At home I use Bose Soundsport Wireless but when cycling the wind noise is *terrible*. I suspect I need in-ear ("canalphone"?) phones. I also want Bluetooth with neckband. I cycle on quiet roads so I'm happy with isolating or noise-cancelling phones but neither is necessary, it's the wind noise I want to stop.

I have searched on Headfi but relevant threads are quite old.

Any recommendations? Up to £100. Many thanks

Maybe something with a very low profile?

I had some Westone UM Pro 10's that were absolutely the lowest profile IEM I've tried. Something like those, small and bean shaped may be your best bet. Audiosense T180, T260 & , T300 are also similar.

They are MMCX and can be used with a neckband.


Slightly larger are the Shure, Brainwavz, Tennmak Pro and other similarly shaped IEM's.

Oh, so you can buy the bluetooth neckband separately?

I have a pair of two-pin (not MMCX) Etymotic ER4-P. Can you buy a Bluetooth neckband to fit them?

Depends on the 2-pin design, but it is possible. There are adapters for $10-15 to convert that may work.

Fiio LC-BT2, TRN BT3S & many others are out there.

You could also get something like a Radsone ES100, Fiio BTR3k or Quedelix 5k. If you don't mind using a small wireless adapter with a regular (or short) cable.

I can't find any bluetooth neckbands that will fit the unusual Etymotic connector?

I found some Etymotic to MMCX adapters (Awwan on EBay) but they're $38 plus import duty. Are there any cheaper, preferably available in the UK?

many thanks

I meant use a normal MMCX neckband with an additional adapter to the Etymotics, if there is one that fits.

A quick search of AliExpress found this:

No idea if any available in the UK.



There is also a cheaper mh334 adapter that also appears to have a similar pin layout, but I cannot confirm it will work.

Wow, that's as expensive as Awwan's, I think I'll bite the bullet and get his.

You're suggestion about Radson/Fiio/Qudelix reminded me that somewhere I've got this cheap-and-cheerful MPOW Bluetooth adapter so while I'm waiting for the MMCX connectors I'll have a play with that.

Thanks for the advice.

No problem.
