Does anyone else listen to an ipod while they are shredding? I never did, but last week I bought an iPod shuffle, bc thye are so insanley small, and had a built in clip. I clip it on my collar, and I dont even know its there, and I run the headphones behind my neck, so they arent in the way. I focus so much better when I am wearing these. Also without them my sessions tend to be BORING because I have no one to play with.

Sometimes after an hour of frustrated practice I take out my earbuds and listen to the bag, and my feet landing. These sounds helps me get my timing - especially for clippers. Jorden once told me that the sound of the bag hitting my foot and the sound of my support leg touching the ground (magic hop) should happen at the exact same time.

Good music is great for getting pumped up and making solo sessions fun though!

Hi, I'm new to the sport too. I got an iPod nano for x-mas, but I hate my particular one and hardly ever listen to it. The Batt. only lasts for less than a day! It's probably old and needs replacing. Does anyone else have this problem?

I have an iPod shuffle as well. Bought it for shredding. I clip it to my waist band and bring the headphone wires up through my shirt and tuck in teh excess cord in my waist or in my collar. The shuffle is weightless and the wires never get in the way.

But as Buck said, I get frustrated and take them off to hear the bag and stare at my legs when they wont work. It helps me to get refocused when I take them off. But I have had a few sessions with my Altec Lansing iPod speakers that run on 4 AA or adapter. Great sound.

I had a shuffle. I thought I had lost it, but it turns out it was in my laundry that I just got back from the cleaners. Fuck.

I use an iHome boom box and a nano when I shred. My wife likes to wear headphones with the wire running up behind her shirt.

I sweat way too much to have anything attached. I use to wear glasses, but they went flying.

I use my nano 99% of the time when I'm shredding. Its great. I just use one of those bicep-strap things, and run the headphones around the back of my head. The wire is never a problem. The only problem is when sweat f*cks up the nano.
