I have the middle Ipod Nano. I use buds by "SkullCandy." They're nice and they have volume control on the chord so it's easier to adjust your sound level with gloves.

 

The stubborn husband of a lady I work with had the same reply when he got an iPod for Christmas few years ago.
He would never even try to use it. I now own his 300.00 iPod for $100.00...I have almost 4,000 songs and a couple audio books on mine, and heck no I didn't pay .99 per song...all you have to do is load or "rip" your own CDs to iTunes, then transfer to iPod. Very simple.

And yep, I do enjoy riding sometimes with my Pod, mines "old school" black and white too.

 

The Shure SE530, best there is... but expensive $500

I use the same ear buds. Good quality for about 30 bucks and they sound great. Cool alien lookin skull on them too [8D] Rock it till the wheels fall off...

 

I ride with my mp3 player and Shure E3C in-ear monitors all the time. It's awesome, and I highly recommend it. Much better to listen to music at a safe volume than wind noise at a deafening volume!

Cheers!

i love the ipod...can't ride without it!

 

Actually about to start using mine more, looking into a 3/4 helmet to cut out some wind noise.

 

Tunes ....... never leave home without 'em.

 

What he says! +1

I have experimented with numerous setups, and the in-ear monitors are the way to go. I wear a half-helmet behind a windshield and still get air-noise accross my ears. Wearing my earbuds and an iPod Nano makes every journey memorable, and makes the air-noise go away.

You'll still hear car horns & sirens.

Being 50+ years old now, my ears aren't what they use to be; my eyes do most of the work along with a well-adjusted set of mirrors.

Even without tunes playing, my naked ears cannot hear very much of the typical traffic around me because of V&H BSS pipes, and quieter vehicles these days (stuffed with whimpy motors).

 

looks like shure is the way to go. I might have to invest in a good set.
