 "Bad sound quality. Not compatible with Nano 5g" 2010-04-18

By Aririn (Bay Area, CA, USA)

I bought this in a gamble to see if it would be compatible with my new nano 5g. It's not. I do still have a nano 3g, so I thought I'd use it with the old one. No big deal, right? But no, the sound quality is so bad, that I just had to return it. I know that FM transmitters will never have good quality sound, but compared to my old DLO FM transmitter, iTrip is garbage. DLO has a big cradle that's attached to the cigarette lighter, which is why I wanted an iTrip. But I think I'll stick with the DLO.

 

 "Great iPhone FM transmitter" 2010-04-10

By Tech Addict (NY, NY)

Used it for the first time today in Manhattan and New Jersey. After a few dodgy channels, found a couple that work pretty well in the City. In some cases they even overpowered some lesser radio stations in the area. While it's meant for iPods, it works fine with iPhones. All you have to do is just select "no" when it asks to switch to plane mode or whatever. $20 is a steal. I had a different transmitter before that was ok, but never really worked that well in City or close to it.

 

 "works well" 2010-04-10

By Renee (Cleveland, OH USA)

This product works great. It's sleek, small, stays out of the way. It's super easy to use and understand. The sound quality is great and i haven't had any problems. I actually forget it's my ipod sometimes, it's sounds like the radio.

 

 "This is a GREAT Product!!!" 2010-04-09

By Amy Anderson (PA)

I just bought this product itrip has great sound when i plugged it in there was no static could hear the music perfect i brought a different FM transmitter and it broke in a week. This one is a perfect fm transmitter. It scans for the perfect channel to put your radio to for the best sound.So if you want a good one get this one

 

 "Works well" 2010-04-07

By Robert Wilson (Los Angeles, CA United States)

I'm using this with a 3rd generation iPod which not all accessories are compatible with, but this works. I usually get good sound quality (although in Southern California it can be hard to find a frequency that doesn't have something broadcasting on it).

 "I wish i didn't buy it" 2009-10-20
By Rahel E. Leary
No matter what channel I select for the FM transmitter, its sounds awful. There is interference, the signal is weak, the sound quality... far from stellar.



I am not an audiophile but I would have expected better results with a company like Griffin. Buyer beware, unless you like your MP3s sounding like they are coming out of a phonograph from the early 1900's.

 "iPod death" 2009-10-06

 "Best FM xmitter I've found" 2009-10-05
By Christopher A. Flory (Alexandria, VA USA)
Truly the best FM transmitter I've ever found. Never had luck with them in the past, and I even considered buying a new head unit w/ USB/Aux inputs just so I woulnd't have to use one. Fortunately, that upgrade never happened and I got this Griffin unit instead!



The antenna on this unit is STRONG. Figured out just how strong the other day when I unplugged it and the frequency it had been tuned to was actually a station strong enough that it was coming through loud and clear. But the unit was strong enough to overpower the station! Definitely convenient so you don't have to keep searching through the entire band every 10 minutes as you're passing through different towns.



The only complaint I have so far is that there's a little fuzzing out of the bass end at higher volumes. This may just be an issue with my mp3 player too, or how I have the volume levels on the mp3 vs the radio set.



Overall very satisfied. Would probably even have been satisfied at twice the price! Great unit.

 "Is this the best solution technical minds could devise? Appears to be" 2009-09-29
By Galactus (Solar System)
For over 2 years I have been using the cassette player in my car with the standard cassette adapter to play my mp3 player through my car stereo. I often wondered if I was getting the best sound quality out of my music and flirted with the idea of getting one of these FM transmitters. I was scared off by the limitations with open FM frequencies in urban areas that I have seen mentioned in other reviews and the price for the good name brand ones at local retailers was prohibitive.



When the tape player in my car unexpectedly died and I could no longer use the cassette adapter, I had no choice but to look for an FM transmitter. I wasn't about to try replace the stereo in my aging vehicle and plus its tied to a disk changer that I still enjoy. I found a great price on the Griffin iTrip on Amazon, way cheaper than any retailers or other sites online. When it arrived I was thrilled at the prospect of being able to once again have access to my huge library of music on my mp3 player and I even thought I might gain the benefit of improved sound quality.



Boy was I wrong. Even when I locked in to a clear transmission (more on that later) I was shocked that the output volume was not very dynamic, the volume control on my sansa was rendered useless and I could only control the volume on the car stereo. I had to crank it up a lot higher than with my previous primitive cassette adapter. The sound quality was also a bit thin, very noticeable when listening to music with some good low end.



