I just got my new (used) bike, and I’m also a big music nerd and love to listen to music when I’m traveling. Do you personally listen to music while you’re cycling, and in your opinion is it safe?

      I like it very much. I like listening to podcast but bone conduction + riding on a bike is not a good mix to really focus on a good podcast. It is good for listening to music with a certain “beat”, like when you exercice or are on a long road. Not really good for more nuance quiet music.

      In addition to the other commenter I agree on the podcast thing but it heavily depends on where you are cycling and how hard it is. If you are in heavy traffic, it’s a bust. But if you are in a fairly quite road it’s fine.

      It’s also worth noting that the audio quality is not brilliant but it’s good enough of you are an average music listener.

      I basically never take mine off, I wear them at work and even wear them in bed so I don’t disturb my wife.
