I received my monitors a few weeks ago after ordering at the Kelso BMF show. I have to say they work far better than I ever expected with my MP3 player. I took off along the road for their first test ride with my volume turned up a little above the level I normally listen at, thinking that once up to speed I'd need this extra volume to be able to hear the music clearly. I was wrong, I had to stop a little further on to turn the volume down. I've also used them with the music switched off and can confirm that they cut out a lot more wind noise than standard squidgy earplugs. They also cut out a lot of engine noise, so would make long tedious motorway journeys a lot more bearable IMO. They are also very comfortable.
I've done the same hour long commute for 7 years and it was starting to get a tad boring, even if it is on one of the countries best biking roads and often featured in magazines! I now have tunes and have found a new enthusiasm for riding to work.
I know some folks say that listening to music is distracting etc. but for a daily commute up and down the same road I think its ok and may actually lessen my frustration when caught behind traffic. They are quite expensive but I believe they are good value as I'll be wearing them 10 hours a week.
All in all, good pieces of kit and I highly recommend them.
