Tempting, since I'm always breaking cheap plastic cans and wouldn't want to use expensive ones for many outdoor activities, though I wonder about the sound quality and I'd want to get one of those $5-ish bluetooth receiver + TF card MP3 player modules off , stuff it in one of the cans and wire it into the battery and analog input. Nice that it takes 2 x AA... Eneloops for the win.
This is not the version with the LCD display. Northern doesn't sell that version, but has it for $39.
Hmm... when shopping for bluetooth receivers on ebay, be aware that most of the cheapest ones are transmitters not receivers despite being described as such.
Plus most if not all of them require more than ~2.4V power supply, while a voltage boost board would require more room, a little more cost, and might be too electrically noisy to get good audio out of a cheap little bluetooth receiver. I might have to pass on these cans. It's a shame they don't take 4 x AAA cells instead of 2 x AA. I could use a 14500 cell and regulate it down for the existing radio circuit but the return on the time and expense gets lower and lower.

Got me a pair so I won't have to listen to wifey complain about painting the bathroom Artichoke green.

Thank you!
