  • anybody on here got experience with those Shokz bone conduction headphones?

    I usually partner my solo paincave moments with a bluetooth speaker, but im doing a 600 in a few weeks and reckon the bits I'll want music the most are also times where the speaker may be [more] antisocial. I did Frontier300 with wired headphones (handy as phone can charge while listening) but I have a modern phone now so no headphone port.

  • I like mine but they can suffer from wind noise cancelling out the sound quite easily. For prolonged periods combined with glasses they can make my ears a bit sore too. I have the basic ones though so these issues might be less of an issue on the others. Think about where you’ll store them when not in use as well, I fit mine into one of my jersey pockets and it’s fine but they don’t pack up like wired or standard in ear wireless headphones obviously so something to think about.

  • Around your neck? Or into your helmet vents like glasses, perhaps?

  • You make a good point re. packing them up, and the ear thing could be a dealbreaker. I have enough trouble with my glasses for that. Plus I have extra wind noise to deal with because of the speed holes in my earlobes.

    Pretty good summary.
    They are a bit much on the ears along with sunglasses, but i can usually find a way to make them fit.
    When not in use I just push them down onto my neck.
    Take back-up headphones too. It's really annoying when you are on a long ride and get into listening to something and the battery dies three hours from home.
    I use standard wired headphones on really long events as I don't want another device to have to charge, but some people used them on TCR.
