Hello Stacey, These speakers would need to be powered via AC or battery (otherwise you'd also need an amp) but I don't think you want to go that far, smile!
As for recommendations, I'm afraid I don't have any so I'll leave that up to someone else.

IF I plug these into the headphone jack, will I still get decent reception from the fm radio? Can anyone recommend any good speakers?
