Sony iPod Dock Handles up to 10 Speakers

By Nick Mokey Published August 22, 2008

Ipod docks may be getting pretty close to “a dime a dozen” these days, but that doesn’t mean you should have to buy a separate one for every room in your house where you want to enjoy music. Sony’s new S-Air Play Music system will bring music from a single iPod to every room in your house with the option of adding up to 10 wireless satellite speakers.

The oval-shaped AIR-SA20PK accepts an iPod and plays music locally just like its competitors, but its dual AIR-SA15R wireless speakers can be placed anywhere, even in different rooms, and still play iPod tunes streamed from the dock. It can even handle two different streams at once, pushing AM/FM radio to one room and iPod music to another.

Not surprisingly for such an elaborate system, the AIR-SA20PK runs for $399, which includes the basic dock and two independent speakers. Additional speakers can be added on for $129.99, all the way up to 10.

Along with a slew of new features for iOS 18, Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference keynote has given us a sneak peek at how the AirPods Pro will evolve come the fall.

One of the big changes is how you can respond to Siri's verbal options. For instance, when a call comes in and Siri asks if you'd like to accept, you can nod your head to do so or shake it to decline.

These are the cheapest AirPods alternatives we can find — only $10

The SoundLiberty 53 next to their case.

We're living in an era where people are taking the extra time to find cheap alternatives to expensive brands. And while there are a ton of AirPods alternatives, none quite hit the low price tag itch like this pair from TaoTronics. And, that's before they went on sale. Grab the SoundLiberty 53 for just $9, down from $16, while this deal lasts and finally get something that looks like the latest AirPods and works great, but won't break the bank. Tap the button below to check them out for yourself or keep reading to see why people are liking these earbuds so much.

Why you should buy the SoundLiberty 53
The biggest draw to the SoundLiberty 53 is the cost to time used ratio. They're cheap but not so cheaply made that they are going to crumble on you. To put it into perspective, if you used these headphones on one charge (they have an estimated 50 hours of battery life) and then threw them away afterwards, you would be paying about 18 cents per hour of usage. The fact that they're IPX8 water resistant suggests, however, that they're going to have have a lot long life than that. Granted, you're unlikely to want to throw them away. The SoundLiberty 53 are quite loved by users, who find that they give a quality beat and fit comfortably. You'll also enjoy being able to use them in multiple usage modes. They can take calls and even be used one at a time, freeing up your other ear for conversation.
