I don't have a large portable stereo or anything, all I have to play the music I like is my laptop. So how the heck can I hoop outdoors where it is noisy and full of car sounds and I can barely hear the music? What do you do to get into your dance mode when you have nothing to listen to? It's so annoying! I want to be outside because of more space and it's beautiful, but I have no music! I used to turn my van radio on, but I can't do that forever.

I got one a while ago and they are amazing you charge them up of your laptop and then they last for around two hours and are surprisingly loud. I think they are a fantastic option for a solo hooper, allso they are quite cheep around $10-15

I clip an iPod shuffle to myself and use headphones.

I have worn a tight hoodie, put my ipod in the pocket and wrapped the earbud wire insed the hoodie and through the neck to my ears. Works much better than expected if the wire isn't too long.

Wireless earphones if you don't want the cord in the way?

For serious, I have bluetooth headphones for my music and I don't know how I hooped without them before.

I clip an iPod shuffle into my hair. Doesn't get into the way of the hoop at all.
I have a Sony Walkman W-series which really works out well. It clips in my ears and around the back of my head. No hanging wires, nothing on my body.
