Headphones

Which model do you recommend ?
My priority is 1. comfort, 2. sound quality, 3. cost.
I don't like in-ear type. What I use now becomes uncomfortable when I
sweat.
I'll use mostly on trainer. TIA.

I have these, and find that they've been the most comfortable phones
I've used. They also don't fall out of your ears either (hooks around
the back of the ear), so looking around isn't a problem. They only
downside (depends on the person I suppose) is that it looks like you're
wearing earings.

None.

My solution wins on all counts. Hear what is going on around you, not
Foghat. Nothing sticking in the ear maximizes comfort.

I use those (or very similar), too. Good sound, yet doesn't drown out
traffic (unless turned way up -- not smart).

As to comfort, however, they occasionally hurt my ears -- probably because I
always wear a head band and sort of "tuck" 'em inside, along with sunglass
frames. Not usually a problem except on longer rides...

What are you, the ear bud police? (Per the OP: "I'll use mostly on
trainer.")

Even the not-mentioned Nazi category.

Only when the miscreant has otherwise proven to be a moron and/or a jerk.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Ah, come on, David. The OP did mention he would use them mostly on his
trainer. Even if he used them on the road, judicious use of a mirror and a
shoulder check more than makes up for using headphones. I wear headphones
when I ride, even moreso at night. It's not a problem to know when traffic
is coming up behind me b/c I can see the headlights in my mirror.

It's nice to know that a top poster is now classified as a
miscreant...so says the top poster police

So it goes..
