    I ride and run better with music so I want to move on from my good but annoying cabled Sennheiser over ear phones to some decent bluetooth ones,preferably over ear ones for the rough stuff.

    Please note all of the above is off road, on the road its no headphones as I reckon its too dangerous

    I predict this will not end well.

    Nothing to add other than that

    Why will it not end well ?

    Can’t see why you would want to but each to their own

    I got some cheap bluetooth in-ear headphones in TKMaxx (these). They have little rubber triangles that stick out sideways from the earbud and do a good job of holding them in while running. Not worn them on the bike, but they’re loud enough to hear a podcast while cutting the grass.

    Have you not read one of these threads before?

    For otherwise boring commuting riding (on fireroads and quiet tarmac) I actually prefer wired headphones. The earbud kind that sits in the ear instead of being rammed into the ear seem to be well held in place by helmet straps, and don’t block out too much ambient sound. Plus I only ever use one on the non-traffic side, so I can easily hear what’s overtaking.

    If you look around on the net, probably the most recomended are the jaybird bluebud x2, not tried them myself yet will probably get some at the end of this month.

    Tried the jabara rox and some beats powerbeats wirless, and neither really stay in place on me during sporting activities. I think I have been spoiled by the bose sports wired headphones (which I keep returning to).

    ps I will sell the jabra and the beats.
