It'sa Mea... Mario

I just can't get it out of my head... 

Alien

that Harman Kardon is a spoonerism..

Charles Tsang

PreIpod speakers... 

Coat

I use a generic 2.1 system from the Saitek A200.

Looks cool and is the first product I''ve bought with a cleaning cloth due to it's black gloss surfaces!

Richard Clark

mp3 speakers? 

Heart

what are mp3 speakers exactly?

mpeg-1 layer 3 encoded cones of paper?

Chris

Nimzy Vibro Max? 

I'm sure her indoors has got one of those hidden in her knicker drawer.

Nev

Seem to have missed the two best portable speakers... 

Thumb Up

Saitek A200 for long trips where you are sure you have power and a bit more luggage space. (It really needs mains power.)

Sony SRS-T70 for short trips with only hand luggage. (Also allows un-amplified audio when you run out of power.)

Sam

MP3? 

Shit quality anyway, why bother spending money on something that isn't there?

V

what! 

Thumb Down

I haven't heard any of the others, but a roommate has the Logitech Pure-Fi Anywheres, and they sound worse than my laptop speakers (which are crap as it is).

Richard Porter

There's no such thing ... 

Alert

as an MP3 speaker! MP3 is a compression algorithm. These would appear to be active speakers (i.e. with built-in amplifiers) which have docks for separate MP3 players.

What I need for talking newspaper playback use is an active speaker with a USB socket and which can play MP3 files from USB flash memory.
