There are any number of powered speakers out there. Speaker sizes from about 4 inches by 2 with a belt/collar clip on up. The smallest powered speakers generally are mono. One of these small speakers can be clipped to a shirt collar a few inches from your ear. My daughter gave me one such small speaker for Christmas that was even in the shape of a Christmas ornament. If I put my iPhone upside down in my shirt pocket, I can plug the small speaker in. I have the 5s iPhone which has the ear phone jack on the bottom. The volume of the iPhone alone isn't quite loud enough to listen to an audio book walking down the street with cars and trucks making all sorts of racket. Radio Shack and other such stores offer small speakers suitable for audio listening. When your trying to listen to a GPS app and it's giving walking directions this comes in really handy.

The albums in Technics format formerly on my website are still available upon request.

It seems as if the iPhone doesn't amplify the speaker well enough. I had once thought about purchasing a external speaker for this same reason. However, I like how some applications implement menu controls while using the remote on a headset. When using navigation application, I only use one earbud. I remove it when crossing streets though. Curious on what people suggest.

With apps like Seeing Eye GPS or the excellent BlindSquare, I find the GPS experience pretty good on my iPhone except for the fact that I don’t have a perfect setup for hearing the directions. I currently walk with one ear bud in my ear, but obviously this isn’t ideal. To be honest, I’ve tried bone conduction headphones and while I’m sure they work great for some, they just aren’t my cup of tea. Are there any ultra-portable speakers that people have found effective for this situation? Thanks, Grant -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
