Apple’s iPod shuffle is almost the perfect music player: tiny, inexpensive, and totally sufficient for a quick music fix. But what if you want to share your music with friends?

Just pair it with Creative’s recently introduced TravelSound i50 for iPod shuffle, a similarly small and inexpensive speaker system that’s totally sufficient for modest listening endeavors.

Creative boasts that the TravelSound packs “big sound from the four microdrivers” but we’re not going to sugarcoat it: this thing definitely won’t be raising any roofs anytime soon. But it does excel at the stats that matter for portability, just like the iPod shuffle:

• rechargeable battery with up to 15-hours of playback per charge
• USB wall charger that charges the TravelSound and iPod shuffle
• includes a strap and carabiner
• measures just 1.9″x0.6″x5″
• weighs about 3 oz.

To top it all off, the TravelSound retails for less than $60. Pick it up from Amazon with free shipping for $56.

Got a third-gen iPod nano (that’s the wide one that plays videos, a.k.a. the current model)? Creative has you covered with the TravelSound i80 for iPod nano. It’s slightly beefier, both in performance and price: $74.85 from Amazon.
