They are plenty loud and i have not loss the signal yet. I keep the IPOD in the pouch on my shield and have had no issues. The range on these are absolutely amazing. I will try the pod in one of the bags to see if it works but i would be surprised if it didn't. Earlier tonight i had just got home and parked the bike in the garage then went to the end of the driveway to get the garbage can and i still had a connection to the IPOD.
They are loud enough that i can barely hear the bike while cruising at 70mph if i crank it up.

Well for those who care i tried it in the bag with no issues at all, meaning no loss signal.
Funny thing is i ended up going to the web site that i linked and read the reviews and saw a picture of how they are supposed to be worn behind the head ( to each is own), i like to where it hanging in front as it tucks under the top of my T-shirt for easy access to turn it down or up if need be. I was wondering y it was back-wards with regards to the lighting LOL
PEOPLE IF YOU LISTEN TO AN IPOD WHILE RIDING I THINK THIS IS A MUST HAVE.
in saying that there are a couple of small things that are annoying but tolerable;
1 the on/off switch is very small
2 the volume control is small
in saying that i guess it is to be expected with the size of device i am using.

Road Master
Picked up a set on Sunday and have used it for my commute last two days.
My only complaints.
1. I don't think it sounds quite as good as my skull candy ear buds. Not enough bass.
2. I use an ipod suffle and the transmitter doubles the size of it. I'm a little concerned about where I clip the ipod. I'm affraid if it may come loose and go bouncing down the road.
I'll need to figure out a solution.
3. Volume control. To solve no.2, I could just shove it in my pocket or use a regular ipod. But I don't think I'd be able to work the volume very well with gloves on. Havn't tried, so don't know for sure, but the little wheel doesn't look promising.
This is why I need to clip the shuffle somewhere so I can still use the volume.
Other than that, I like it fine. I'll be useing it every day so I hope the batt life is good enough that I don't need to charge it too often.

I agree about the volume control thing as i wrote in a previous post, i do not know about the battery life thing, longest i had been out on the bike in a strecg was 4 hrs and didn't have a problem, don't know about an all day thing. I do like them though for my set up with the sheild bag, i just put the pod in there and away i go.

Don't mean to revive old threads but I got one of these for Christmas and I must say this think rocks.......
I stopped at a rest stop to stretch my legs and walked over to this WW2 monument they had there (about 30 feet from where I parked) before I realized I left my Ipod in the bike......30 feet before starting to loose reception.
Sorry....had to share
