Many accessories have been made for the iPod line. A large number have been made by third-party companies, although many, such as the [[iPod Hi-Fi]] and [[iPod Socks]], have been made by Apple. Some accessories added extra features that other music players have, such as sound recorders, FM radio tuners, wired remote controls, and [[composite video]] cables for TV connections. Other accessories offered unique features like the [[Nike+iPod]] pedometer and the iPod Camera Connector. Other notable accessories included external speakers, wireless remote controls, protective case, screen films, and wireless earphones.<ref>[https://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er88.aspx In-The-Ear Bluetooth Earphones] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090220103013/https://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er88.aspx |date=February 20, 2009}}.
