This is a really cool way to listen to you favorite Podcasts from the comfort of your car. Instead of buying some really expensive adapter for your MP3 player, you might want to read this review on the Brando Air-Wave FM Transmitter to see if the budget solution might be the fix that you are looking for.

It’s the age old dilemma - how to best listen to one’s music in the car, when said music is all contained on a player that is not hard-wired to the auto’s sound system. One of the easiest and most effective ways that I have found to solve this problem is with the use of an FM transmitter. Today, I’ll take a look at the Air-Wave FM Transmitter, available from Brando.

The Air-Wave measures 2.54″ tall x 2.33″ wide x 0.73″ thick and weighs 1.5 ounces. It is composed of glistening matte silver plastic and features an LCD screen on the front as well as two buttons for advancing or reversing the broadcast band number. The Air-Wave’s compact design is quite clever in that it has a six inch cable which wraps around its own diameter then plugs into a receptacle for efficient storage. The device itself is quite solid as I was not able to detect any creaks when I purposely tried to torque and squeeze it.

The back holds the battery compartment…

To use the Air-Wave, the 3.5mm plug must be released and then inserted into the music players head-phone jack.
