    Eeeehhhhh that depends.

    I work delivering food on a bicycle. I need to be able to hear things. Would be nice if I could listing to my playlists and not drown out the car coming my way.

      May I suggest checking these out? https://shokz.com/products/openrunpro

      Not affiliated, just like mine for when I need to keep my ears completely open. Audio quality is surprisingly good, but also never going to compete with something whose sole purpose is to sound good i.e. non-sporty headphones.

      Bike riding is perfect for these bone conducting headphones, you can listen to tunes while hearing absolutely everything.

        180 US for 10 hours of battery life and, allegedly, a full titanium body. That’s honestly reasonable.

        Now the real question is; do they ship to Denmark? I’ll have to check that out after work.

          Seems like only the US is available. I am also curious about a product like this that’d deliver to Sweden.

            Well, it turns out Telenor is selling that exact model here. Maybe check your phone provider?

        I have a pair, and they’re really convenient. Occasionally they do make me feel sick if I wear them too long though

      The bose quietcomfort ones do that and more. You can choose if you want to block out external sounds with ANC or enable pass-through so you can hear the world around you. Not sure why they needed to make this product.

        Passthrough doesn’t work well on a bike when there’s wind rushing past the microphones that record the passthrough sound. This product fixes that.
