Headphone Prohibition

Clearly, doing big ride demands situational awareness, I can't find any bone conducting headphones that feel comfortable lying back on the S40. Does anyone have something they do? The ride rules are very specific, no closed ear headphones.

I think this is supposed to be open ear and bone conducting. I have the version that has a loop in the back, and it won't work with Cruzbike. That one's quality is good. This looks like it will work with Cruzbike. Let us know how it works out if you get it.

I have this since my Shokz earphone doesn't work with Cruzbike's neckrest. Mine is the older version. It's pretty loud and clear. This is the current version.

the rules include headsets covering the ears, not just blocking. Thanks for the hookup though.

I’ve been using Shokz ones for the past 2 years and I’m happy with them but best try them before buying, I can’t guarantee they won’t interfere with the headrest depending on how it is set.

I have been using the noxgear 39g external speaker. It has a really cool little magnetic clip which you can place it right on your chest, or clip it to the top of you Jersey. It has very accessible up-down volume and answer buttons and a battery life of about 15 hours, and is also waterproof and quite small. I love it.

This looks like it might be a good solution for Zwifting with the CB team. I wonder if it would work with discord? I hate having reach for my keyboard to hit a keybind button on my keyboard to speak. It's ackward.

This a BT, so whatever you are using for Discord should be able to connect and use this as both the mic and the speaker. I used it all the time for phone calls while Zwifting or riding outside. The noise suppression is great. I can have my big fan running (or riding outside at 25mph) and people say they can hear me great (and no wind sound)

If this is what you were speaking to me on the other day when I called, the sound quality is great on phone calls.

Thanks, Larry! Just made the purchase.
