Gerbils, I need your audio input! Here's the scenario: we have a family cabin (off grid) on my paternal grandmother's 75 acre cattle farm. This cabin has a solar panel, so as long as it's getting decent sun, one can run wired electronics from the wall outlets. I often take my 13" Asus Zenbook and a pair of entry-level Sony headphones with me, as the speakers on the Zenbook are so bad as to be for "emergencies only" listening. I like the Sony cans, but they block out any ambient noise, and some of that I do enjoy listening to: the 3 little streams that converge behind the cabin and gurgle, wild turkey scratching about and roosting, the Blair Witch sneaking up on me, etc.
So, what I'd like is a portable mp3/speaker system that can run off battery or the wall outlets at the cabin. I don't need something that will give me a full on floor-thumping experience, as I don't want to totally kill off the ambient sounds. But, I want something that is clearly a step up from the tiny little Zenbook speakers (aka, treble cannons).
Something along the lines of this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K7CE0EM/re ... B01H4YXITE
However, with that said, I know nothing about that particular device/brand. That's just a starting point for reference. So, fire away. I look forward to your input and thanks in advance!
