mini speaker for iphone
 

Hi,
I was writing to inquire if anyone can recomend a portable single driver rechargeable speaker to be used with an iphone. My requirements are that it needs to fit in my backpack/pocket (if possible), has a rechargeable battery, last around 8 hours of continuous video sound/music, loud enough to play in a 20x20 room and easily be recharged.

I was thinking more along the lines of something like these

thanks in advance

I recomend the Monster Clarity bluetooth speaker.
It sounds great. I dont have one myself; since I carry a Bose Bluetooth; but the Clarity has all the atributes you are looking for, the price is right if you find it online; and the sound is great; not as loud as the Bose; but really good in a more compact package.
We have compared them side by side with my buddy, and the claritty holds its own really well in a regular hotel room.

I have the Kinivo ZX100 and iHome IHM60PT and they both work equally well. I like the Kinivo the best, it has a wrap around cord along the base, the sound is a tiny bit better and I like the style better than the iHome. Both have a lot of positive reviews. I have had them both a year and a half and they still work. There are probably newer models now. The price point for both are $20 or less so I would call the sound quality fantastic. I use them with my iPhone, iPad and pre-iPad my Kindle Fire. They are both very small and fit in the palm of my hand. I cannot tell you exactly how long they will last but I have used both around 4 hours straight without recharging.

I guess it depends on how you define "mini".

I have the Logitech Mini Boombox and I think it's the best gadget I've bought in years. It's tiny, loud (way louder than I expected), and the battery lasts forever like they claim. I velcro it onto my scooter for driving around and bring it to the beach. Great for travel too, when sitting on the porch of your hotel, etc. The bluetooth is great with my iPhone and it even makes a great speakerphone. It's just $99. Check the Amazon reviews, they compare it to the other portable speakers out there.

It's on the pricier side($199) but if you can swing it, I highly recommend the FoxLv2. This thing is really incredible and easily slips into a laptop bag or carry on. Packs a serious punch volume wise and the sound quality is really good throughout different volume levels.
