Yeah, speakers are pretty generic... as long as they have the right jack, you'll be fine. I'd go for Maplins, or even Argos.

You Know if these speakers are mains operated?

Re: Cheap Battery Operated MP3 Player Speakers
 

Heh no, they're passive, i.e. no amplifier so no power needed.

What are the cheapest Argos mains operated speakers that work with MP3 players? I cant tell if they are battery or mains speakers

The simplest way to find powered speakers, is to look for PC ones - and if you want some meaty bass, get a set of 2.1 (Subwoofer/control unit with small satellite L/R)

Looking over ebuyer, there are a TON of them

Check the reviews, not perfect, but generally good - and a 2.1 set for the price of most pairs - of course. you can get a powered pair for even less, or move up the range if you want.

To a degree, it does depend what you're used to - I've tried several sets on my PC, and my originals, bought to go with a very expensive SB16 and 2x CD-ROM, have stayed with me through 3 systems - finally moved on to a 5.1 set.

NB. A 2.1 set is normally single jack operated, the subwoofer/control does the splitting.

A 5.1 set is 3 jack, all channels seperate, but many also have an additional input for plain stereo - but anything more than 2.1 is pointless for a stereo source.

Argos, Curries, Comet, PC-World, poundland, the high street.
Almost anywhere.

Most shops sell cheap PC speakers which will do the job, as long as they have an amplifier in them.
