Looking for durable audio gear for cycling
#1
Hey everyone, I’m searching for headphones that can handle long rides and sweat without failing. I’ve been using bone conduction models for safety (so I can hear traffic), but my current pair just died after a year of use.

I found a running shoe store that also carries cycling-friendly audio gear like shockz - has anyone ordered from them? How’s their shipping and return policy for electronics?

Also, if you have recommendations for sweatproof, secure-fit headphones that work well under a helmet, I’d appreciate it!

Safety is the main issue, and the difficulty of hearing surrounding traffic when riding as a road cyclist. I am referring to having both ears plugged with in-ear buds. The Shoks are out of ear, allowing for hearing road noise and traffic. If I ride alone, I use one Bose bud in my right ear, but on group rides, I pay attention.
