iPod Portable Amplifier

[Buckeyeman]

Does anyone know where I can get a portable amplifier without breaking the bank for my iPod so I can hear it while mowing the grass? I've tried some headphones with a volume control that I use with my scanner at the race track but not enough power. When I have the iPod at full volume you can't hear the music when the blades are engaged and engine rpm's are up there. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yup. Stop doing that altogether. I used to hate when people would tell me that. But now I'm feeling the effects. I'm 36.

Now it's earplugs all the time when running equipment. I'm not deaf but I do struggle alot in conversation. Sorry for the rant. I just wish I would have listened. But dam I miss loud music

I have the Bose noise cancelling headphones that I use with my ipod. You can listen to music clearly without turning the volume way up. Yes, they're a bit pricey, but I read here that John Deere makes a set that is less money. I figured with as many hours that I spend mowing my lawn, plus I like to listen to music it was money well spent.

I throw on a pair of muffs and have ear buds in. Don't have to have the volume too high at all. I try to wear hearing protection with most all my equipment.

+1 for the Bose QC2's, I love mine!

My friend has the JD ones and likes them a lot: Shop for John Deere Active Noise Canceling Headphones - GX22225 at The Home Depot

Thanks everyone, I just ordered a pair of the John Deere headphones. We'll see how they work out. I cut 3 acres so it gets pretty boring with just foam earplugs.

Wow! If these things work and I don't have to crank it up I'm on it. Anyone know if they have them at Lowes? Didn't show on the website and HD was internet only. I have two hours of weedeating to do today. Mama is going shopping today think I'll ask her to stop by and check.

^ This. Cheap, easy, and effective. The little in-ear buds work very well for me. No need to blast the music, or spend $$$

I used the head phones inside the ear protectors, that works pretty good or I use the radio head phones, I would go with eathier one
