Apple AirPods for riding maybe?

[hypnos]

I enthusiastically recommend bone conducting headphones like Shokz OpenRun or OpenRun Pro. They do not interfere with hearing the outside world. AirPods tend to fall out of my ears.

For me I find that listening to something on headphones is like driving while talking on the phone. I need to have full attention.

Check out aliexpress for this - similar quality for a huge discount.

I'd recommend something more like the Shokz openrun or H2O audio bone conduction style of headphones.

Work better than transparency mode for ability to hear surroundings, and don't have as much distortion in sound from wind noise.

This coming from an airpods pro & h2o audio user.

They don't have noise cancelling, but I've never felt it necessary when riding, running or even swimming.

I’m another recommending Shokz. I use the openfit model.
When I used the AirPods Pro I had to put a piece of clear medical tape across them to keep them from falling out.

Didn't like bone conduction, i think it sounds very thin compared to dynamic or armature based in-ear devices. I suppose for non-musical listening like an audiobook or podcast it would be fine. For music, not a great solution for me.
The only way to improve the bass response is to plug your ears with dense earplugs, which works pretty well.

I used Comply plugs for years on Shure 535 armature in-ears, they are a solid choice, but the plugs are clearly not great for on-road safety or ear canal hygiene. And then there's the wires.

I landed on the Air Pod Pros for three reasons - pass through mode, the replaceable silicone tips and the ability to share audio with my special lady whilst listening to an Apple device. Awww!

so I've been using Anker over the ear (with a hook, not muffs) ear pods for a while riding, wearing just the right ear.. I have a set of Shockz in the closet for a Xmas gift from the wife, so we'll see how they do..

I do use the non-Pro AirPods for non-riding stuff as I got them free when I bought a laptop a few years back.. thought I lost them so I searched Amazon for a cheaper replacement and found the below.. these seem really good and seem like they could be a viable AirPod Pro option for a fraction of the price.. I'm sure they aren't as fancy, but pretty good from what I can tell so far.. I have not used them riding yet as my ear canals are weird and I'm not convinced they won't fall out.. anyway, here they are (I think they have a higher level as well): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTYCRJSS...fed_asin_title
