Best earphones for cycling?

tadgho

Couple of threads a few years old so taking into consideration the latest technology!!:D Looking for advice on what the best earphones for cycling are? And before I'm shot for wearing earphones while cycling, I do most of my cycling on a greenway and not on busy roads! Main considerations would be earphones with high sound quality and ones that block out wind/noise while cycling. Bluetooth would be a bonus but not essential! Could spend up to 100euro for a decent pair! Looking at the 'Monster iSport Victory' (in link) as an option currently.. Any other suggestions or anyone know of any good ones??

I have a pair of monster ones. Not the exact ones you linked to. They don’t have the rubber buds (like the ones you can change). It’s a universal fit system like tapered layers of rubber. Find them excellent as they don’t fully block wind noise but sound is still very good. Never have to adjust the fit on the go. They are Bluetooth and link automatically. Battery is good and they seem robust too

I'm actually looking for a bluetooth pair. Can you link to them or let us know what model? Thnx.

I have a pair of these JVC ones

Cheap but decent sound, and also allow you to hear what's going on around you (not noise cancelling, but do cancel the sound of wind if you know what I mean)

Richer sounds have a few pairs of headphones in their open box sale thread. Might be worth a look.

One aspect of running I miss that I can't do cycling is listening to tunes. Any considered safe ways of listening to tunes? one earphone in the ear, path side maybe?

Just do it. There's nothing dangerous about it. Start off with the volume very low and increase until you get the desired sound level.

What about bone conducting technology... sounds like black magic to me! :eek:

Don't have volume blasting.
Don't have noise isolating headphones.

Other than that, as long as you can hear cars etc coming up behind, it's fine.

That's what I do, left side in, right side free.

I use these:

The only fault is the volume/skip control is on the right bud, so it's bit of a faff finding it in my jersey.

Excellent - good sound quality and they just won't fall out of your ears. fine in the rain too.

This mono earphone is great. Have been using with no probs for over a year

if you are going to use headphones on the bike, might be good idea to have it in left ear, then (road side) right ear is clear

These are the best fitting, cheapest, hardest wearing, best noise cancelling passive earbuds I've used.

They're great.

Aftershokz are always at the London bike show with their bone conductive headphone. Friend bought a set and is happy with them. They do allow you to hear background noise comfortably.
