For a number of years I've traveled w/ a portable set of Altec Lansing speakers (image below) - wired and fold into a small compact unit for storage - not sure the company makes these any more, but still working and easily provides enough sound for a room.
Now I've used my iPod in hotel rooms w/ radios having adapters for that device - convenient although the quality of the sound seems to vary considerably.
So, I might be interested in upgrading since my music is now on the iPod (use to be on several laptops so a wired external set of speakers served me well).
I've been reviewing Bluetooth headphones to use w/ the iPod - e.g. would be great for me when walking on a treadmill, however, the reviews have been variable as to the consistency & quality of the sound w/ this wireless technology (i.e. is it mature yet?).
Thus, I would have similar issues w/ Bluetooth external speakers - for those who have used wired, plug-in options, and BT speakers w/ your Apple machines, what is your preference? Thanks -
