Hi, I'm after a portable speaker for my mobile. All the ones I have found need batteries to run. Is it possible to get one that doesn't need batteries? I don't care about Bluetooth (as that requires power). In via 3.5mm jack is fine.

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure such a thing exists. There is this one which uses a rechargeable battery

Other than that you are looking at using headphones or earphones of some sort.

You won't get enough amplification without power using 3.5mm jack so would need a power source. You can buy speakers which take power from USB port. You would need USB to go cable as well. This will help drain phone battery.

Personally I would get a bluetooth one with rechargeable batteries as you can charge independent of phone.

While it is not what you are looking for, I love my minirigs.
They are great on their own and turn totally awesome when you have 2 and a sub. Not cheap but very versatile.

These appears to be what you are looking for http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-SBP1.../dp/B000FVZ2PM

But beware- the reviews are pretty poor to say the least...

I've got one of these and use it with my iPhone quite a lot. Powered by rechargeable batteries and has the Aux in plug that you want, as well as being bluetooth enabled.

Sound quality is spot on for me. If you google around for "Technika spb112" you should hopefully be able to find a second hand one as i don't think they're made any more.

I have some of these , you can connect 2 to get stereo or just use on , either way much superior to a phone speaker

I tried one of those. Waste of money. The sound is hardly less weedy than that from the phone speaker itself and even worse the audio lead connector was iffy.
