Earphones for cycling without noise - HiFi Headphones Forum - online headphone & earphone community forums

Hi,

I'm looking for some earphones to use while cycling that don't suffer from terrible air noise. The earbuds that came with my Sony MP3 player make a terrible racket. I bought myself some BOSE in-ear-canal phones that sound very good, but they have the same jet-engine sound as the Sony's at any speed above pedestrian.

What do people use when out on the bike to listen ot their MP3's without the sound of a mountain gale deafening out all audio?#

Thanks

Greetings Shifty Geezer! Welcome to the forum.

It's a really good question. I don't have much experience cycling with earphones, but do know what you mean about some earphones being affected by wind rushing past your ears. I live near the sea and on very windy days some earphones make a whistling noise - very annoying.

Does anyone else have any ideas on suitable earphones?
