Default listening to iPod whilst riding uni...ear phones jerk out :S


I've got a pair of these

So I play all of my music through my phone and don't have to mess about
with any cables. But if I want a change I use a pair of standard DJ
headphones a little bit like these

They fit perfectly under my helmet, but I have customised the helmet to
fit my head due to having dreads. So I'm not sure a normal helmet would
alloy them to fit or not. The helmets I use are BMX helmets, so I don't
know whether that makes a difference as well.

When listening to my iPod while doing rolling unispins or whatever, some
part of my body always manages to hit the cord out of my ears and its a
terrible feeling, so i can't listen to music freely.

*Putting the cord through my shirt, beleive me still did not work.* A
solution i wonder if it would work is purchasing an armband that holds
the iPod but I don't know where abouts the cord dangles around...

Any suggestions?




I put my cord in my shirt all the time, how does it not help?

I'm old. My solution used to be a boombox. Same music source could be
used by everybody, but not everybody always wanted to hear the same
thing...

Make sure the cord isn't too long/hanging out of pocket or shirt's
neck...

Sometimes I will also adjust the cord so it goes in my shirt up my back
and out of the shirt along the back of my neck.

Get an arm band for the ipod and wrap the cord around the pocket the
ipod goes into to take out the slack. Feed the rest through your sleeve
and up to your neck. If you do this, there isn't much that it can catch
on to. It works for me, but I don't do unispins.

i used to use these, but i broke them (had them for 3 years or 4 years
or so) great sound quality, it's bang & olufsen.. only minus is the
price, but i think it's been reduced a lot since i bought
them! try to see if you find any on ebay or so, it really is
worth it!

Putting it through my shirt ripped it out anyway, but if I fiddle
around with it more I could get something working. If not I like the
idea of an arm band thing and threading the cord through the arm/back.

I'm young and prefer having a radio on over my ipod, even if it means I
have to deal with a song I don't like every once in a while. I just use
my ipod when I'm away from my house.

I put the cord through my shirt and then have my ipod in my back pocket.
I make sure there is some slack in the line and then put all the excess
in my back pocket along with the ipod.
