Adafruit Speaker Bonnet for Raspberry Pi
learn.adafruit.com
This Bonnet uses I2S a digital sound standard, so you get really crisp audio. The digital data goes right into the amplifier so there's no static like you hear from the headphone jack. And it's super easy to get started. Just plug in any 4 to 8 ohm speakers, up to 3 Watts, run our installer script on any Raspberry Pi, reboot and you're ready to jam!

See title. I’m thinking of picking this up to power a pair of speakers but am currently powering my Pi using the GPIO pins. If I install this, will I no longer be able to power the Pi that way? Will I have to use the MicroUSB?

    Oh yeah, that would be perfectly fine. It would power both the pi and audio board according to this schematic.
