I like to listen to music in the shower to get me going in the morning. I had a small radio/CD player that, along with the N900's FM transmitter, served my purposes fine. However, that radio finally stopped working recently. So, for a few weeks relied on the N900's built in speakers. Not surprisingly, I found them too weak.

I was getting some things from a local pharmacy, when I noticed that they had an electronics section. A pair of "multimedia" speakers caught my attention. They connect through a standard head phone jack and can work in passive (no batteries) or active (battery amplified) modes. For just $20 i decided to get them. Here is the model in Amazon:

They can also be powered through USB, but I doubt that the N900 can provide enough (if any) power for them. So, I haven't even tried that. But, I can tell you that they sound great!
