 Review of Monster AI Remote iEZClick February 24, 2007
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
After struggling to control my ipod while riding my motorcycle, what with packing the ipod in a zipped pocket and having the volume set, it was really a challenge to stop and converse with other riders...Using the iEZClick remote, mounted on my wrist, it makes it a snap to pause, adjustment volume, or change tracks or stop without having to manipulate the unit. Now all I have to do is use a touch of my finger on the wrist remote, even with heavy winter gloves on and I can totally control my ipod, while my ipod is stowed away in a fairing glove box. Great item and works like a champ. I would highly recommend it to any cyclists who like to use an ipod while riding.
 Awesome for outdoors! January 12, 2007

This product is nearly perfect. I have used it for two months while skiing, sometimes in sub-zero temps. It is great to keep the ipod nestled in snug, warm and safe well inside my parka, and be able to pause or play while wearing ski gloves as I get on the ski lift. I can pause tunes while chatting on the way up w other riders, and easily resume play while crusing down solo or w others. 2 minor problems--battery in wrist unit wore out almost at once--I recommend you carry spares. Switching to other playlists is not consistent on my unit, but my playlists are pretty long so this is usually not a problem while actually skiing. Great Prod!
Good product with 1 MAJOR FLAW February 24, 2007

Love the product, it works great and is much much better than the Belkin product (which I bought first and I am sorry for it).
The one problem with this product is the stuipid clip which does not hold on perfectly to the velco strap, and thus I am now buying my 2nd, because the first fell off the chairlift and has never been seen again. Good business for them, bad design for me. I will attach differently next time.
 Monster iEZ Click works so so... March 19, 2007

I bought this remote for use in motorcycling. The following is an excerpt is from a post I wrote on a motorcycling forum.
It appears that when the ipod's battery starts to run low the the communication between the iEZ transmitter and receiver becomes erratic. This also may be caused by possible RF interference. It's almost as if the receiver only gets 1/2 a command from the transmitter. When I went to adjust the volume up or down it would keep on adjusting and not stop, either blasting my ears or turning the volume completely down. This is a bad thing when you are riding on a twisty road, the ipod is buried away and you can't pull your earphones out. At one point I was litterally stuck for up to a minute with my ipod maxed out unable to do anything. I had to pull off the road to dig out my ipod in order to turn it down.
 Did Monster Even Test This Thing Once? January 6, 2008

I have never reviewed a product on Amazon before, but after using this product for just one day, I felt compelled to warn potential buyers about its fatal flaws. The idea behind this product is great, but it works so erratically that it simply renders it not only unusable, but borderline dangerous. I took mine skiing today. Tomorrow I'm returning it.
The major problem with the device is that the iPod does not respond to the commands from the remote reliably. Most of the time you have to press the skip track or play/pause button repeatedly for the iPod to acknowledge the command. I'm talking like upwards of 10 times from a foot away.
Perhaps the worse manifestation of the aforementioned reliability bug is the volume issue. Many other reviewers have touched on this topic, and I am here to say it is as bad as they declare. When the iPod receives the volume "up" or "down" command, often times it shoots the volume to maximum. Good luck getting it lowered quickly before your eardrums burst, especially if like me, you are wearing earphones under a helmet or ski mask and cannot quickly pull them out. Usually what happens next is the volume shoots all the way down to mute (if it ever responds). My ears are literally still ringing from this happening twice on the slopes today. Wow, great product.
Finally, the little connector that plugs into the iPod and acts as a receiver unit has a tendency to come partly loose. This appears to be happening from tension on the headphone plug being exerted onto the receiver unit. I use Shure E2c headphones with a 3rd Gen Nano, and the jack for the headphones on the Nano is so close to the dock connector (and subsequently the receiver unit), that if the plug of the headphones twists at all (as it may do if it's in your pocket), it nudges the receiver unit out of the iPod. This may or may not account for the iEZClick's extremely erratic behavior, as I did experience the erratic behavior while the receiver unit WAS still fully plugged into the iPod.
So to sum everything up, this device does not work as advertised, doesn't reliably respond to commands, comes apart in your pocket and has a tendency to shoot dangerously high decibels into your ears.
