Top Smart Phone Accessories: SRS iWOW U 3D Sound Enhancer
Last year, SRS unveiled the original iWOW, which does a great job of enhancing the sound of music and movies from iPad and iPhone. But it required a separate app and used iPad's and iPhone's 30-pin jack, which means you couldn't charge your device and use iWOW at the same time. Problem solved with this iWOW U – no app necessary and it jacks into the iPad's and iPhone's 3.5mm headphone jack – or, any multimedia player or smart phone with a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also allows you to use the in-line microphone on your iPhone earbuds, and its rechargeable battery lasts for six hours. It comes in a variety of colors and two packages, one with different colored replaceable faceplates ($80) and sans extra faceplates ($70).
