GoStereo iPod Foldable Speakers are aimed at music-loving travelers who want to listen to tunes out loud. Driving a no-frills rental car recently, we found that the only way to listen to our iPod was with earphones (unsafe) or a portable speaker. That’s where the paperback-size GoStereo speakers, with their plastic base, came in handy. We popped in four AAA batteries, slipped the iPod into a holster and hit the road. At first, the music was thumping through the tiny speakers just fine. Then something funny happened after about an hour: The static started. We checked the connection between the cord and iPod, repositioned the speakers, turned them off and on; all to no avail. We tested them again in our hotel room and got the same static whine. We had to fiddle with the radio and sing a cappella the whole way home. They are available in white, black and pink. $9, .
