False advertising....

If you read the description it tells you.. "Gone are the days of tangled headphone cords, open jacket zippers, and frozen, fumbling fingers dropping cell phones and iPods into the snow." as far as I can see, I still have to connect my ipod using "headphone cords". This was a big selling point for me... very disapointed, especially as I paid full price for them. In the Tech Specs section it also states the cord lenth as "cordless" and the input connection as "iPod dock adapter..." I guess you could call a standard 3.5mm audio jack as an iPod dock adapter, but I wouldn't.
Lastly the description states... "The wireless Tuneups mount in the earflaps of your compatible Giro helmet, and come with a DJ-style headphone strap so you can use them off the slopes." Don't expect a DJ-style headphone strap, you won't get one. There is no way to remove the speakers from the helmet earflaps anyway.
As far as everything else goes.. it plays the music on your mp3 player and connects to a bluetooth enabled phone just fine.
