        If I had a 22 year old bicycle nobody would want it in a museum 🥲

      If I bought one today, I’d spend the extra $10 for a rechargeable unit. The one bad memory I have of these was having to replace the batteries so frequently.

        You can use rechargeable batteries in it… Built in rechargeable batteries suck. The entire lifespan of the device is tied to that battery. Give me something that runs on AAs any day.

          It doesn’t have to be that way? Just because they’re built-in doesn’t mean they can’t be easily replaced. Cars’ headlights are built-in. They’re not soldered to the chasis.

            It doesn’t have to be but it is. Other than some laptops I don’t think I’ve ever been able to get a replacement battery for something after it stopped holding a charge. Things aren’t made to be repairable anymore.

          Does anyone make batteries that aren’t shitty NiCd or NiMh? Basically Lion rechargeables?

          I’ve never seen it where I am

      Whoa…they have a USB-C rechargeable one.

      You know, if they sold an audiophile one, with clean electronics, a good built in amp, and the ability to play FLAC files (microSD port), I’d buy one.
