iPodding in the wind
I catch up on my podcasts when doing my local, regular "just going to get some fresh air Sarah" walks and the standard iPod headphones are horrible in the wind.Bob's superb productions fade into the whistling/howling noise that somehow finds it way into my ears creating turbulence around the tiny speakers.
I bought myself some in-ear Apple headphones (being a closet Mac fan - it's the design background you know) from eBay for a fiver. Full report after this Sunday's 'fresh air'.
21.1.2007 UPDATE: No bloody difference and they sound awful when listening to music. Podcasts are fine due to their quality (with the exception of Bob's of course). Wind still whistles around - my hat helped a little.
Any ideas anyone?

Check out Skullcandy: they make fantastic in-ear, over-ear, and other kinds of headphones. I use the full metal jacket when hiking/camping- they're great.
oh, sorry: www.skullcandy.com.
Cheers anon. I'll certainly have a look at those. I bought some Sennheiser in-ear 'phones a while back and they are much, much better, but still not perfect when it's blowing a gale.
