For listening to audiobooks, they don't have to great dynamics, so they may end up being okay for that. In a couple months, I'll find out!

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
My exercise iPod is a first gen and I'm pretty sure it can't handle bluetooth. Not a big deal. When I'm biking, I thread the cable under my shirt and out the sleeve.101Walterton wrote: ↑27 Jul 2018, 6:23pmI got some wireless ones for the gym, game changer.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
