    I need to buy someone a present of a speaker system that you plug your phone into. Obviously this is easy when you have an iphone but whats the story with Android ones? She has a Samsung Galaxy S4.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks

    Why not get a Bluetooth speakers?

    The Digital Services Act 2024 [EU] ~ Social Media and You ~ Nanny State guidance for parental monitoring of apps ~ Censorship: - broad laws that will probably effect Adult use of same.

    Any bluetooth or micro usb dock will work, e.g. these. (Actually I think it just needs bluetooth, the micro usb is just to charge it while it plays.)

    Edit: Also you can get something like this if you already have an iphone dock.

    Maybe this
    Can use both Bluetooth and Usb connection for the likes of the S4. Also has a dock for an Ipod/Iphone

    Philips have a range of docks and speakers for android. Check Amazon or the chaps over on the Richer Sounds forum. Richer Sounds were clearing them off some time back.

    I have one of the ILuv ones in as-new nick if you end up stuck (south Dublin). Only used it 2/3 times so it's wasted on me but works fine with my Note 2. PM if you're interested.

    I got a travel speaker, its not great but works fine in a hotel room. Plugs in through the headphone socket. Altec Lansing orbit im227, is what is written on it.

    There are no generic docks that I'm aware of as Android devices come in different shapes and sizes, but of course I'm open to correction on that.

    Get bluetooth speaker, the less cables the better... You can get one with battery built in. My works for about 8 hours with no charge.
    Check power city in bray, they have plenty of them.
