Has anyone got any recommendations for a small wired speaker that would be good to connect to the Voice Preview Edition. I'm really enjoying it, but just wish the audio quality could be better.

Also are there any other improvements that you can recommend I add to it?

I can see it's been a while since you asked, but did you find an answer?

I'm currently using a Pi ZeroW with a mix hat array and tiny speaker and it's frustrating me because it falls off the wifi... so I need to replace it.

Is Voice PE worth it?

I ended up just plugging it into a speaker we already had. It isn't ideal as I also used that speaker for my record player so I have to swap the cables over when I want to play a record but other than that it works.

The Voice PE is pretty good though (other than its speaker not being great) I haven't had any issue with dropped connections and the click wheel is really nice.
