XtremeMac Airplay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod nano 2G (Black)

I had tried several other FM transmitters for my iPod Nano 2G but all failed to pass muster. Be it ease of use, excessive static or simply poor construction they all suffered from deficiencies that rendered them unusable. With the AirPlay Boost however I have been very satisfied with its performance. The default frequency (87.9 MHz) was fine for my area (Tampa, a big but sprawling metropolitan area). My primary use will be in my car and for that scenario it worked well. There was static discernible but I would go so far as to say that it was less than most radio stations. The telescoping antenna was a little flimsier than expected but not so much so that I am concerned about its durability. I am glad it is telescoping as my iPod would not fit in its protective case otherwise. The inclusion of a pass through charging connector at the bottom of the transmitter is a nice feature.

Cheap, works great so far. I live in the Point Loma area of San Diego, CA. At first I started at the lower band end static filled stations and the boost worked horribly/not at all. Now this was in a neighborhood that has a huge amount of military electronics, anyway then tried a static station at the upper band (104.5) and works great. Yes, on a few songs where there are moments of silence, I get a smidge of background noise but oh well for $20 including shipping who cares! Have driven between the coast and mission valley (inland 10 miles) and same station works great. Only been in use for a few days, but I am sold at this point.

This signal produced by this transmitter was too weak to produce quality sound. I had experienced better quality from an off-brand transmitter that used two AAA batteries. I am now using a Monster Mobile RadioPlay 300 and am thrilled with it.
