These foldable MAX191218 Portable Speakers, for iPod/MP3/CD/DVD in white color cost $45.98 on Amazon. The speaker set comes without product description. If someone has to buy it, he has to do so blind. However I doubt someone who buys this system will be disappointed.

This compact unit has a streamlined look and will add to the ambience of home or office. Included along with it is a USB plug for powering the speakers through PC or laptop. If you do not have a laptop handy, you can power these speakers using 4 AA batteries.

Also included is a small cable to hook your iPod with. With the same cable, your laptop can be hooked to these speakers and you can watch movies with great audio sound. My kids really loved it.

It is ready to go straight out of the box. If you fold it, the size is about the same size as 4 CD cases one on the other. This makes it very portable. I carry it around in my laptop bag and it fits very easily. There is an output for those times you want to use a subwoofer, headphones or another speaker system with it. Nifty!

Finally to the sound. The volume is not as little as the size of these speakers. It is great for my small office room and works well in a bedroom as well. The sound as well as the style and portability make this a great buy and a great gift as well.

This unit is a great travel companion. If you are looking for external speakers for your iPod, consider this among the top alternatives.
