I dunno about passive but I got a JBL flip 4 after seeing brands' & I've been in love with it since. The sound is super clear & full-bodied, and I only have to charge it (via USB mini) about once a week with very regular use (I think it's about 12 hours battery life?). It's also stereo, but you have to have it aimed pretty much at the dead center of your head to get the effect. I got mine on eBay for like $50 shipped and you can chain multiple together if you feel so inclined, but I have no clue if you can do true stereo that way.
If you're wanting passive, theoretically you could just harness any old toy keyboard speaker to a 1/8" plug and go straight in like you were saying you used to do with Walkmans back in the day, but based off my experience using it with my mixer I don't think the OP-1 pushes the volume necessary for sonic clarity. That's the tradeoff though, I can't imagine you'll find a scenario in which a passive speaker setup will do any justice to a full-bodied mix like you can achieve with the OP.
