Could really do with that.
It’s the low bass frequency that gets to me these days. It’s like a constant thud.How does it fit though? Just wraps around your neck or something. Haven’t had a proper look.

Yeah, you wear the unit over the collar of your jacket. It's completely imperceptible during riding for me.
I've found the volume controls and track controls (rotating knobs on either side) super easy to find and use whilst riding, even with winter gloves on.
They work well as a noise cancelling to reduce / remove ear fatigue without playing music btw. Just nice to have that feature too.
Only criticism I have is that the external mics can pick up a little clicking in high winds but it's minimal. They now sell foam pieces to go over the mics, which weren't available when I bought them so no idea if they eliminate that issue.

Thought I'd post this in case anyone else is looking for a way to reduce road noise / protect hearing.
For years, I've used custom moulded silicon earplugs from Ultimate Ear. I've had a set of full closed, slightly open and a seriously expensive pair with dual drivers. They've worked for thousands of miles and helped massively to reduce road noise and stave off tinnitus.
Last year, I picked up a Motikom MPlus noise cancelling headset. It's been ace - no connection issues, great battery life and decent sound quality, especially with some Comply earphone tips. Haven't gone back to the silicone earplugs since.
However, I didn't realise how much better they were until I forgot to charge the headset the other day and went back to the plugs. The difference was stark. The low bass frequency from turbulence off of the screen and the peak on my helmet were super noticeable and even uncomfortable on the 50 miles into London. Definitely better than nothing at all but so much worse than I realised vs the Motikom. Charged the headset up at work and was glad to have it on the way back.
Obviously no affiliation to the company and no referral link as far as I'm aware but I would highly recommend picking up a pair if you're interested in hearing protection.
I haven't used them as a phone headset (they come with a boom mic) so can't speak to the quality of that.
