I added a TOS-link to RCA converter and old stereo speakers, then wired it to the old TV near our exercise equipment. The unit sounds surprisingly good with some 20-year-old speakers and provides non-tinny 'thump' that was sorely lacking. Bluetooth allow for playing Spotify, Audible or what-have-you, and having a couple of RCA-aux inputs makes it a utility player for whatever. I can't speak to the longevity complaints lodged by other users, but for $60 you aren't going to get Bang and Olufsen-- works great for slamming music while we exercise, and if I had to replace it in a couple of years I just might get the same one. Probably not going to use the pager-mic function, but you never know.
