Background and Identification
There are various accessories on the market for media players today. Users can customize their listening experience by using docking stations, chargers, headphones, speakers, and more.
Media player docking stations commonly provide the media player with built-in charging and direct connection to better speakers. They also might function as alarm clocks. Additionally, media player docking stations often prop the paired device in a way that is convenient for the user. Media player docking stations are produced by numerous companies, including Apple, Altec Lansing, Logitech, Sony, Philips, etc.
Modern media player docking systems, like various iHome accessories, commonly enable wireless charging. These devices often have a wireless charging pad that the device rests on instead of a physical charging stub.
Docking accessories might be designed to house just one device at a time, or they might be multi-electronic docking systems. Additionally, some docking systems have storage compartments for other things as well, such as wallets, wrist watches, etc.
Media player accessories vary immensely in appearance depending on their intended function. No matter what they are (docking station, charger, headphones, etc.), they usually have some way to interface with the paired device. They also commonly have at least minimal controls.
