Here’s been a lot of discussion from time to time about compact lightweight 
speakers for portable operation with the KX3, and probably the KX2 also.

I’ve tried several things recommended here, and they’ve mostly all ended up in 
a storage bin in the garage awaiting their fate in a trash compactor — sound 
awful, too flimsy, quit or broken after a week, whatever.  And I reverted to my 
old “portable” Sony SRS-X33 that weights about 1.5 lbs.

I recently discovered the SoundMatters FOXL Dash 7.  Weighs less than 8 oz, 12 
hour internal battery life, stereo, and sounds good.  Takes up no noticeable 
space in my (Rose Kopp) KX3 go bag.  This speaker was introduced around 2015, 
but is still available from the vendor (priced high) or from various eBay 
sellers for $90-95.  I bought mine from the manufacturer for $90, but they’ve 
since deleted that offer.  You can see mine in the top pic of my QRZ page.

Just an FYI … in case you’re still hunting for something useful that won’t hurt 
your ears.  Pricey compared to some, but I’ve concluded you get what you pay 
for.
