What music do you like to listening while riding?

That sweet Guzzi song emanating from the bike...

Post by: TN Mark on July 14, 2021, 03:12:56 PM: I have a few different Playlists on my iPhone. Lately the Blues & Jazz list has been getting a lot of play on and off the bike. Artists like Chris Botti, Gene Ammons, John Coltrane, Frank Morgan, Miles Davis, Art Pepper, Billie Holiday and the like.

The SENA bluetooth headset in my Bell Mag-9 and the Bell DLX automatically sync with the bikes bluetooth system. I also have an upgraded audio system in the fairing and the saddlebag lids but I seldom use that as I prefer the helmet system. There's a 0.0001% chance the general public wants to listen to what I'm listening to under the helmet. Other Playlists range from Classic Rock, older Country, Classic Rap/Hip Hop (Coolio) and Classic Christian worship. In addition to the different iTunes Playlists, I also use the iHeart radio app as well as listen to various Podcasts. The bike's audio system easily allows me to select between AUX (iPhone/iPod), AM, FM, or WB.

I also greatly enjoy the sound of the modified intake and slip on mufflers. Though I can still hear the bike and whatever is playing over the SENA system.

My hearing? What was that you said?

Post by: Guzzistajohn on July 14, 2021, 04:41:55 PM: I tried a few different configurations, they were all uncomfortable to me and mostly didn't have the sound quality I prefer. I like sound deadening ear plugs personally. I'll save my listening to the Klipsch speakers @ home. :thumb:
Title: Re: Riding music?
Post by: LowRyter on July 14, 2021, 05:03:51 PM: I wear ear plugs when I ride. I have 3000+ songs on my phone and Pandora as well. I play much of my home stereo with my phone now. I also have a Bluetooth speaker that I pack on the bike when I travel. I can play the same music when I'm kicked back and cooling off after riding.

My Pandora stations: Dr John, Van Morrison, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Dead, Rolling Stones, Petty, Zeppelin, Miles Davis, Jeff Beck, Blues............. somewhat representative of my own songs.

Post by: not-fishing on July 14, 2021, 07:41:47 PM: I don't and I didn't have tunes until I put an 8-track into my first new car.

I don't ride my bicycle with tunes either. It doesn't matter if I'm cycling 30 miles or 200 miles.
although I have 50 lbs to lose and maybe a few decades before I do another 200 miler on a bicycle

Carcano & Tonti. Been on tour without a break since 66.

The kind of music I like does not translate well with loud background noise.

Post by: hauto on July 16, 2021, 06:38:39 AM: Here and there I listen to music when I ride. Maybe you guys can answer this, why does it always sound like the tunes are slowed down a bit for some reason. Listen to them through my garmin bluetoothed to my sena head set and ear buds.

Post by: inditx on July 16, 2021, 07:58:40 AM: Easier to list what I don’t listen to, Opera, sorry Italy, and rap, sorry KBallowe
Earplugs direct to phone and Spotify or iheart radio on commuter
Earplus through Sena on tourer

LOL - that was a joke. I'm a Zeppelin/Uriah Heep/Rush/Pavlov's Dog/Blue Oyster Cult/whatever kind of listener. Not on the bike, though. I know that there are many people that listen to music while riding but I am not one of them.

Sounds like the Garmin is doing some unintentional compression. Try streaming directly instead of thru the Garmin.
