Why Don’t Elite Runners Wear Headphones During a Race?
Video taken from the channel: Blaine Moore
Being able to hear race instructions, traffic noise, and other environmental sounds is crucial for a safe running event. Wearing headphones may compromise your ability to hear these cues. These issues are major concerns for organizers of large races or marathons, who already have a.
From April 2016, a new rule on the wearing of headphones at road races was introduced into the 2016-2018 edition of the UKA Rules of Competition: “The wearing of headphones, or similar device.Now you can start wearing headphones. This only applies if you are not competing for any awards or prize money. A professional athlete trying to win the race is not allowed. However, if you are running for fun, beating a personal time or for sponsorship, it is allowed.
Some races still don’t like you to wear headphones at the event.A: There are generally two reasons that headphones are not permitted during races. Safety and leveling the playing field. Safety and leveling the playing field.
A.While running is often an individual sport, the experience of racing is a group effort for participants, race organizers, and the community. “The biggest thing for people who chose to wear.If you’re running Elite or Age Group, then headsets are not allowed (as per rule 3.8.2). However, that rule usually isn’t enforced for the Open races.
I wouldn’t recommend it, though, not even for Open races. Not only do you get very wet and muddy, but when on the trail, I find it best to maintain some level of situational awareness.From 1 April 2016 a new rule regarding the wearing of head phones in road races was introduced into the 2016-2018 edition of the UKA Rules of Competition. “The wearing of headphones, or similar devices, (other than those medically prescribed), is not permitted in races on any single carriageway road that is not wholly closed to traffic.Everyone knows that NASCAR racecars are loud, yet many race fans choose not to wear any hearing protection of any kind.
Do NASCAR races get loud enough that spectators should consider headphones or earplugs? The short answer is yes. Let’s break.Headphones, headsets, walkmans, iPods, mp3 players, and other types of personal audio devices are not to be carried or worn at any time during the race. You must wear a race number at all times during the run.
Your number must face the front and be clearly visible at all times.A nice, well-rounded pair of NASCAR headphones, which offer quality sound, extreme durability, and powerful noise reduction. Good sound quality. Works with all major racing scanners. Comfortable fit for a day at the races.
Adjustable headband to fit any head size. Fit snugly which increases their sound isolation.NASCAR racing season is in full swing and you’ve never been before, you may be wondering what you should wear!
These do and don’t tips will help you build the perfect outfit to make your day an enjoyable one! Let’s get started: DON’T: Wear your new, cute little white shorts. Unless you.Wearing headphones during the race can cause you to miss announcements from officials, cut in front of someone, or not move out of the way if a runner is trying to get around you.
Ultramarathoner.You can be disqualified in some of the races if you wear headphones, but some people use them anyway. Because of the ban, I do about half of my runs without headphones so I don’t become too dependent on them. I have found that I actually run better without them. I pay more attention to my pace and listen more to my body’s signals.
No participant shall, at any time during the event, use or wear a hard cast, headset, radio, personal audio device, or any other item deemed dangerous by the Head Referee. Any violation of this Section shall result in a variable time penalty.”You can’t have a family member or a friend or even a stranger hand you something during the event,” Murray says. “You can only get race-provided support.” And there should be plenty of that: Aid stations are typically well supplied with water and sports drinks like Gatorade.
Rule 4: Keep your own pace. Just in case rule three didn’t make it.

Simply an opinion doing it my way music during cycling = Individual preferences rule. Pods in only when I’m solo riding. 1000s of miles experience w/ the headsets/pods heading towards master level. Relaxing, calming, energizing, spiritual. Keeps me from hearing random slurs my way which reduces my stress level. There are certain stretches on my ride, that have heavy traffic and a fair amount of road furniture, where I pause my tunes. Of note: I started w/ my carefully created cassettes playing on my SONY WALKMAN (thin) cassette player years ago. Now my iPod shuffle(perfect size) is safer and convenient to wear. I had a 10 year gap between riding and when I started up again I swore against wearing pods but it all seems so natural; and doing so does make for a sweet ride. I liken it to me also when chewing gum while riding-which is a new stress reducing device for me. TMI!-I know. I await the haters for the “anti-gumites”-lol. Lastly, 4 me all my playlists include at least 1 song from THE JAM whether I am riding in the country or IN THE CITY.
When a two-seater 15 year old Minardi sounds more exciting then the whole combined field today, you know F1 has lost its thrill.
if i see someone with headphones on a bike, i just push them in a ditch.
we already have so many problem with pedestrians looking down or listening to music or on the phone completely unaware about their environment, not to mention they walk in the middle of the lane. no tech on the road!
