Headphones are complicated things when you’re on a bike. If they’re too quiet, the world around the bike can drown them out. If they’re overly loud or block out ambient sounds, you risk not being able to hear vehicles around you. The best kind of headphones for cyclists deliver good quality audio while also letting you keep tabs on oncoming traffic. These Aftershokz Aeropex Mini bone-conduction headphones vibrate sound into your eardrums through points on your skull and make a huge difference in how you enjoy music, podcasts or audiobooks when you ride. And if you’re going to give the gift of sound to a cyclist, these are the best.
