What comes in the box? Does this Ipod shuffle come with a docking station, or do I have to purchase one separately?

The iPod shuffle comes with the docking station and the headphones included in the box. Everything you would need to start using it, and perfect for a 9 year old girl. They are very tough and durable, though somewhat small (might be easy to loose).

It's set up to connect through the regular iPod or Nano connection. I am pretty sure the Shuffle has a different kind of connection. More important, though: I returned mine because it was really complicated (way too complicated for my kids) and, worse, sounds horrible.

Fussy About Clock Radios,If you are looking for an iPod that does not need headphones then I suggest looking out for an iPod Touch. As far as I know they are the only type of iPod that headphones are not a needed item, but the sound quality drops to only okay.iPod docks do have speakers. They also charge your iPod (depending on what type of dock). Some docks can even function as an alarm clock. I hope this helped.Godspeed!~SWWPD

I purchased mine prior to the I touch gen5. What I CAN tell you is that there is a docking station for other apple electronics, and it works very well.

You can connect your computer through a USB cord or you can use the iPod doc without connecting to a computer. So, yes, the system can be set up to "stand alone" as an iPod docking system. It works superbly either way.

I saw a comment concerning a dock for my Ipod (classic 160 GB). Do I need a dock for mine to use this. Also, what kind of range does this offer?

It comes with a cord that has an iPod dock on it. Does not plug directly into/on the unit itself, but the cord/accessory does the trick

You can choose to purchase the ipod docking adapter as a bundle or separately. I purchased it together and its great! I can also play Pandora thru my iphone while its charging. I don't think you can use the iphone 5 with the adapter. Its worth purchasing the adapter as a bundle.

Not familiar with the iPod docking station . But it should work if the station has an audio output (headphone or line out) jack. The iPod by itself, will work using the headphone output jack. - Ron

There is no USB port on the unit. There are only two plug ins - one for the power cord and one for the aerial and of course there is an IPOD or ITOUCH docking port on the front of the unit.

That is how I have it set up, worked fine until recently when a large amount of started being produced from one of the speakers- seems to be failing. I have not used the iPod docking station it comes with.

It comes with the iphone/ipod docking station but it DOES NOT come with the Bluetooth adapter.

Yes, it has a dock and aux input. My advice is to not buy this system and spend a little more on a better one. This one i bought and returned next day just becouse it was not loud at max volume.

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)
