We all seem to have MP3 and iPod players these days so it’s handy to know that there are some really compact speakers on the market that are perfect for travelling, yet don’t compromise on sound.  The Tripod MP3 Speakers are unique in the fact that they’re compatible with every MP3 player and iPod on the market that has a 3.5mm headphone socket.  You simply mount your player on top of the speakers and you’ve got an instant stereo system!

I’m a big fan of the aesthetics of gadgets (much to my husband’s irritation) so I was impressed by the stylish propeller design of these speakers.  These Tripod MP3 Speakers provide 10 hours of playing time with just two small AAA batteries and conveniently fold away when not in use.  We’re now thinking of investing in some new speakers for the iPod Nano, so if anyone has any other recommendations, I’d be interested to know.
