Bluetooth sports headphones

AaronB

Hi all,

I'm looking into getting a sports Bluetooth headset for my iPhone 4 for when im cycling, too listen to music but mainly to take calls. I run a business so something i need to take calls. I have my Iphone in a waterproof bike mount so i cant be opening it to take calls. The bike mount is used for running Sports-Tracker.

I need something that's waterproof and also still able to wear my glasses.

Any advise on what to get?

I use the headphones that came with the iPhone....the white ones.

They have a small lever down from the earpiece that can (1) change volume up / Down (ii) change to next track with a double click and (ii) answer call wit one click. There is a built-in microphone on this lever/pad which will pick up your conversation.

I find it perfect out !!

Hi, i wrecked mine because of rain. I was more interested to hear back what people are using. I have googled them, havent a clue what to get.

Was hoping to get some good feedback on some products here, What other cyclists are using.

Great job with the turbo traininer and my SGSII. I can control my media and take calls.

I have not used them on the road as i prefer to hear the big lorry up my A*s trying to pass my out!

Thanks, i'll look that one up! I would not always be on the main roads and very little traffic so i would be able to get away with it some days.
If i was on the main roads, i do not think i be brave enough to have music playing.

Aftershockz - they conduct sound through your cheekbones, so you can hear everything around you perfectly; better for the hearing, too.

I have these. They would be great if they stayed im my ears but the design is awful and they come out as you move.

they look nice! Why they keep falling out? they too small for your ears or they just aren't a good fit?

I have a Sony Ericsson MW-600 bluetooth headset. It's also got an FM radio. Other than occassional connectivity problems (reasonably typical of anything BT, in my opinion), they work very well. On the bike, I use them with one bud in my left ear. They are not waterproof however. A small ziplock bag might do the trick if this is required.

I've a set of LG hbs-700 Bluetooth headphones. Cost about 50usd. They are like a torc around your neck with full call and player & volume buttons. Think the box said waterproof but I've had them out in heavy rain with no issues. oh and they vibrate when you get a call too (bit strange the 1st time it happens) if you only fancied putting in the earphones once a call comes in.

Bad design the loop isn't supported by anything and it drags them out of your ears
