But but but....
Listening to music in freefall or under canopy will kill you or someone else.

I've got a bunch of fun custom alert sounds for it already. Pretty cool stuff even if it's not an original idea, IMO.

and here i was, jokingly saying my N3 was actually the latest ipod..

kinda impractical with all the cables, but i'm sure some people will like it..

I don't think I would want to have music while I was training for competition. Too much of a distraction. but if I were doing RW video it would be nice.

Instead of speakers, the N3A has one mp3 player input and one headphone slot.

If you don't have external headphones/speaker you can't hear the altitude warnings?

it doesn't have its own speaker. you must use the headphones.

Did anyone try it out? Is it worth it?

2 questions:
1) Which earphones would be appropriate for skydiving?

2) Is Alti-2 Neptune 3 the only one that has sounds for every 1,000 feet? I really like the idea.
