Thank you for the variants. I was hoping for something like Bose Soundwear, bt its really expensive. I haven't known about the avaliability of bone conducting headphones. For me it has always been some very special equipment. And I really haven't thought about glueing a boombox on the rail =). The last one sound pretty possible to make BTW.

Yes, the Bose is much too expensive for such a specialized product. I believe it is very low sales volume due to the high price. But I have a lot of respect for the engineering, because even though you wear the speaker around your neck, the music sounds like it is coming from inside your head. It is a very creepy and spooky sensation!

As far as the Bluetooth speaker, I think it is the best option. Very low cost and easy to do yourself as you mentioned. The aluminum metal Bluetooth model is the best sounding out of all of the Xiaomi models. It is very small, but it has powerful and natural sound. You can even add music files to a microSD card, and the Xiaomi speaker will play without any Bluetooth connection.

Also, Aliexpress has a silicone skin available for the Xiaomi metal speaker. It is only a few dollars extra, but helps protect the speaker from bumps and keep it from scratching your bike.

LG has a cheaper version of the bose its less than half the price.
reviews have been good

The handlebar mount speakers aren't bad I backed a KS project called Boombot Rex from a company in SF called Boombotiix. They make waterproof speakers for bikes/backpacks etc Boombot Pro

Any suggestions on some really budget($10) with the emphasis on durability? I assume for under $10, whatever KZ is on sale for under that is best for sound quality, but I'm focusing on durability. Looking for a cheap pair of headphones for the gym. Might take a bit more abuse than i would put a normal pair through.

I don't think anything that cheap will offer amazing durability, but the QKZ W1 Pro could work.

You don't happen to know what that LG product is called do you?

KZ EDR1 fits that bill perfectly:

1) sound quality
2) durability
3) under $10 budget

Switch out the stock tips for something better though, as they suck. Starlines work great.

The cable and jack are sturdy but I think the following are necessary if you want them to sit firmly while at the gym.

Careful though, you might like these enough to care about their well-being.

Thank yo for the ideas, I guess bluetooth speaker is the best choice. Sound is probably mediocre at best, but it should provide some music without making you deaf to surroundings.

Hi there, first post. Does anyone recommend any of the Betrons in particular? There's loads on Amazon (UK). Hard to tell them apart. I want decent but not overpowering bass, good representation of the sound, nothing deliberately standing out too much. I've seen the BS-10 get a lot of mention here. Should I plump for that?

 

[HungryPanda]

The BS-10 is really good

i have a few Betrons because of all the lightning deals. They are all in my list. I would start with the BS10 and see what you think. If it is good enough for the Panda....

Thanks for your advice! Are they not too bass heavy? That's my concern, given how they're marketed as really bass strong..

The others I'm thinking of are the AX3s.. they work out cheaper at the moment, with the mic. I want a mic since I might use it as a headset for gaming or for calls sometimes. Probably gonna order tonight, so price will be a factor, instead of just waiting for a flash sale.

That said, if the BS-10s are really better or worth it, I'll fork out the 15 quid for them
