Speakers for iPad Retina

    I was given an iPad Retina for Christmas and I really like it except I find the volume disappointing and this seems to be a common comment through out Apple Forums.

    That said I'm on the hunt for a pair of speakers for the Retina.
    I think it will need to be wires free that would suggest Bluetooth.
    I'd want them to be good enough so I could listen to the radio, music or watch a film and pick up a reasonable sound, (with headphones on the sound is great but that is not always practical,) at a reasonable cost.
    While I'll probably have them in the house most of the time there are times when I will want to take them outside where there is no power point. To that end they'll have to be reasonably portable and that would suggest small

    I know it is a pretty big ask but any Retina people out there who bought speakers, would love to hear your recommendations

    Kevin

    any pocket speakers that use a 3.5 audio jack will work. i.e. something like this

    I use a Logitech ue mobile boombox with my iPad, mini and iphone.

    It's a great little speaker and the sound out of it is excellent for the price it's loud for its size and there's a nice bit of bass there too.
    I connect it to my devices via bluetooth (there's also an aux port) and I've never had any hassle with the connection/sound quality. It's lasted me 7-8 hours on a single charge so it's useful outdoors too and it has a microphone for hands free calling.

    They're available on amazon from around £50 to £80. They're on the apple store for €99 and the cheapest I've seen them was €50 in the airport around 6 weeks ago - but I'd imagine that was a special.

    thanks Ao, that's the type of thing I'm interested in. Will be abroad soon so I might just hold back and see if I can pick one up. - but there's always ebay
