Under $50- around $20 if there's anything remotely useable at that level. Just loud enough for background noise is fine.

Unless you're looking for a more modern sleek look, I'm sure you could find some old computer speakers all day for under 10 bucks. Or even an old stereo with an aux in jack. Just get a 1/8in. cable and you're all set.
Added benefit is that you can plug in and listen to anything that has a headphone jack instead of it being only for Ipods, not like there is much else now-a-days.

I use a Peavey Max126 bass amp. 1x6>2x3. I did have to make a custom 1/8" TRS to 1/4" TRS cable. Plenty loud enough for construction site tunes.
It's a practice amp, and a MP3 speaker. Isn't that handy? \Rod Roddy voice
edit quick web search says: 1/4 trs to 1/8 trs cables are cheap, and easy to find.

^Yeah, or this. I just bought a super cheap 1/8 to rca stereo cable since my amp has an rca input and it works great, and I've found playing music through my amp really brings the bass out, even on songs with hardly any bass through headphones or regular speakers.
+1 on using old PC speakers. Most already have the 1/8 cable ready to plug in. Just about every other yard sale on a saturday morning has a pair for 50¢ or $1. I've picked up several sets - one for the desk, one by the bed, one portable that can run on batteries. And I'm in for a total of $2.
