Gotcha. I almost exclusively ride on a bike path so it doesn’t quite fit my needs, but I’ll keep an eye out for them regardless
Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones
KillerWhale@orcas.enjoying.yachts 5 months agoThey don’t reduce wind noise at all. Your ears are completely open and the speaker rests on your cheek. This is for your safety as a cyclist or runner so you can hear traffic noise, that dog barking, pedestrians etc. I would not wear isolating or not cancelling headphones on a bicycle.

It’s still good to hear “on your left” or whatever even if cars aren’t a concern. I ride almost exclusively in a bike path and I really like my bone conduction headphones. I mostly listen to audiobooks and podcasts, so a bit of background noise is rarely an issue.

Oooooo. I might try these! I’m not a cyclist, but I have a bit of an anxiety issue where I can’t have a sense completely cut off from the outside. I feel very uncomfortable when I have both ears covered and can’t really sense my environment.
I really want a VR set, but I know I won’t like having my vision cut off from “reality.” Stupid anxiety lol
