Riding a bicycle with earbuds isn’t a good idea as it can drown out all the noise around you, which can be a problem especially in traffic. But for those long rides when a little music can help motivate there are some solutions. The Bipo is a bicycle helmet mount that holds earbuds in place but more importantly delivers music to the wearer without blocking outside noise.
The developers have brought the Bipo concept to Kickstarter. The concept is a novel one, where the music from Apple earbuds – the company specifically was designed for Apple products but could probably work with other models – is set into the air vent. The idea is that the sound disperses and loses its directionality thus can be heard in the background, which should be perfect for riding where you want to hear the world as well as the music.

There are fitness buffs and there are fitness freaks, but no what level of fitness “enthusiast” you may be you’ll still want to have superior sound quality with your music. Denon Headphones has you covered and has done so while cutting the cord as well.
Mention the word “Klingon” and the image of a Star Trek villain is likely to come to mind – and yes, we’re geeky enough to know that in the later series the Klingon were supposedly friends. Regardless, a bunch of clever designers are thinking of a different kind of “Klinggon” (with two g’s) – a injection molded cord catcher that can be used by athletes who want to hear some tunes while working out. 
If there is one thing that smartphone users have learned (after not to drop it), it is that water and phones don’t go together. There are plenty of cases out there, and even cases that allow a device to be attached to an external speaker. But now Grace Digital Audio – maker of waterproof speakers such as the
We’ve been seeing a number of new methods to deliver music to those riding a bicycle, and this week we came across the Otus Mini-Speakers, which mount to the wearer’s helmet. These resemble traditional earbuds, but the 15-watt speakers are not actually designed to go into the years. Instead these are applied to hang just above the ears. 
Music fuels workouts. But sometimes the cord from headphones gets in the way. On a run your arms swing and often come in contact with the cord and rip it out of your ear. The reason for this is too much slack in the cord, though shorter cords aren’t necessarily the answer, then you risk not having enough cord to accommodate your needs. 
Heading into a season of water sports and fun doesn’t have to mean the action happens without music. The G-GO from G-Project is a portable, water resistant Bluetooth speaker that’s easy to take waterside and connects to any Bluetooth device to play music.
