Hi All,

My missus is working long hours at the moment (PC type work) and last
year I bought her one of the Sony MP3 / WMA / CD players because she
liked the medium of CD (no file transfers etc) and it lasted ages (80
hrs?) on a pair of AA's, and the Sony didn't 'jog' like similar
(cheaper) solutions. ;-(

For this years 'outside office hours' use I would like to get her some
compatible portable speakers (she sometimes walks to work and can't
leave any personal property 'at' work). She also uses a Mac (with no
speakers) and wouldn't be 'allowed' (nor want) to use that as a music
centre in any case.

By compatible I mean something with reasonable battery life (like the
Sony player), and sound 'good' at reasonable 'desk' volumes
(remembering these are a 'portable' solution of course!) ;-)

Are wireless headphones not an option?
