For a speaker set that's about the size of a cell phone, the LG Portable Stereo Speakers MSP-100 ($59.99) sounds about as good as can be expected. Flip this ultraportable speaker system open, and you won't find a screen and a keypad, although that's what you might expect from its clamshell, cell phone-like design. Instead, there are two speakers that run from an internal rechargeable battery; a power button; and little else. Sound quality is somewhat constrained by the ultracompact design, but the MSP-100 is a solid on-the-go solution for amplifying sound from cell phones and portable media players.
The light, 2.7-ounce LG MSP-100 is about as small as a speaker system could be, while still sounding remotely decent. It measures only 3.5 by 1.7 by 0.8 inches when folded, with a length of 6.4 inches when flipped open, and it stows about as easily as a clamshell-style cell phone when folded up. The speakers' metallic chassis, which comes in black and silver, feels resilient and substantial. Both models have a reflective surface on their backs that could be used as a compact mirror in a pinch.
