Default Riding Headphones


I'm looking for riding headphones that just have one ear bud. Does
anyone know of such a thing? Don't suggest I just pull out one ear bud
from a regular set, because most of the songs I have are stereo, so
half of the music won't be playing.

Or is there a way to convert files to be mono? That'd be a last resort
though.

Good question, I'm interested in that too. And yeah, I want to ride
with only one in one hear because it's safer you understand more what's
going on around you.

I used to have a pair of headphones that a "Stereo/Mono" switch that was
pretty cheap. I'm sure you could find something like that if you look
around.

this is why I ride with my ipod connected to small extrenal speakers! I
can hear the music just fine, but also everything around me too!

Hey I use my cell phone that has a radio built in when I go riding. I
just use the regular ear bud with mic to listen to music. Plus I have
it set up so when I get a call it will automatically answer my phone
and turn off the music. Then when the other person hangs up the music
starts again.

you cqn just mix your music into mono, I use Koss the Plug hedphones
which are great for riding. I love having two earphones cause then i
can pretend i can't hear those "look hes only got one wheel"

My mate has a small back-pack with a water resevoir that has inbuilt
speakers and it works really well, might be more expensive than what
you want but it is really good

Hi i think this is a good way to get around the problem of not hearing
traffic noise and background noise, as long as you dont mind everyone
else listening to your music! (which depending on your genre could
result in comments worse than "wheres your other wheel gone" )
