Abstract

A speaker pillow which is fully portable and is capable of reproducing high-quality stereo sound in a full volume range from a wide variety of external audio sources. This is accomplished by providing within the pillow both a dual channel amplifier to amplify the incoming sound to a pair of stereo speakers and an independent, self-contained electrical power source for powering the amplifier.
