Hironiemus Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 I want to buy some portable speakers to use outside on parties or chilling. Those can be either passive or active speakers. Better would be if I could use them for both since passive speakers are probably not loud enough but if the battery runs off I can still hear music. A volume control would be nice but not necessary.I don't want high quality speakers just some speakers with acceptable sound quality and loudness.Price should be at maximum 50€. Do you have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saaron Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 In my experience passive speakers are really rubbish: the average personal stereo just doesn't have enough power to give you anything you can hear unless the volume is at maximum.While I was in the States I picked up a nice pair at Radio Shack which I've also seen on offer at shops in the UK (Comet, I think). They take three AA/LR6 batteries (a bit awkward if you use rechargeables which normally need to recharge in twos and fours), have a power switch and volume control and can be powered by a 6V DC connection (not supplied). They're pretty slim profile and have decent sound for the price. No complaints.http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?cata...%5Fid=40%2D1441They're Radio Shack branded, but clearly made by a different company as I've seen them with a different branding in the UK.

MusicBringer Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) I use these: Creative TravelSoundI think they give a very good sound for their small size. Edited June 1, 2005 by MusicBringer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hironiemus Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) They're Radio Shack branded, but clearly made by a different company as I've seen them with a different branding in the UK.I think i found them under the name RCA FSP200I use these: Creative TravelSoundI think they give a very good sound for their small size.Hmm those look good to me. Does anybody know how they are compared to the Creative TravelSound 200 or to the Sony SRS-T57? And do they run only with batteries?

smkranz Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 These Panasonic jobs are what I use. $30 (US), decent sound for tiny speakers, and very portable.http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Panasonic-F...roductDetail.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
