Well since my tablet speaker is broken, I was looking for future solutions. I'll probably RMA this tablet to get a good one, but searching the smallest speaker I found was this

I'd be nice to get something a little smaller, but I haven't seen anything else...

Right when i purchased my HTC HD2, I knew that the headset that was budled with the phone was going to be utter crap... so I decdied to go searching for the "Perfect" Headset... (Music is very important to me.. and I'm not into the Blue-Tooth headsets) so I ended up purchasing these...
V-Moda Headset
I never heard of the brand but after some research and personal use.. They are by far the best ear pieces that I have ever owned... I highly recommend these to anyone who's currently in the market for some... although they are priced a little higher then most headsets.. I say that they are worth every penny and the quality in the Sound and Looks department is apparent.
Here's their website
www.v-moda.com
5/5 *if anyone has any questions feel free to post*
Cheers
I bought a set of V-Moda's about 2 years ago when the first iPhone came out. It had a recessed headphone port, and very few headphones would fit without an adapter. I ordered a pair for about £100 as they sponsored modmyifone and were highly recommended. The sound quality is great... very bassy, and they look good too. Mine have a single button on the mic which lets me answer the call or use MSVC. They've maybe moved on a bit in the last year?
I'd definately buy another set.
Yea the model I bought came standard with a 3.5 jack... but it did have an option for you to send proof of purchase if needed and they will send you a 2.5 adapter.. which i thought was kinda cool... great product
just figured i'd add the fact that i see that Best Buy is carrying these... and there's a V-Moda sale for these premium headsets... so yea.. just incase some others are interested for rocking some nice headsets with your shiny HD2

There look nice,but the price is to cheap for to be good!I use Sony mdr-ex38,I recommended instead,good price and good sound!

Those are probably some of the nicest in-ears you can buy for less than $300.
Read this if the price seems a little much.
The shure i2c-m's can be had of ebay for a very good price and offer very good quality sound. The same drivers as the e2c's that have very good dynamic drivers that increase in sound quality quite considerably after they been used for a reasonable amount of time. I'd also buy a tripple flange set of plugs or some foam ones, my favourite being the orange medium size shure brand, they give me a perfect fit with complete sound isolation. The quality of the microphone on these is also surprisingly good, better than my expensive bluetooth sonys.
The only problem is a lack of hardware button at the neck of the headphones for answering so i just press the phones hardware button in my pockets during use.
The following are what I use to listen to music and talk hands free.
When speaking to someone the caller is in stereo.
Although not "in ear" very reasonably priced.

Thanks bud, looks interesting
hey thats what these forums are for yea?? lol no problem
Last night I got inspired (by the Netflix app ) to make a functional and nice looking stand. But instead of jumping in blindly with plexiglass or something I built a prototype out of cardboard.
I was thinking of making the final version a bit smaller so it fits nicer when vertical and maybe making a notch in it so the home button is accessible. Something I can't figure out how to fix is that the speaker is inside the stand when vertical. But other than that I'm really happy how this turned out and can't wait to make a final version.
Attached are some pictures of it holding the Nook horizontal and vertical. Any comments, ideas or questions would be appreciated. Thank you.
Not bad though if you are worried about the speaker it would be realy easy to rigup a pair of speakers with a 1/8" stereo jack on your final build
Wouldnt it just be easier/cheaper to buy one of those stands?
Im all about making custom things, but in this case, I dont see the benfit of what you made versus this: http://www.amazon.com/Arkon-Portabl...VOOY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1305477985&sr=8-2

Ah phooey! I see the benefit of DIY. True, sometimes there are cheaper solutions out there. But this user's solution gave "me" many ideas for other devices, my wife's iPad, my Evo, Books! I like the ingenuity involved in the OP's solution. I'm going to make something like this out of plexiglass--the OP's idea. 1 sheet of pl (home depot), my jigsaw, some cement, buff the edges, felt the edges to protect the nook, rubber little feet (Rite Aid), listen to jazz while I'm making it and have a blast! $20. It's going to look a lot better than a little cheap rack holding holding up a nook. Nice going!
I agree, sometimes it's about the journey, not the destination.

I have one of these and, while it's great for my XOOM, it doesn't really fit the NC very well. It's OK for landscape but if you want your NC to stand in portrait while charging you have to put the stand on a book or the edge of a table to allow space for the cable. Actually I found this thread because I was looking for a better stand.
I definitely see the advantages of DIY to satisfy your own requirements. Good luck!
I use this case stand since I got my Nook Color in January. I see that now Amazon for fulfils the orders for it now. I had to wait two weeks back then but it was worth it. No excuses not to get it now.

