I need to find a portable CD player that is loud.
Is there anything at all available new that isn't crippled in output sound level? Sound quality really is secondary (I mean it). This is for a gift for someone who has a slight hearing impairment. I really don't think a 5mw Sony or Panasonic is going to cut it.
This is for a person who absolutely would not want to fuss with external amps and extra batteries and cables. And it's a gift so the vintage players are not appropriate.
The ChromeX is sort of possible but MP3 is not going to be used and the battery life with audio CDs is reported to be pathetic.
Any ideas? Anyone heard any recent Philips players? Or???
Budget? Let's say anything up to $100, but $50 would be better.
