Wireless earphones, sweat resistant
Postby g-boaf » Wed Jul 22, 2015 5:47 pm
I want to purchase a set of them for when I'm indoors on the trainer and prefer to listen to my own music rather than some disco/techno stuff.
I've been using my Bose QC15s only sparingly, they are a bit too nice for that use. Thanks in advance.

If you are using an iPhone you may find the Accudio app worthwhile.

Ooh... Hmm. I tried them briefly when I looked at them, but only when walking around the exhibition.KGB wrote:Sound awesome for the trainer - until I read this review:

I've been having a bar stool beside the bike, phone on that and headphone wires threaded round the front of the bars so they wouldn't get caught.
I do have an iPhone 5, thanks for the suggestion.RonK wrote:I have them - expensive but good.

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't wear headphones when actually riding or walking, these would only be for trainer use. And I can't keep using the Bose ones, they are too good - and with a cable not really very practical, it's an accident waiting to happen. Cable caught in something, phone goes flying across the room...
March83: thanks for that suggestion also, will look at those too perhaps.

i had been running aftershockz but stopped due to them being uncomfortable while wearing a helmet and sunglasses as there just isnt enough room around the ears. Also i managed to drop them and the plastic around the edges broke.Tim Mifsud wrote:I've got the Jaybird Bluebuds X.

It took me a while to work out how to get the Aftershokz comfy for me. I found with my Lazer Helmet that they work fine if I put them on first then put the sunnies over the top. The sunnies and Aftershokz sit inside the helmet straps (blasphemous I'm sure to the Velominati!) but they sit outside the adjustable plastic headband of the helmet. Seems to be fine so far. I haven't dropped mine yet but am scared I will and they might break. They are also a pain to carry around off the head with their awkward shape.tomee wrote: I had been running aftershockz but stopped due to them being uncomfortable while wearing a helmet and sunglasses as there just isnt enough room around the ears.
