My DM really wants a personal CD player so that she can listen to audio books at night in bed. Not a big thing, just one of the little portable ones.However, it must have a plug/charging cable thing and she doesn't want to wear earphones. I cannot seem to find one that fits this brief, particularly the earphones bit.Has anyone seen any,please?
My mum is so good to me I really want to get this for her.
(BTW, we have suggested many more 'up to date' methods of listening to audio books, but she is adamant she doesn't want them)
Thanks so much!

You not going to get a personal CD player without headphones as that is what a personal CD player is ie only the user can hear the music via headphones.

The only thing I can think off is a portable CD player/boombox
Probably abit bigger then yr mum will like, maybe pop somewhere like currys so u can see before u buy.

Something like this

My kids used to have one from ELC and it didn’t need the earphones. I had given her that one, which is why we thought you could get them.
Never mind. Thanks anyway. X

If no speakers or earphones how will she hear it?

How about a CD clock radio? Should cover most of your mum's requirements!

She may have to start liking Avengers.

But it seems it is possible so you might be able to get one that isn't avengers or Disney Princess.

Sitranced there is a small speaker on the CD player, so you don’t need earphones.

Love Captain America so I’m all for that, brickbybrick.
She finds it hard to get back to sleep sometimes and likes to lie in bed with something small on the pillow playing audio book. She thinks speakers etc would be a faff. Set in her ways.
Anyway, thank you all so much! Notsure that looks ideal, thank you!
