Hiya head-fi'ers!
First post in ages (used to post as aptmunich, but seem unable to reset the password, oh well…).
I used to love using in-ears, but since I've taken up cycling to work, I've switched back to using my iPhone earbuds, so I can hear traffic etc. a bit better.
(Yes, I know any earbuds while cycling is questionable, but the majority of my listening is to podcasts at low-ish volume and along cycle routes, so I feel alright).
Now, I know open earbuds will sound worse, bluetooth is terrible etc., but indulge me:
- Non-sealing earbuds (not in-ears)
- Bluetooth
- With an iPhone compatible remote mic & clicker for volume / calls / Siri
- Need to fit under a helmet, so no over ear / headband bits
- Decent-ish battery life
Oh and why do I want to switch to bluetooth at all? Mainly to try it out with the Apple Watch (we make iPhone apps and are looking into use-cases for the watch).
For reference, my other headphones preferences (not that I'm expecting anything of that quality given the above wishlist).
- Grado SR-60
- Shure E310
I've had a look around, but 99% of bluetooth earbuds seem to be in-ear style.
Thanks!
Adrian
