Yes to the Ipod, hell no to a cell phone. IE, don't bother me when I'm ridin.

 

I bought the HF5's.. Found them on sale on Amazon for $99 last year.. I was pretty skeptical about paying that much for headphones but the clarity and sound are amazing.. They're awesome on the bike, airplane, train and just about any other place when you don't want to hear outside noises or at least limit them..

 

I have an Ipod Nano the wife gave me but I rather use a SanDisk Sansa MP3 player/FM radio with ear buds.
Its an older model with only 1gb memory that I picked up for less than $25 at Ollie's Outlet one day. But it will accept the tiny Mico SD cards to increase its capacity, and its rechargeable battery is easily replaced if needed.

One unforeseen, but pleasant side effect is that when I use the ear buds with a shorty helmet in cooler weather I don't get an ear ache (or bugs) at highway speeds.

 

This is what I use with my half helmet. Pricey but worth it.

 

I use an Ipod with the Bose ear piece often. Works well for me. When I want to enjoy the music and the pipes V/H, Chrome Glow has a kit with handle bar speakers, amp,vol control, and Ipod, Iphone or MP3 holder. This system sounds good up to about 80 mph

 

My buddies and I decided to go all out and ordered these............

You have to have molds made for your ears and then built very pricy but
great sound with no outside noise

 

I guess I am the minority, but when I ride I don't want to stinking Ipod, just need the wind and motor singing to my ears.
