    The only music I listen to when riding is the engine :)

    Never had an issue with the iPhone earphones. Use them daily on the commute to work and have done for the last few years.

    When I listen to heavy rock in my car I seam to drive faster and faster, so I recommend West life when on your Blade?

    Sounds dangerous - wouldn't you want to step of the seat half way through the song at the key change in a Westlife style?

    Ooh, Remal, you very bad man. I'm looking at updating my home speakers in the new year. Will be either B&W or possible Bose cubes mounted into the ceiling (to hide the wires)

    I had my first experience of B&W with the P5 and when I heard the C5 was coming out. I got to say anyone who has listened to the C5 is amazed at how you can hear so much more of the music and the Bass from headphones is amazing. I have THX PC speakers which are quality but the B&W are in another world

    Ultimate Ears are the way to go if you want quality. I bought them originally to get audio from my Satnav, but now I even use them indoors to listen to my ipod. Get measured for them at the show if you're going. I rate them very highly.

    I have the Ultimate ear plugs and custom ear phones, they are cracking but nothing like the B&W for quality. I bought the B&W to replace my Ultimate ears. Had them a few years and after listening to them at the gadget show wanted some
