Sometimes use a helmet so neck band style seems like the best compromise so far. I use a variation of <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/KAMTRON-Headphones-Technology-Cancellation-Microphone-Black/dp/B073VF7FY7/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&amp;aaxitk=28q8Sy3VRrPo51lXIPuuFQ&amp;hsa_cr_id=6477892290902&amp;pd_rd_r=845335c5-26e4-4f1e-8463-c66b7e3eedc1&amp;pd_rd_w=A6FnU&amp;pd_rd_wg=wntP3&amp;ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0_img">these</a> (may or may not be available off-Amazon).

I've ploughed through many an audio-book on longer rides. Was also useful in the office (before WFH) to listen to things without looking ignorant of my surroundings. Must have clocked up 00s of hours of use on mine. Battery life was enough to get through a dark, lonely 150k (the last half of a 300k Audax route check). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20444#post-342586 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 22:03:36 +0000 minus six 342586@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>inEar Stagediver 3 for me</p> <p>in-ear monitors, with over-ear wires, they don't fall out</p> <p><img src="https://cdn.idealo.com/folder/Product/3929/7/3929768/s1_produktbild_gross_13/inear-stagediver-3.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20444#post-342584 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 21:54:17 +0000 gembo 342584@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot, thanks for getting me it tho.

Wireless, decent battery life, sweat-proof and the bone conduction means you can still hear ambient sound. Also as an all-in-one no worry about them falling out as with earbuds.<br /> Their primary downside is that music is frequently drowned out by wind noise.<br /> I prefer them to my AirPods on the bike </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20444#post-342581 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 20:47:06 +0000 dessert rat 342581@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>These <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/AfterShokz-Conduction-Bluetooth-Headphones-Microphone-grey/dp/B018XNGQOE/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?adgrpid=69648715396&amp;dchild=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAz4b_BRBbEiwA5XlVViPPeK792bYm-_8GqqGTLquNuA6zIzwmanKKMpA9almI1FQ8h4uT1BoCRSoQAvD_BwE&amp;hvadid=345406842702&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvlocphy=9046888&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvrand=4099987910153374939&amp;hvtargid=kwd-330371842924&amp;hydadcr=7554_1818775&amp;keywords=trekz+titanium+headphones&amp;qid=1608666315&amp;sr=8-5&amp;tag=hydrukspg-21">don't use Amazon</a></p> <p>I use mine every single day.

They stay wedged in when I walk, which is at least as jiggly as when I run and presumably much more jiggly than cycling. Bluetooth 5 and aptX and so on. Sound quite nice, no cable rustle, lots of battery life, but obviously if you yawn or waggle your ears too much they're out. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20444#post-342573 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 20:05:27 +0000 SRD 342573@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I got a decent pair of noise cancelling Sony headphones (WH-1000XM3 ) when I was commuting to London/working in an open plan office. Even more useful when we were all wfh/homeschooling. Pricey but comfy. Wouldn’t cycle in them though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20444#post-342569 Tue, 22 Dec 2020 19:19:49 +0000 gembo 342569@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot have you written to Farther Christmas about this?