Can someone help me please? How can I cycle and speak on the phone too so that they don’t hear all the wind amd hardly me and so that I can hear them clearly is there any tricks? I have bone conduction, bluetooth headphone (but I don’t like to use them when cycling and earphones.
Thank you, Graeme Obree. I now feel completely vindicated for the bar ends I put on my trekking bars, though I now fear I may not have been extreme *enough*.
Thanks for this informative video Sir!! So that was you were with d cop. GLad to see your safe Sir.
Please explain why the law requires us to ride in the same direction as the cars are driving it seems safer to me to ride against traffic!
I prefer to simply ride with a Bluetooth speaker mounted to my bars…. problem solved music and still can hear the cars around me… Better yet if I could afford them I would rather use those fancy bone conduction headphones.
Caption: never go riding when you are suffering from explosive diarrhoea
when Kimi says he listens to Finnish music, does he mean this kind of music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7kJRGPgvRQ or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yh9i0PAjck? Cause there’s quite a difference between them
Mid-volume ambient techno for me, not for the music but for the rhythm. I feel it helps with cadence & adds focus. I dont cycle to get fit or anything, i just really like going out on my bike.
The view on safety’s different in my country (indonesia). I think brits would find people on the road here savage and lawless �� there are certain laws and regulations put up for cyclists, but they are not in any way enforced. Basically if you think cyclists should have any kind of right or priorities on the road, you should write a will before riding here.
1:54: eazy e boyz n the hood, hah would have never imagined
So funny you pointed out the SE215, I am using these right now to listen to this video. What I really need is a a shorter cable so that I can connect them to my SENA. I was actually thinking that getting ear molds would be the best overall option for comfort and go full F1 driver so that I can listen with some ear protection (My bike breaks 110dB according to my Apple Watch) as well as being able to listen to my friends on the motorcycle. (By the way, that’s the stock pipe on a 2017 Triumph Daytona 675R). I really need something that isolates the outside road nose from my headset, using the ambient sound feature of the SENA when I need to should be fine. Being able to communicate is pretty important in long group rides when not everyone knows hand signals but everyone knows how to talk.
Didnt surprise me that Lance have airpods but #flex you know, they dont even shut the noise off hahaha
Wind noise! That’s why there are cat ears and windfree ear mufs to protect hearing. They reduce riding wind noise making you hearing more acute. I own a windfree and it reduces noise levels due to riding wind significantly. It messes with directional hearing though. So you have to take that into account.
I wear them every time I go out. With the wind, you can’t hear anything anyway, so you might as well fill your ear with motivating music. And what’s the difference from wearing earphones and being in a car with the radio on and the windows up? It pays to have your head on a swivel. Whether you hear them coming or not, sometimes they still run you over. When your time is up, it is up.
I think lasty needs to come to Adelaide, Australia and complete the Adelaide dirty dozen in September…

One of the best videos of the 2-seaters you’ll see! class video! thanks for sharing! i went to the Grand Prix in 2015 and have been collecting videos of these specific cars ever since! I have put together a couple of compilations showing the runs from 2011-2016 from a number of sources and quite a few of clips are mine from 2015 too:) feel free to have a look and share the V10 love!!!
just in:Kimi’s fave song is the Finland classic “i wanna love you tender” coolest dance music vid ever in Finnish history ��
I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE!!
Nice vid (:
Please make ‘the score higher’ into 24D:)
I watched your other video of the current F1’s through turns 11 and 12… super impressive speed through there! I do miss the sound of V10 era simply for how loud they once were. You could hear them miles away and pick up what the drivers were doing through the corners (you could even tell which car it was by the sound of the engine before it arrived). Funny thing about this clip is that it’s an old Minardi double-seater that has been completely dialled down. Still impressive but nowhere near what they once were. A V10 F1 car that was prepared purely for qualifying was absolutely stunning!
I must admit that I did ride with EAR phones and now dispise of anyone who does. Reason being I was going past a tall fence I couldn’t see through. It lead to a driveway where a car was pulling out and also lead to me nearly going over the bonnet. Luckily I swerved and survived but it’s safe to say if I hadn’t of done that I would have had at least a few broken bones. Please bear in mind I love music but I did have it on a respectable level and not too loud. I think it is the headset itself that causes the lack of hearing and the music just adds to the issue.
Love your videos fam:) Wish I were there! Motosports aren’t too popular here in Eastern Europe ;;
Nowadays companys are making helmets with ‘speaker cutaways’ inside the helmet allowing you to install your own headphones, so in 2020, the best motorcycle helmet sound system is the one you install yourself.
