Re: Sound advice needed
Sound on my 12 PowerBook is awesome, for a laptop anyway. Watched Lawrence of Arabia on it when staying in a motel room and didn't even bother with headphones.

Re: Sound advice needed
My favorite setup is to just use my iPod for listening and leave my PowerBook for other things. Headphones.com has a great selection of all types of headphones ranging from studio to home/office to portable solutions. Lots of recommendations and a function on the web site to compare specs on each headphone. Or for the ultimate portable solution, pair the iPod with a set of Altec Lansing inMotion Portable iPod Speakers. It has fairly good sound for a portable setup. You can't ask for house speaker sounds when you're on the road but at least it's a nice option: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore =T8355LL/A When I'm on the road, I'd rather turn on the iPod than open my laptop to listen to music. It's easier to lug around the iPod than having to keep my laptop open.

Re: Sound advice needed
Just my 2 cents but you may want to go to a large retail store and try on Altec Lansing Portable speakers for iPods, and also from Monster Cables the iSpeakers Portable. That might just be the thing for you. Also a great set of ear/head phones could do the trick. Sony (among others) have a wide variety, so does Shure and even Wireless ones. Kind Regards H.
