Okay let me start by saying... I hate wires! Hate 'em!

To me, the fact that the Neuros had the built in MyFi was one of its biggest selling points (along with the USB hard drive functionality and upgrade capability). Now, I don't need a cassette adapter (or secondary component) to listen to my music & audio books in the car, I just tune my radio to the station, and away I go. Awesome!

But, how about when I want to listen outside my car? I'm still held captive by a pair of wired earbuds, which I'm constantly having to carry around and untangle. Just a little too low tech for me.

So, I was thinking... isn't there some type of small, earbud FM radio that I could use to listen to the Neuros, freeing me from the messy wire? And, with a little search, I think I may have found it...

Wanted to share my findings, and see if anyone else had a better / cheaper idea.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I bought a sony fm radio like that a while back. You have to be careful though, because sometimes those radios pick up local radio stations stronger than the neuros, often meaning you have to find near silence to hear the neuros at all.

Just my 2 cents.

If you go ear bud, you wont be able to get stereo without wires. I suppose you could get a lobeman for each ear. that would be cool. Here are some other fm headphones i found.

here are some nicer looking sony's, but they are pricey.

you could just get a tiny autoscan radio or something and hook it to earbuds if you're really into earbuds. just cut most of the cord off and resplice. You can find those things really tiny and cheap.
