The i360 Fam has added a new team member named Andy Kawa. This guy is the premiere photographer that specializes in Motocross photography. We are happy to have Andy on board since he puts out some of the dopest pics in the game. Go checkout his website at www.andykawa.com to see his portfolio.
BIOGRAPHY: Photography was always an interest of mine, but not until recently did I start seriously considering making it a profession. Rewind only 2 years to 2008, I had my first photo class during my senior year of college and that’s where it all began. It has now grown and fixated itself into my everyday life. I work as a product photographer for a clothing, shoe, and accessory company; but look for new challenges all of the time outside of work to keep my eyes fresh. Action sports photography is my passion but I point my lens in many other directions. I also focus on nature, abstract, botanical, and macro photography. I have lived in Wisconsin all my life and really enjoy all of the opportunities that the midwest has to offer. My formal education was at the University of Wisconsin-Stout where I received my BFA with a concentration in Graphic Design and a Photography minor. Much of what I’ve learned is self taught but I cannot express enough gratitude to the people in my life who have helped me learn, grow, and presented the opportunities that I’ve had thus far. Samples of my work can be viewed on my portfolio website, www.andykawa.com and tons of my motocross work can be viewed at www.lpmotocross.com

I’m always looking for how to wear a headband that both blocks sweat from getting in my eyes and can accommodate my headphones while working out.
Anytime I’m working out, I’m either listening to music to pump me up, or for more monotonous exercises, I’m listening to a non-fictional audiobook.
I’ve also been blessed with some sort of sweat-attracting eyeballs, complete with perfectly channeled sweat riverbeds ingrained in my forehead, leading directly from my hairline to my eyes.
Needless to say, a head sweatband is a necessity for me, but it’s always interfering or getting moved around due to my headphones or their annoying cables.
After an exhaustive search, I finally found a company named iThreeSixty that makes a number of solutions for taking your music device with you in a variety of situations, and their headband particularly interested me because of the lack of wires, essentially turning my ipod nano into a wireless device.
The wire is almost always the most frustrating part of the other solutions I’ve tried, because no matter what, it always gets in the way at the wrong time.
The i360 Headband takes care of this problem by integrating both your ipod Nano and the small wires into the headband itself, so not only are you keeping sweat out of your eyes, you can listen to music without any annoying headphone cables swinging around.
The headband makes sense, because it’s right next to your ears anyway, and the integrated speaker sounds great.
I was concerned that I might feel the hard Nano against my head and it would be uncomfortable, but there is enough padding there to not even know the Nano is in place.
The padding and material also appears to protect the Nano from excessive headband sweat as well.
While I would certainly love to be able to use my iPhone this way, I think that it would be too heavy and bulky to integrate into a comfortable headband.
I know there are a few companies that make armbands for working out with the iPhone, but I always found those to be inconvenient when doing sprints or lifting weights where the size of your arms are constantly changing.
So, the i360 headband definitely saved my ipod nano from the MP3 player graveyard, and I will be leaving it permanently in the headband for easy grab-and-go on the way to the gym.
For pictures on how to wear a headband like this, or instructions on its use, check out the product now at iThreeSixty.

Imagine a world where you can listen to your Ipod without worrying about wires getting in the way. Picture being able to go mountain biking without worrying about having pockets to keep your Ipod in. Now imagine combining these two realities together. What do you get? The music infused iPod Beanies by iThreeSixty designed for those of us who enjoy an active lifestyle.
What happens when you workout with wires?
These IPod beanies are designed to wear your iPod nano or shuffle on your head in style. They come with an internal wiring system along with detachable speakers. The sound quality is pretty good considering they do not operate on an external battery source. The speakers are inside of the beanie and sit right at your ears for easy listening. This eliminates the need to have wires running from your pockets to your head. Also there are no ear pieces to put on. Everything is kept inside of the beanie!
I had the pleasure of receiving one of these iPod beanies a couple of weeks ago. At first glance, this beanie looks pretty stylish. iThreeSixty did a great job combining modern style with a revolutionary product. Also they are very comfortable to put on. Made of 65% polyester and 35% cotton, these iPod beanies also allow for adequate air to enter so you can cool off while exercising.
So just how functional are these beanies? Amazingly so. Since I love exercising outside, I have found many uses for it. When I go biking it works amazingly. I can adjust the volume so I can hear music and my environment so I’m not compromising my safety. I can also wear my Underarmour shorts without being concerned since they don’t have pockets. I could even wear my spandex outfit without worrying much either . It’s also useful when running because sometimes earbuds tend to fall out and wires jump around everywhere.
The next cool benefit is how easy it is to change music while wearing it. Just reach up and press next. It is much more efficient than reaching into your pocket while running to change your songs. It does take a few tries to get the feeling of where buttons are. What about the wires and speakers, don’t they get in the way? Nope, you hardly realize that they are in the beanie. When you first put it on you may need to move the speakers around to the correct location above your ears, but after that they are unobtrusive. You don’t have to worry about having lumps coming out of your head.
Of course this product isn’t perfect. The main concern is that iThreeSixty’s products only work for iPod Nano and Shuffle. This really narrows the target audience. Also as more people are moving on to iPhone’s, they may want to consider integrating other apple products. However, I’m not sure if the larger iPods would work as well. The next concern is that it is a pain to remove the wires and speakers when you want to wash the beanie. Even more of a pain to put everything back in. They make it easier with slits placed in the locations where speakers and wires go, but it still takes a while to figure out how to piece everything together.
Everything considered, I still enjoy my iPod Beanie. I have had lots of fun exercising with it. In fact, I don’t think I’m going biking again without mine on. Beanies start at $49.95 and headbands $39.95. If you enjoy exercising outdoors, then this is definitely a nice iPod accessory to have around. I’m sure that you could find many uses to wear an iPod with no cords.
