Wireless headphones

For sure, I love them. I think they are perfect.

Definitely get the app for them, the equalizer makes a huge difference.

 

I saw it mentioned earlier, but it didn't get a definitive answer.

Has anyone tried wireless earbuds when riding? Will they work inside your helmet, with the ipod in your pocket?

 

That's usually a sign your earphones suck. The real good ones don't need you to mess with the eq. to reproduce the sound properly.

 

No. They don't suck.

The sound is great as is. However, I like more bass, whereas the wife likes more treble. The equalizer isn't needed to make the sound "better", as in higher quality, the equalizer lets you tailor the sound to your preferences.

 

Ive always wondered about those helmet speakers. It seems to me like wind/bike noise would still get in, and it would be like being in a car and listening to the radio while going 80mph with the windows down.

On the bike ive always used the Shure (wired) earbuds with the noise-cancelling foam bud things. I run the wire down inside my shirt and put the ipod in my pocket. I have never tried to use the wireless buds on the bike. I think ill try when I get home.

 

You’re all about that bass?


No treble?

 

I have to agree, they sound great right out of the box but I prefer a bit more down low like Cap't Gorilla over here. My number 1 requirement for earbuds is that they stay in place........that's it. I can't remember how many sets of earbuds I've gone through over the last few years just trying to find a pair that stay put. The closest I got was Jaybird F2/F3 and Freedoms. Great sound quality, but the weight of the wires connecting the two earpieces together would eventually pull one out in the middle of a set or whatever. Yeah it's small gripe but a pain in the ass to have to repeatedly jam the earphone back in. No such problem with these jobbies, they're primo.

 

I’m so disappointed that nobody got my joke

 

I hear ya. Kinda.

 

Got it; didn't want it.

 

Sorry...not enough 15 year old girls around the beeb to validate your joke.

 

Cringes and groans were the desired response

 

And we forgot the worst symptom of them all : just very poor musical taste and the need to use an equalizer to make it worse.

 

Answer to this is "yes".

I did the first 300 miles of my trip using the Jabs, with my ipod in my pocket. It worked perfectly fine, no glitches or pauses.

But I ended up swapping to my corded Shure earbuds because they have the foam piece for the ears, which does a better job of isolating outside sound. The Jabs are great for the gym and stuff, but the plastic tips don't seal off good enough to block all the wind noise on the bike.

I wish I could swap them for foam tips, but they have a special/different end so normal foam tips wont work with them.

 

What makes them the best you've ever used?