Once I started driving it got worse. I would hear static in the music every couple of miles, at some points it was unbearable. I figured I needed to select another station. I am in a metropolitan area so that was a challenge, there were basically 2 frequencies I could use. At different points during my hour long commute one or the other would work better than the other. I read the instructions on switching the mode to mono to potentially get better results, but any improvement was marginal.



At times the music would be overwhelmed with static and I'd just get frustrated and turn off the music altogether. Other times I'd make it through the drive with just a little bit of static here and there, but I never had an uninterrupted drive as I was used to with the cassette adapter. I couldn't believe that this is how people actually listen to their music. When I was researching I searched and searched but it seems these adapters are the only thing out there unless you have a car stereo with a direct input jack.



With all the advances in technology I am shocked and appalled that this is the best that they can come up with to listen to music in the car. Fiddling with a transmitter to get better reception is also a sure fire way to get into an accident.



If you have a choice, I highly recommend finding a different alternative, unless you are in an area where there are not a ton of stations on the FM dial.



Oh and to top it off, at times when I plug the fm transmitter in since it doubles as a charger, my sansa would freeze and its never done that before. I have to hold down the power button and wait for it to turn off and unplug the adapter and try again to get it to work. Not sure if its a problem with the player but as mentioned this has never happened before. Love the sansa, hate the FM transmitter.

 "I-trip for Sansa Low power" 2009-09-23
By Cory L. Johnston
The I-trip works for charging the sansa mp3 players but is severely lacking in transmitting power. I made the move from the Sansa E280 to the Sansa Fuze so my Macally cup transmitter no longer worked for me. I odered the I-trip because it was one of the few transmitters made to go into the sansa port. Compared to my Macally transmitter the I-trip is seriously lacking in power. I can not overcome most stations and when I do find an empty channel the volume is so low that I cannot listen to most of my low quality audio books and I live in South Dakota so the stations are not that packed. I have gone to using the 3.5MM jack on my Macally to get by because the I-trip just doesn't cut it. I guess I will just have to charge my fuze when I get home.

 "Do Not Buy This Wireless Transmitter" 2009-10-16
By Matthew Pavolaitis (Santa Monica, CA)
I just purchase this device from Amazon, though I love buying from Amazon they really should pull this item from its servers. The sound quality is so bad, things like poor reception from being low powered, mono sounding, no punch in the drums, and the transmitter is completely inferior to other devices on the market. Geffen has been getting away with this crap for far too long with the itrip and now the iphone transmitter. You literally have to keep the transmitter right by your car radio to prevent noise and interference



I would really like to prevent people from buying this device if I could.

Below par is an understatement. Definitely low quality. Remote I received was NOT the one pictured here. Looked more like one you'd find in a kid's toy box. It worked fine the first night and that's about it. Didn't work after that. The charger portion is the only portion that still works. Don't waste your money!



I ordered this from CrazyOnDigital. While they did ship quickly and I received the item on time, the remote was not what is advertised here.

 "Griffin iTrip" 2009-10-02
By Nicole Dutton (USA)
I loved the original iTrip from Griffin, and thought I would love this one as well. It is a great product, and is extremely easy to use, however, unlike the original iTrip, you cannot access the clearest channel, which for me was 87.9. The new version only goes down to station 88.1. I did find one channel that plays very nicely, however, and the iTrip fits on my ipod touch perfectly, even with a plastic cover.

By A. Lunz (Pennsylvania)
I bought this product, used it twice, and when I tried to play my iPod in my car on the third use, it stopped responding. I've tried looking everywhere for troubleshooting tips and solutions but as far as I can see, I was sent a defective FM transmitter. When it DID work, I had a hard time finding a station and when I finally did, I couldn't move my iPod more than a foot away from the radio. I would not suggest buying this.

 "Not a distance unit." 2009-10-01
By Artemas Steere
It works pretty good, even overpowering some sketchy stations, but I have to have it within 1 foot of my receiver to get a perfect signal, if it's farther than that there's a little static, but not bad.

 "Mediocre" 2009-09-20

Bulky and doesn't fit with a case on the iPod touch. Very low range - needs to be right next to the radio or antenna to work. However, it is easy to use.

By Me "Amazon Shopper" (Caliente, NV USA)
I have been pleased with this product, with a minor exception. It is difficult to get it to power up when first connected. It usually takes several attempts to get it to turn on. With that being said, once you get it on the first time if you keep it connected it will power up everytime you turn your iPod back on. All in all this is a great product for the price you pay.

