs. So the RockStar works great for both sharing music with friends and for hooking your ipod up to multiple speakers for the ultimate experience. The only trouble that may arise sharing with friends is volume controls. Earbuds may be louder than over the ear headphones creating different audio levels amongst you and your friends. Some quality headphones may come with external volume controls or you can buy them separately.

The hexagonal shape and design of the RockStar is both sturdy and attractive. There is a hard-wired connection for your ipod and 5 open jacks for attaching headphones, other audio outputs, or other ipods. It comes packaged with an extra cable to connect another ipod. You can also use the RockStar with other media devices, MP3 players and portable DVD players. I even tried it out on my laptop with success.

bottom line

The RockStar is a must-have tool if you like to share your ipod music with friends. With the ability to hook up 5 headphones to one ipod, mix songs with multiple ipods, and hook-up external speakers makes the RockStar very useful for ipod users. Its reasonable pricetag and sturdy design are both pluses as well.
