Yup. That's what I have at home hooked up our stereo system that I use for my iPod hookup. What up?

They look to be a cord of some sort. I imagine you plug them in to something & there's electricity involved.:p

Before I got my Bose thingy for my iPod that's what I used for my home stereo (only I think it was Belkin and not the Shack's). Quality was fine, easy to use (in the earplug hole on the pod, in the red/white holes on the front of the stereo). It was long, maybe 3 feet, so not long enough for me to use in my classes, since I sit a country mile away from the stereo.

I use the ones from the 99 Cents Only store. They work great and you can't beat the price!

Quality if just fine. I'd say great. Ease of use? Well, it's a chord, so I'd say it's pretty easy to use. :p

I have three cords linked together (my home spinner is pretty far from the stereo) each are around 6 ft in length I think.

Maybe not as pretty in form, but I'm guessing very little if any difference in function.

The 99 Cents Store is a treasure chest for bargain loving instructors. I don't know too many other places where 4 packs of name brand Alkaline AAA batteries for my mic are always available for 99 cents.

Now if they only had windscreens that cheap I'd be overjoyed also. :D Have to buy new ones as the new gym has these tiny little mic ends and the old screens fall right off. Darn it! :rolleyes:The 99 Cents Store is a treasure chest for bargain loving instructors.

I bought two sizes of windscreens for one of my gyms -- both fell off. I resorted to rubber-banding it around the end. Works great. Could have saved some $$ if I had thought of that first.

Do you buy yours in a store? If so, where? I order them on-line and the postage is may more than the product.

I can't keep those things in my possesion for more than a couple of weeks for the life of me. I think I'm taking them off the mike at the end of class soaking the sweat up with a paper towel, get distracted by someone talking to me and then probably throw them right out. There expensive little buggers too!

I was thinking of just getting a piece of foam rubber from a packing crate that came recently and cutting it into a small piece that will fit on the end of the darn thing.. Simple slice with a knife or letter opener might work, then I can have lots of them at my disposal. 8)
Sandy, I actually took an old pill bottle; drilled holes in it and keep my batteries and windscreeen in it. They dry out nicely for use the next time after I wash them out after class. :roll:
