I am also interested.

Recently, the baby part (that is, the microphone), fell off of our deck and the system no longer works. We get a lot of enjoyment from this so we want to replace it. The system is wireless, with the microphone outside and the speakers inside. The quality is decent but not great – the microphone does not pick up higher frequency songs and calls very well, for instance. I was hoping others on this list might be able to offer some options and/or recommendations. The wireless feature of our device is very convenient, as we can just carry the speaker to any part of the house where we will be spending some time. However, I wondered if a wired device might have better quality. Does anyone have experience with the latter? Any thoughts and suggestions on this subject would be most appreciated. Good birding!
