Earphone for cycling

[J_ram]

Good Day, just want to find out from riders from hub, a mate of mine is on a market of buying a earphone for cycling, and would like to check from experienced cyclist in here if which one is good for cycling, i know some might say that one must not use earphone while cycling as this can be a distraction while riding but im sure some of you got an idea of having an earphone but still aware of the sorrounding.

Thanks

I use headphones when running but wont use them cycling.

That being said you do get open back designs that are specifically for being able to hear ambient sounds while exercising, as long as the volume isnt too high they should work fine.

 

I dont have any brand details though.

Don't do it

 

Here in the Western Cape the bylaw says you may not.
