Right, so I am looking a putting speakers outside my house. The house is quite new, so my mum would prefer not to put holes in it, and avoid wiring costs. She wants to know if there are such things as "wireless speakers." Things that have batteries in them and just get the sound sent from a base station. I said that I wasn't sure anything like that existed. So what I'm asking is, do you guys know an affordable device like this?

yes, they exist. i've seen them. i'm not really sure where you can get them, though (especially in australia)


As an alternative, if you have an iPod, you could get one of those speaker dock things and use it anywhere. They're not exactly audiophile quality, but neither will wireless, battery-powered speakers be.

Mmm... i might take a look in Harvey Norman. I thought that someone might have thought of them though.

I have a mini, but i think it's going to be there more as a music system for parties and the like. I love music too, so i would like to be able to just go into the backyard or whatever and just switch it on. I was just going to buy a cheap amp, cheap cd player, and cheap set of wired outdoor speakers. anyone else?