Get a good Bluetooth keyboard I actually bought the Apple one from Amazon and you're in heaven.
Okay, so I think it's pretty much been proven that the box the nook color came in is probably one of the best product boxes... ever. And I came to show you why it is indeed absolutely amazing.
This is the time you go to look at the pictures, I attached
And now I tell you what I did:
1. Ripped apart my old external speakers
2. Made sure the speakers still worked, fixed them where they needed them
3. Cut 3 holes in my NookColor box
4. Placed speakers in 2 of the holes and ran the headphone jack through the other one.
5. Put the "motherboard", controls, and power source in bottom of box.
6. Win.
This is mainly for watching movies either on netflix or on my sd card, then it's also major win for when I play SNESoid, PSXoid, or N64oid. This is literally like having a tv(a small one). But I can also stand up my nook when I want to listen to music, but I don't really store music on my nook. Use my android phone for that.
Does anyone else think this is awesome????
Cool idea! I might try this out.
Very clever, I like it.
Yes, it is awesome. Good job. Cardboard actually sounds pretty good sound for building speaker cases.

I know I was quite impressed. There was very little to no(noticeable) distortion of any kind. Only problem is low quality speakers = lots of grain. But I would never do this to expensive speakers so I am okay
EDIT: I fixed the grain by messing with the Nook Tweaks App by dalingrin + using electric tape instead of packaging tape
Try googing 'infinite baffle'; you really should have made larger holes for the speakers so all of the rear facing cone was inside the box. Otherwise you get sound waves of opposite phase cancelling out, or otherwise distorting, the sound from the forward facing cones.
This is a neat idea for Barnes and Noble's Nook Color 2 implementation.

Yeah when I was installing the speakers I was actually thinking about that(I didn't know the term though). But for now I have the speakers like this because I have yet to find a real solution to their problem, I need to soder(spelling?) on the connections. Right now, I either have it wrapped around the connection or taped on. I'm scared something might break if I push them in as is.
That is a neat idea and actually makes for a pretty cool little stand.
btw it is spelled solder.

Yeah I saw other people modifying there's like painting it, adding a charging cable in it. So I got the idea for movie stand and decided to try it out, so thanks!
And hanks for the spelling tip as well, I have been pronouncing it "saw-der" since I first saw the word in 5th grade. (I used to be in the PSP hacking scene. Modifying batteries that would allow you to essentially "root" your PSP.) So when I needed to spell it I completely forgot about the "l".
Awesome!!! Got me thinking about a nice speaker setup
Totally agreed. It IS the best product box ever. I set it up on my desk at work and can slide it in and out for when I need to use it. Not to mention the magnetic shut, and solidity of the box...is there anything the Nook Color isn't amazing with?
Edit: I just figured out you can use the box as a stand too. I was wondering what that slit at the bottom was....I feel like a 'tard. ><
That is pretty original.... I like it!
Sent from MIUI'ed Nookie Color! Love the Nookie!
Looks great! Where's the subwoofer?
are those speakers powered solely by the nook's 3.5mm Jack?
Good idea, but we can tell that fabrication isn't one of your strong suits...lol
Loosely pack some fiber fill like from inside a pillow inside the speaker inclosure (behind the speakers) It should knock down the tinney sound somewhat.
Lol, this is a tad bit ridiculous, but cool nonetheless.
THat is freakin awesome man....very creative
cool idea great info
I've noticed that speaker horns are pretty common and cheap for ipads/iphones but I can't seem to find any for the N7. My N7 is already loud enough but the tone can really vary based on how I've got it propped up.
Has anyone seen them for sale or know of a generic alternative?
Not seen one but it should be pretty easy to make one? I know that the sound improves markedly when I use my hand as a kind of speaker horn to guide the sound to the front.
Let's wait for some industrious N7 user to 3d print one up. Seems like a great idea.
Especially if it transforms the stereo speakers to work in landscape mode properly.

Exactly. And seeing the popularity of the N7, I'm surprised no one has jumped on this yet when they're ubiquitous for Apple products.

Something like this? It's okay, but the idea of the horn is portability. There are some horns that are actual stands but others are merely clip on devices.

I made one for my old S2 on my CNC Router. I could easily make one for the N7.

That actually looks great, but I'm thinking something smaller and portable. For example, this was on Shark Tank last week and got me thinking about the whole thing: thesoundbender.com . I've seen other "horns" that literally look like gramophones sticking out of the side, and there are a ton on ebay, so I'm surprised that even after the market has had several months to port things over to this tablet that nothing has come about.
Try looking on kickstarter, you're guaranteed to find a ridiculous amount of those and stupid iPhone cases and stands that all do the same thing.
