Headphones for cycling...

[Funkij]

Hi Guy's...

I need some headphones for cycling/ spinning at the gym. I will them on the track and in spin classes, so they will have to accommodate me wearing a helmet.

I previously had a pair of ER6i's and they crapped out because sweat got into them. I've got a pair of UE Triple.Fi's and there is no way that I would wear them for obvious reasons.

Ideally, I would like an iem, but would stretch to a behind the neck job.

Thanks in advance

J

Good ol' KSC75 in Sportapro headband does the job for me. Helmet fits over the headband.

i use sen omx 70

cause they allow sound in and are fairly small, importantly they wont break with sweating

Thanks guy's... now that's what I call a quick response!

I've heard nothing but good reviews for the KSC75 (Kramer and others!), but naively didn't realise you could get behind the ear versions.

As for the Senn omx 70's, they kinda seemed to be the obvious choice (water resistant, etc), but it's always good to be open to ideas and not being swayed by marketing.

Decisions, decisions... but most importantly informed decisions!

Cheers,

J

the omx 70, i picked them cause of the look, they also dont cover completely the ear canal, essential for cars (i still only tend to have one in on the pavement side of the road)

they are sort of soft and rubbery,

i use them for running, cycling, general gyming

i actually like the green, as i do the blue triple fis!
