July may be slipping away, but the return to school is real and closer than you think. Getting back into a learning rhythm helps ease the transition, and yes, back-to-school shopping is part of the fun. It’s a chance to refresh gear, organize study spaces, and set a smooth course for the year ahead.
If electronics are on your wish list for the new term, consider this handpicked set of LG gear designed to support study time, leverage productivity, and keep downtime balanced as the school year kicks off.
iPod Docks
Some students pull off the perfect multitasker act—music and homework at once. For others, wired headphones can cramp the flow. These iPod docks from LG offer tidy, distraction-free ways to enjoy listening while staying focused on assignments in the study space.
ND 1520 5W – $119.99
This slim, modern dock works with iPod and iPhone devices and includes a direct line-out cable for other mp3 players. It adds FM radio and an alarm clock, turning a simple speaker into a compact all-rounder for studying, waking up, and settling in for evening reviews.
LG ND5520 30W – $199.99
This higher-tech model accepts two listening sources at once, whether it’s iPhone, iPad, Android devices, or Bluetooth streams. The standout feature is that it charges devices while they play, so cords stay tucked away and power stays up during long study sessions.
Blu-Ray Players
As late-night breaks call for entertainment and relaxation after a busy school day, Blu-ray players are an upgrade over old DVD players, delivering sharper picture and more reliable streaming compatibility.
LG BP420 – $149.99
LG BP420 supports Blu-ray playback and packs LG Smart TV features, offering quick access to movies, TV episodes, games, apps, and online videos. It becomes a compact home cinema hub that helps unwind after a demanding day.
Phones
Starting a new school year often means reviewing mobile needs with family. If iPhones or other brands aren’t appealing, LG provides several solid choices that focus on reliability and value for students.
