MP3 speakers?

[Soundman]

I know there aren't alot of options here, but I'm planning on taking an MP3 player to work so I can listen to podcasts, music, and might even get away with a movie or 2. I'm looking for some speakers that can connect to the MP3 player via earphone jack. I know this does limit what can connect to it, but any ideas on what to get? Now obviously, this is not going to be excellent sound quality, but are there any options for this purpose that would sound OK? I know headphones would be better, but due to the nature of my job, most of the time I cannot have headphones on. This will mainly be used to sit on my desk while I work. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Those look nice. Thanks! Does anyone else have any other ideas? Just trying to get a few choices so I can compare.

mini-jack powered speakers

Creative GigaWorks T20 2.0

I bought these for my mom for xmas. Pretty nice sound for a low price.

The A5's Rickster noted above are very nice powered monitors. The M-Audio Studiophile Av30s are also a fairly inexpensive 2 speaker desktop setup that sound decent for their size... -TD

Is there size/configuration limits? I run Logitech X-230s on my PC and they sound fine for low level music. Cheap as heck too.

It needs to be able to connect to my MP3 player not my PC. So as long as it has that capability, then that is an option.

Hey Soundman,
I just noticed you're from NC.
Audioengine's shipping location is also in NC.
Burgaw, NC
If that matters to you at all?

Interesting. I didn't know that. I'm not really familiar with the town though, but I imagine it should be pretty quick shipping. Maybe I should go for it and support the local economy, eh.
