Simpl Acoustics’ A1 iPod clip-on headphone amplifier is the latest iPod accessory to be the subject of exceptional press from technology analysts and consumers alike.

The sound enhancing iPod accessory aims to address one of the few complaints emanating from Apple’s thriving iPods, that being a slight dissolution of sound quality when playing at loud volume levels.

The iPod has been criticised for sounding ‘tinny’, for cracking and for losing its trademark digital clear sound after volume increases but Simpl Acoustics’ A1 amp compensates for this change by allowing for a louder, deeper sound response.

Critical response has been outstanding for this device, a factor reflected by its high demand and consumer purchase figures.

The accessory is available in traditional iPod colour and attaches firmly and safely but not inconveniently onto the back of the iPod and is retailing from a reasonable £80.
