I am having trouble hearing my iPod helmet speakers on my motorcycle at 60mph. Is the volume boost significant. I am looking for 50% higher volume.

When I adjust the volume on this portable headphone I get significant increase in volume when I use it on my IPAD. Can't measure percentages but it can get painfully loud if you go to the max.

I have a full face, but I imagine the wind noise with the boom mic might be too loud. When I am traveling on the freeway at 65 to 70 MPH, the wind noise for whomever I am talking to can loud at times. The speakers on the inside would probably still sound pretty good. This is just my opinion mind you.

The speakers are about 4" in diameter but you don't have to hook all 4 up to get good sound! What kinda bike do you have? I mounted 2 to my handle bar mounts and 2 up to my passinger back rest and put the booster in my saddle bag! I have a Heritage Softail!! Only fault I find is the volume it puts out hooked up to my IPhone! It is not as loud as the sandisk or radio!! I hope this helps!

I have the AFX full face helmet and it works well. I put the speaker on using the Velcro backing on the top of the chin strap in the ear well and it is great. I've had friends call me and I've answered going about 50 mph and they had no idea I was on the bike. My email is bstickley1140@yahoo Send me yours and I can email pics.

The new Harleys with four speakers have a 2 ohm system and amplifier. You won't get good results if you install a higher ohmage.

When using the AUX make sure the volume is up on the device. This helped with my sound.

No issues with the volume. I run outdoors and can't go up to 100% because I can't hear cars until they almost hit me. This is a great headset. Highly recommend this product.

I would say it will depend on your stereo speakers and how much noise is around you..? If you are on a busy hwy w truck flying by etc then u probably wont hear much?! Think like if you using speaker on your phone..more noise harder to hear!

I did not post any movie, but will confirm the crappy sound...any time you are over 30MPH or so, you will hear nothing but wind...that is true when I aimed it backwards too. I have it attached to my helmet, not the bike, and while I used it on one quite bike, the bike type would be irrelevant.

not very loud but it will work I have mines on a motorcycle which I had the speed to 70 miles an hour sometime and I still can hear works fine the alam is pretty cool too.

I can speak through it just fine, and its very loud. Remember, connect your loudspeaker up to the two brown wires off the wire harness, polarity doesn't mater. And mount your siren module in-doors, not under the hood, I think thats what damaged my siren module. But mine is working beautifully now. Any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm very familiar with this unit now.

Well, maxing the volume on the ipod and then adjusting your speaker settings (bass/treble) was what I was going to recommend. I had a problem with this with a prior aux cord (unfortunately, I could not get it to go away and had to replace it). I found if I rotated the wire, there was one spot that it was decreased, so I attributed it to a faulty cord. I have zero buzzing at all. Is the ipod newer or older? My older nano seemed especially troublesome with the aux cords while my newer ones are a-okay. If that is the issue, then there may not be a good solution. Good luck.

Yes - there are speakers that easily slip into helmets setup for music. One word of caution, though. I have heard how great these are, but in some simple tests around the office (low speed), the other side complained about the audio quality. Could just be me - I have not done an exhaustive test, or could have something configured wrong.

This is only a 32Ohm unit and you maybe used to a 50Ohm unit ... so you maybe over driving the max output of the headphones. Mine are pretty loud and actually respond better on my mobile than others. I did notice a huge difference when I plugged them into a soundboard that I normally use 50Ohm headphones. (Your output device may not work well at 32Ohms.) But at the max volume when they start to distort is way too loud for me and I don't want to loose hearing.

I don't use the volume at full strength, but assume between the mp3 player's volume control and the boost this device gives it should help. I can't really answer this to your satisfaction. Perhaps it would be a case of try it and if it doesn't work return it to Amazon?

Yes- with windshield you can hear it clearly at 60 mph!! You only have 3-4 hrs of play time, & you have to turn off the unit by unplugging it! For optimum clarity, aim speakers towards you!

I also have hearing issues. I have Oticon behind the ear aids. There is an option Oticon sells where a optional segment is attached to the aid. The output plug would need an adapter to fit the aids from the standard headphone jack. The highest volume from my iPod just wasn't enough for me so I bought this amp. It does not make a huge difference, just barely enough. I am using earbuds not aid induced. I believe the aids sound like "manufactured" sound to me. Which, is a whole lot better than hearing nothing :). I would suggest getting a stronger amp and good earbuds. Good earbuds like the Sennheiser $40.00 ones I mean, not the $250.00 ones. Over ear may be a good option as well depending on how you will be listening. Good luck.
