I got a set from Radio shack as well however mine are more expensive =

wanted very good quality.  They require a AC outlet and have the =

surround sound which makes the audible books with music sound great.  =
They
cost around $80 but they were worth it, and if I remember correctly they
were on sale at that time. =20

Radio Shack makes 2 very nice folding speakers, one set is about ten =
dollars
the other about twenty.  The smaller set, the ten dollar set, are really
quite portable and sound just fine.  I like them best for they are light
weight. Marlaina Lieberg
