My sister has suggested some travel speakers for her OH for Xmas.
Can anyone recommend any that sound [s]decent[/s] tolerable?
Budget up to £50
The little X-Mini II speakers. A pair of them can be linked together, or one used on its own, and they make a perfectly acceptable noise. I've got a pair, and used them with my phone and iPod for a week away, and they were perfectly adequate. Nice and small to tuck into a travel bag.

I had a [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/JBL-Portable-Rechargeable-Wireless-Bluetooth/dp/B008PCBCJ8/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383077656&sr=1-14&keywords=jbl+mini+speakers ]JBL Micro II Wireless[/url] speaker and thought it was ace. Very light and slim enough to slip into a laptop bag.
Paired with my iPad no problem and never failed to just immediately connect when I powered it on. No mess, no fuss. It had a 3.5mm input and could be charged via USB.
The only thing I didn't think was so great was that it did support chaining multiple speakers (yay), but would still not be stereo (boo).
I lost it on my last trip though. I'm either getting another one, or will give something else a go.
Probably a pair of these: [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/HX-P240GY-Wireless-Rechargeable-Speaker-Pairing/dp/B00DZ69BXS/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1383077963&sr=8-8&keywords=hmdx+jam+plus ]HDMX Jam Plus Wireless[/url]
^ those x-mini
If you are gonna get the X-mini ones, go for the mini max II. They pack more of a punch than the smaller ones.
The cables are fragile though.
If I was too replace mine though I'd probably go for Bluetooth ones though. Veho do a good one. Just depends if he's intending to use with a device that has Bluetooth.
Thanks folks, hadn't seen any of those ones before.
