How to make wireless headphones using an iPod shuffle and velcro

If you jog or ride a bike these days, most people listen to music. The arm bands that hold iPods work fine, but the wire running from the device to your head can get hung up on a door knob and hook you like a fish.

My knees suck so I ride bikes rather than run. I wear a head rag, helmet, glasses and headphones. When you plug in from the bicep it is cool, but I prefer to be wireless. Using an old iPod shuffle (e-Bay $25), behind-the-ear headphones (Walmart $15) and one piece of velcro you can do it.

I don't want to look like some guy wrapping a radio to my head with rubber bands. This method does not look geeky, it is barely noticeable under your helmet. You have access to forward music, or take off the whole unit without getting hung up.

Here is a video showing exactly what to do.
