With the Logitech s125i portable speakers, you're getting a triple bonus score: it's an awesome compact set of speakers, it's good-looking and it's really good quality.

The portable speaker system is really simple to use and only has four buttons - on/off, increase/decrease volume. Made to work with iPod, you'll be able to charge your device, while playing music, just by docking it in cradle on top.  I also loved the fact that it works with just about any other audio device, too.  Connect  any other portable music player or your PC or CD player, using the standard 3.5 mm stereo jack - the audio options are pratically limitless.

It comes with a power cable, which means that when you're at home, you can plug it into a power socket. When you leave the house it's a simple matter of opening the base and plugging in four AA batteries, to make the s125i into a portable speaker system.

I'm looking forward to taking the s125i with on my next picnic and testing how well the sound carries and how long a set of batteries last.
