5.0 out of 5 stars Griffin Ipod Component Cables, Technologically Superior, February 2, 2010

By	Beachauthor (Ct, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

I consider myself to be a very easy going person when it comes to being critical about video. Kind of old fashioned and most times if it can be seen on my 35 inch Sony, its cool.
However, i received a 5th generation Ipod Nano for Christmas. This changed things a bit.
I was also given a 30 dollar itunes gift card.
Well, i decided that it was time to jump into the world of electronic video download.
Now the problem was getting the file from itunes, to my external HD, to my Nano, and then finally to my television.

I saw nothing but issues heading my way. Well this was to much of a personal computer challenge to let slide. I purchased the Griffin component version cables from Amazon.

Without hesitation i opened the box, plugged the cables in to my HD inputs and the moment of truth was upon me. Before i get to the outcome, i want you to know that the movie i chose to test and download was actually a classic. "In The Good Old Summertime" with Judy Garland and Van Heflin.

I chose this first because I love the movie and second because if the quality of a 50 year old movie was good, i would realize that anything made after that would be excellent.

Ok, the net result of my efforts:
Pressed play and the movie just popped onto the screen with all the brilliance and vibrance of a dvd.
Needless to say, I was very very pleased and surprised.
The colors, audio, and image were all top shelf.
The cables themselves are all very well constructed.
All color coded and long enough to allow you to place the ipod on a nearby table while viewing.

The Griffin cable set also comes with a usb ac charger that will charge your Ipod while you are viewing. Very important I feel.

So, with that in mind, I feel that you will not be dissapointed with this purchase.
What you read about the Griffin product being superior to the apple product may have some truth in the other reviews however i cannot compare via personal experience unless apple wants to send me a set to make that decision.

Im on a budget and to save fifteen or twenty bucks on a luxury purchase is what i have to do.

Have fun with this and let me know how it turned out for you.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
I was just so happy with the end result, I had to share

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Product..., August 26, 2009

By	G. Mayes (Leesburg, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I picked up this cable to use with my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) and headrest monitor in my car. Now my daughter can watch her movies/shows during long car rides without having to mess with DVD players or my netbook.

The quality of the chord is great and so is the length. Having the extra USB for charging is a big plus. It comes with a charging block but thats only for home. If you plan on using this in your car like me, make sure you have the appropriate adapter for the cigarette lighter (only a few bucks).

The only Cons are: (1) the connector that hooks to the iPod was a little bulky so I was not able to hook it up without taking my iPod out of its leather case (Dlo). (2) This cable has turned my iPod into the main media device in my car so I may need a bigger iPod (16gb currently).

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertized, June 29, 2009

By	Fredrik Wallenberg (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been using it with both an iPod Touch 1g and iPhone 3G, connecting them to TVs as well as a portable DVD player (I wanted video setup in the car that I could control from the front seat :-). In all cases the cable worked perfectly. Of course it isn't "made for the iPhone" so you get the message asking you to put the phone in airplane mode, but I can't see how any cable would impact the interference that phones have on speakers and radio signals so I doubt this difference between Griffin's and Apple's cables is more than cosmetic.
