Thought I would share my experiences with these headphones which I paid not very much for last week.

I have been using headphones for riding to work but I get worried about my phone getting wet when it rains or falling out of my pocket or whatever, so thought I'd invest in some bluetooth ones so I can stick my phone in my bag out of harm's way. I saw the price on these and thought they were a bargain. Unfortunately they are out of stock now, hopefully they will be back in soon.

I can use the controls through my winter gloves. It's like one button which also acts as a joystick on the front which is for music, and an answering calls button on the side. Obviously don't expect them to withstand rain, but I am going to put a piece of velcro on the back to stick the control unit thing inside my helmet.

I think for 30 quid this option works out as a decent cheap alternative to buying a bluetooth helmet. You can also plug in whatever headphones you want as it has a 3.5mm jack on the control thing. You also get a dock to charge it on which should be handy, although I haven't even had to charge them up yet.

0.3 meter cable doesnt seem very long though?


It's long enough to clip onto your jacket, but if you wanted to clip it to your belt or put it in your trouser pocket you would need to use some different headphones plugged into the unit.

You can buy extension cables for headphones cheap enough should you need them.

Looks interesting Thumbs Up.

I do get annoyed with my current headphones occasionally getting the lead looped around my leg/arm or similar, or forgetting when I get off the bike.
