Audio Speakers Question

[sterlingice]

Anyone know where I can dig up a small pair of speakers that's either battery powered, or better yet, don't require power so I can take them to baseball games? I've had some in the past that I could just hook up to my walkman with no additional power (i.e. it's not as if headphones need power) but they broke a while ago and I was wanting to find some replacements. Any help?

A very quick search on Circuit City turns up these:

I'm not very tech-savvy, but -- aren't all speakers "audio speakers"? Just sayin.

Now I feel kindof sad/dumb. I looked at newegg last night and found very few, and a lot of the battery ones were horribly overpriced. Today I was at Microcenter and had no luck finding any non-AC ones. I just needed to step away from the computer nerd stuff and look at generic electronics. D'oh.

Headphones have very tiny speakers, so the walkman is powerful enough to drive them. If you want to drive a speaker, you will need some additional amplification to get any kind of volume.
