I work in a factory and it is loud. Wearing headphones in there isn't exactly safe so that isn't an option. I was using my computer speakers hooked up to my iPod but it is a hassle to drag them back and forth, and I was considering purchasing an iLive boombox. My main concern is how loud they are. I'm not so picky on sound quality, like I said the shop is loud and that just isn't my priority, and I'm a wee bit deaf so crispness or clarity isn't key. I just need something that will carry over the sounds of the shop. Has anyone here ever used one of these? I appreciate any input anyone has to offer and I thank you in advance.
