shawndoggy Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 If you ride with tunes (and I'm not trying to make this one of THOSE threads), I strongly recommend checking out Adaptunes. Its a $.99 ap that uses the gps and acellerometer in the phone to turn the volume up and down based on speed and movement of the phone. Using the "skiing" setting, this ap is incredible. I can now have normal conversations with people on the chair while rocking out down the hill, all hands free. As soon as you stop the volume instantly drops. I've also got mine set up to be more reactive to actual movement of the phone (not just speed that the phone is travelling), so even though the chair ride is fast, the phone is relatively still so the tunes are really faint in the background. Pretty dern cool. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adaptunes-speed-based-volume/id319479071?mt=8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueB Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Consider using your ears as an extra line of deffence from the crazy straightliners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjnakata Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Does this ap allow you to turn DOWN the volume the faster you're going? For safety's sake, it seems to me the time you want be more aware of outside noises is when you're going faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't hear anything but wind anyway.So I would just assume the music turn up when that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawndoggy Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Where did you set your Speed vs Motion bar and the the Motion sensitivty? Thx for the tip! K More towards speed and more towards sensitivity. Seems like about 1/3 to 3/8 up from the left side of the scale on both sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience too. And the nice thing with this ap is at the moment you stop so does the music (and it turns down as you slow down too). For a buck it's $.$$ well spent.

John Gilmour Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I'm fully deaf when I ride... Got a maxed out portable rig with a portable tube amplifier, Ultrasone edition 9's with a APS cable upgrade, ALO Imod dock, and red Wine Audio 5th gen Imod.. I'm in the club... So I don't dare ride slow enough to let a straightliner pass me. Now my headphones won't fit in my Troy Lee D3 helmet (nice lid... it would meet DOT spec.s and is about 1 kilo.) SO I would suggest getting JH audio 16's to go with that cool app that I also decided to try out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
