I just got my new (used) bike, and I’m also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I’m traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you’re cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?

    How do you like the bone conduction? I’ve never actually tried a pair.

      In addition to the other commenter I agree on the podcast thing but it heavily depends on where you are cycling and how hard it is. If you are in heavy traffic, it’s a bust. But if you are in a fairly quite road it’s fine.

      It’s also worth noting that the audio quality is not brilliant but it’s good enough of you are an average music listener.

      I basically never take mine off, I wear them at work and even wear them in bed so I don’t disturb my wife.

      I like it very much. I like listening to podcast but bone conduction + riding on a bike is not a good mix to really focus on a good podcast. It is good for listening to music with a certain “beat”, like when you exercice or are on a long road. Not really good for more nuance quiet music.

        Good to know! Thanks for the info, it sounds like they’re not for me
