I could, but I prefer talking over listening to music. And I’m not going to be one of those people talking on my bluetooth headset while I walk down the street. 
Download some talk radio podcasts. Then you can at least listen to talking while you walk.

My parents bought a cordless one, but it won’t keep a charge. Even when it’s not being used the battery dies within 24 hours. It’s not just the battery, either. It included two phones with a separate charger station, and they both do it. But then my parents seem to have horrible luck with electronics.
Are they AT&T;cordless phones? We bought some of those a couple years ago and had all sorts of issues with them keeping the charge for any length of time. Bought some new Uniden ones a little less than two years ago. They are wonderful and keep a charge for several days off the cradle. (But we don’t use the house phones much, so I’m not sure how long the charge will last with a lot of actually talking and use going on.)
