I saw two interesting options at http://www.thinkgeek.com. The first is a speaker "the size of a hen's egg" that is powered, but recharges via USB so there is no need to replace batteries, just plug it into a usb port. It is a single speaker. The second is a pair of earphones that clip onto your ear lobe instead of covering your ear. They vibrate your ear so it is like listening to headphones but your actual ear is still free to listen to your environment. I cannot remember how these are powered, or if they are at all. The single, rechargeable speaker is called a mini capsule speaker and I am not sure what the earphone things are called, but after the capsule speaker's description you should see a section called "you may also like" and those should be a link in that section. HTH and good luck.
Have a great day, Alex

I recently got a Braillenote with GPS and have used it so far with small earphones but really don't like something in my ear while I'm traveling. I haveHello all,First, let me introduce myself. Name is Matt from Brooklyn, NY.
been searching for a small speaker I can clip to either theBraillenote strap where the receiver is or to my jacket or backpack which will be near my ear
but not in it. Every speaker I have found is in a pair and not
small enough to accomplish this.
Anyone have any suggestions? I look forward to talking with people on the list. Thanks, Matt Brown mattman1270@xxxxxxxxxxx
