Music pretty much runs my world, and gadgets, and bikes, well damn, you get the point. Having that music with me is very important, and being able to do it in a convenient way just takes the cake. These little JVC pocket speakers are great. With a plastic cover that folds back and turns into a stand, and a standard miniplug, they can be taken anywhere and work with almost anything. There is an active and passive mode. In passive mode, you don’t even need batteries, your players headphone amp will power them. When you need some more umph, then throw in a couple of AAA batteries and flip the switch.

I just got mine this last weekend, and could not wait to write about them. Your not gonna be blown away by the sound quality, but for the price and convenience your not gonna be picky either. We were on a beach in 20mph winds, and never had a problem hearing them in active mode. The sound is a little tinny, but I feel that could be solved with a little EQ’ing on the MP3 player side.
