Headphones and Amplifier for XM Roady

[sparky-spike]

I posted this in headphones but it probably needs to be in this forum.

I have a XM Roady on my motorcycle. No other radio on cycle. As you probably know the XM Roady does not have a volume control. Currently using a cheap set of over the ear headset with volume control inline. I'm not getting enough volume coming out of the Roady to hear over the road noise. Need either amplifier (like Boostaroo, CMoy,?) or a headset with inline amplifier. Headphones need to be either over or in-ear type or small enough to fit in my helmet and the amplifier must be very compact and reasonably water resistant. Something more than a mint tin. Any suggestions on what might work best?

I use Ety 4P from the line out of a Sky-Fi. I don't know about the Roady, but I'm able to adjust the volume on the line out--and it gets plenty loud.

I ride my bike with Etys in the city, but I don't know if I would on a Moto. Too much isolation.

The right mint amp should get you enough power in any event.

(Not to derail the thread and everything, but isn't this insanely dangerous?)

In my defense, I retort: Stupid is is stupid does!
