Philips Fidelio AD7000W airplay speaker at TJ Maxx for $49. Then saw it at the Apple store for $199. Works ok, sounds ok, decent buy for $49 but not for $199.
 
Very nice. Are they light enough for general use or mostly for serious walking?

They're lighter than the Lowa mountaineering boots they replace by 500gm a boot. The boots are not light though nor are they boot you'd want to use for just walking. The shank in them is seriously stiff I wear boots like this for the ankle support and stability(I tore an ankle up in Afghanistan). They cost about $250-$300, I could think of boots that would be better for trekking that would cost half that.

^Toss it. It makes the owners annoying anyway.

However IMO the best use is to get BT installed into your car.

I'm on a lot of conference calls and it makes life easier for me in the office, plus I hardly use the headset outside the office; unless I'm on a business trip. I travel for work and having BT in my personal car doesn't really help me when I'm using a rental.

Thanks, they probably wouldnt be suitable for me then as I dont do serious walking. I do like a good pair of walking boots though.