 "Great Product very easy to use" 2009-09-29
By Salil Surendran (Charlotte, NC)
Bought this product and pressed 'SmartScan'. The very first frequency it selected worked great. I had a FM modulator before but that was a piece of junk. In comparison this one looks like solid gold. Highly recommended.

 "It's OK, but not great" 2009-09-28
By Peter Gary Nush Jr. (Ashburn, VA USA)
It works as advertised, but the sound quality is not that great -- almost every station has a lot of static on it. The volume is also pretty low, such that I have to turn the car stereo volume up pretty high to get listenable sound quality, and this exacerbates the static problem mentioned earlier. It is also shocking when switching from the FM Transmitter/iPod to a normal radio station, because the audio is so much louder. I also find myself having to switch stations every 15 minutes or so, which is not ideal when driving.



I suppose it's a decent, inexpensive alternative to buying a direct-connect stereo for the car, but with prices for good stereos down around $200, the annoyance factor is close to pushing me to upgrade my car audio system and go direct.

 "Good product" 2009-09-13
By D. Wilson
I was hesitant about which adapter to get for my ipod. I Bought the griffin itrip a month ago and could not be happier. My car, however, is capable of going to radio stations of 87.9 and lower. If your car is capable of this, then I suggest you put the griffin itrip on international mode (push function in the middle then hold mode for 10 secs or so, pick JP from menu). After putting the ipod on international mode it worked great with little to no static. Without international mode it worked well most of the time, but had occasional static, which of course means you have to spend some time searching for a better station. Overall if your radio can get to 87.9 this is a great product that will have little to no radio disturbance.

 "Works great with iPod Nano 8gb (4th gen)" 2009-09-09
By Blee1 (San Francisco, CA USA)
Let's cut to the chase: we bought this to hook up an iPod to the car stereo without lugging around a bunch of cd's. With the 8gb Nano, it holds a lot of music (sorry, I'm not into watching movies on a tiny screen. If you do, you got to get a life). I'm using this in a metropolitan area and the frequency I'm using is as low as possible - 88.3.



Pros: Simple to use. It CHARGES the new iPod Nano during use, (not listed in the Amazon site). The buttons make it easy to tune in a specific frequency. It has idiot lights to let you know the status of your iPod and the unit itself. Went to the Griffin web site to check the compatibility just to make sure. Uses a mini 2 amp fuse to protect the iPod and that is a great feature!



Cons: The "search" feature didn't always find the clearest channel especially at higher FM frequencies. As in previous reviews, I tuned it to the lowest frequency possible that would deliver a clean sound. My radio doesn't go down to 87.7 so I had to find the next higher and clearest signal. This is not really a con since for the money we are all trying to maximize our iPods for the lowest dollar amount we want to spend and to use this in the car for those long trips or just wanting to hear your favs are worth it.



HINT: The tuner function is great. Find the clear space on the radio and tune the iTrip. Usually the lower the frequency, the less "white noise" is present. Also, adjust the iPod's EQ to fit what would sound best to you, (I set mine to Acoustic) and adjust the tone quality of the car radio. The car radio volume will have to go up a little.



This is a great little product at a fair price. So the sound isn't perfect, but what the heck . . . you got your iPod playing in the car!

I bought this for my new car, not wanting to spend $50 or so on a transmitter or the $500 for a docking station for my ipod. I know that some transmitters don't really work all that great, but after reading reviews for this product I felt confident in my purchase. It took some fiddling around with the transmitter (Read Eric William's review, it helped me a lot) I got it working with my radio. I do have moments where I get some static but I do live in a more rural area with some construction going on so its no biggie for me. It works great on the freeway, which was the big thing for me.

 "Griffin iTrip Auto FM Transmitter and Auto Charger for iPod (Black)" 2009-09-01
By Steve (Chicago, IL United States)
I bought this at Best Buy for $89 and it's here for $20. I would buy it here. It's a great product. And it does actually work. How it works is you plug the USB cord into your iPod (I have an iPod Touch) and plug the other end into the power outlet of your car. Select a radio station that is not active and program the iTrip to the same station number. Your play list will play through your car speakers. And that's it. For me, I live in Chicago and 159.0 worked best but where you live, you have to play around with it for a while till you find the clearest station. I have not found a station that didn't produce white noise (A hissing noise like on a T.V that is turned on but not hooked up; T.V snow) but it is very minimal and hard to hear when the iPod is playing. If you're very picky with sound quality, I would not buy a transmitter. This is the only transmitter I've tried so I'm not sure if all produce white noise. But for $20 (Sadly, $89 for me) I would buy it.
