Default Music on your scoot

I just got an 8 gig memory card for my music ready phone and wondering if listening to tunes on earphones is a problem while riding. If on a trip I use earplugs which I have found pleasant but as it is raining today can't do the music thing. Man, listening to some of the tunes now and my head is bobbing!!!!!

Will the wind at higher speed blow the earpieces off?

I have a few friends that do it all the time, they bought special ear buds that are formed to the inside of your ear and hook into the i-pod then run the cable into their jacket. They say there is no issue hearing sirens, they also tell me that your attention to your surroundings goes up.

Have been doing that for a while, get the ear buds with the hook around your ear, they tend to stay in better at speed.
I just upgraded and put a sony bluetooth radio in my standard, now I'm streaming the music from my I phone in my pocket to the bike speakers with no wires, it's pretty cool.

I use these http://v-moda.com/headphones/vibeduo.aspx and like them alot. Skull candy makes something similar that works good too.

Yep, been wearing ear buds while riding for awhile and like them. They work great. I just tuck my iPod inside my jacket and run the wire down into my jacket. Sound is good inside my FF or 3/4 helmet.

I have used Shures for years.

I have the 530s but they are exxy.

They cut the peaks of the noise but you can still hear whats going on around you, as long as you dont have the tunes cranked too loud.

The sound of my RK is music to my ears.

I carry the Ipod in my pocket and run the V-Moda inner ear speakers up through my jacket. The sound is great and they also block the wind. I also have the Monster remote that I band around my right wrist and lets me control the volume and song selection. It is well worth the $19. When the RG is complete, it's going to have the boom come from the speakers.
