[ninjaman123]

hi all im looking at getting an ipod to listen to some music while on me bike and was wondering which one is best to go for with enough sound volume that i can hear it over the engine,exhaust sound,thanks for any info

[knightc]

all ipods will be loud enough.
it just depends how much music you want on it, and what features you want from it.

tryed my sisters ages ago and could i hell hear it had the volume turned up to as much as it would go,just after one that i can download music from laptop onto it just to listen to while out on bikerides really,any reccomendations bud

ipods are over complicated and over priced. if your wanting something simple i have a 2 gb creative zen stone which doesnt have a screen or anything jus the play pause volume and track select buttons, and its plenty loud enough, they are cheap and robust too

[Simondo]

the problem with the ipod is you need to install and use the itunes software whereas some of the cheaper devices are just mass storage usb dealies so you just plug in and drag the music from one folder on the computer to the folder for the mp3 player

Bear in mind headphones dont last long at high volume, you buy some expensive ones or get lots of pairs of cheapish ones on ebay

Heres the in ear ones I use from Argos.

Hard to see in the picture but theres a rubber bit that is offset and fits inside your ear, comes with 3 different sizes and acts like an earplug for noise. There also comfortable to use with a helmet on aswell.
I use these with my ipod and dont need to turn it up full to hear the music ok.

Or if you want something a bit cheaper and ont mind about colour there is these.

Ipods are massively overated and expensive....don't believe the hype. Archos were making 20gb MP3 players before the Ipod was born!! Sony and Ipod have very restrictive software for putting music on their products...so again.. be warned. Sony like to protect your ears so volume is restricted ;D

What mobile you got? I've just put a 32Gb card in my Blackberry and use that, not exactly HiFi if you're riding a bike

dont get expensive headphones, bike helmets eat through them, something like 15 quid skull candys will do fine, also with regards to the mp3 players ive snapped an ipod on the bike before so i went to the cheap and nasty 25 quid one with a plastic screen and ive had that ohhh 3 years now