“music can’t make you 10 times stronger”

#askGCNanything Hi GCN can you please do some science. All the video’s I’ve seen about disk brakes compared to rim brakes the disks have been hydraulic. And the rim brakes have either been callipers that are single mound and single pivot. Or single mount and duel pivot. There is no doubt that hydraulic disk brakes are good but I’ve never seen a test with a cheeper cable disk brake. Can you please compare mechanical disk brakes to V brakes and direct duel mount brakes. As not everyone can afford top of the range equipment or wants to spend that much on a winter bike. I’ve been looking at winter bikes and worked out its roughly about £100 more to get the disk version of the same spec bike with mechanical disks. I have these mechanical disks on my cross bike and don’t like them. But with all the banging on about how great disks are do I go for mechanical disks on my new winter / train bike if they don’t work as well as the bikes I’m riding now? Thanks Bev:)
İf they want to win they need some eurobeat and a paper cup full of water:)
Married with a wife and kids and I don’t have any desire to be contacted while out on my motorcycle. ����
Music, that’s different…
I have the se215. They are super clear, sound quality is insane!! Most comfy headphones I’ve ever used. I sleep with them on. I almost live in these and I’m glad that they are good for riding as I just started riding myself so that’s exciting!!
i usually listen to eminem’s “till I collapse” before a karting race:)
Another +1 for Etymotic wired headphones. I have had 3 pairs over the past 10+ years (due to desire for upgrades / losing them). I had the ER6 and HF2, and now have the MK5 isolator model. The MK5 are a little more budget oriented (more plasticy, no inline volume, no microphone, ) but are also cheaper at around $50 USD on Amazon. The best feature is that they offer 35-40 dB of external noise reduction, which takes typical freeway riding from a damaging 100-110 dB down to a safe 65 dB, without completely blocking out all external engine/siren/horn sounds. (In comparison, your typical 3M disposable foam earplugs offer only 29 dB of noise reduction)
Like the Shure earphones, they do attract ear wax and need regular cleaning. Wax and water can seep into the drivers and kill the headphones, but the great thing about them is that you can get filter inserts that protect the drivers and can be replaced when they get clogged. “ER38-46 Green Filters”. The filter also smooths out the frequency response and in my option results in a a smoother easier listening experience.
1:59 Oh no not that stupid baguette again. He is probably listening to Dinsey songs
I use one those shure headphones on my cardo. So good. Great noise cancellation. Can keep volume nice and low and no one even knows I’m on my bike if someone calls.
Recently, I saw a GCN show where you talked about a website that will generate a training program for you via A.I. Now, I can’t find that GCN show or the website/company anywhere. Can you help?
May 2020. I cant keep any plugs in my ear: ( I might try this Shure, since it’s wire goes upward around the ear.
1. Does one ride one’s bike differently, such that they increase their chance of being unpredictable to other traffic around them, if they have headphones in vs. no headphones?
2. If there is no change, what scenarios would hearing be a benefit vs. only one’s vision, to situational awareness?
3. If there is no change, what scenarios would hearing be a detriment vs. only one’s vision, to situational awareness?
4. Given the answers to 2 and 3, which shows the greatest real world scenario danger to a cyclist?
IME, 1. No
2. Zero Vision and Hearing are concordant to each other, neither helpful nor unhelpful but rather affirming continuously what the other is telling you for all things in one’s field of vision which represents the majority of unintentional threats to a cyclists well being (animals darting out, cars pulling out/turning in front of you…etc.). The other scenario this could be helpful in is being able to hear approaching cars but if one always looks, which I always do, hearing isn’t helpful, just concordant with my eyes as I’ve already mentioned.
3. Not being able to hear is an advantage. The largest threat from behind is impatient road rage drivers. No amount of hearing will prevent someone from running into you from behind simply put, you’ll never know it’s coming until you’re already hit. The chances of an unintentional/uncontrollable collision from behind are very low, even for cars. That leaves the idiots who purposefully yell out windows/honk/overall obnoxious behavior which happens, by far, the most for any cyclist I’d wager. Filtering that out can mean the difference between being spooked and reacting, causing you to lose control of move enough to hit something/poor traction section, or continuing to ride smoothly without ever noticing the idiots.
4. Answer three represents the greatest danger but not a significant one. So in conclusion, riding with or without headphones is no more “stupid” than the other. Just ride how you like.
1:08 I’m glad Stroll has a music to get him in the zone of suck…
Kimi listen finnish music
Nightwish,Children of Bodom,The Rasmus,Apocalyptica? I hope so
your helmet looks too loose, thats probably why the shure stay in when you put your lid on they fall out straight away for me, more money down the drain!
Galaxy Buds+ are the absolute best!! Nothing hanging out of your ears, helmet pulls right over them..
first, thank you for adding the subtitles, for us who are not natives I just cant stress how important it is seriously
pedestrians with headphone walking on the bike line are the problem, I ring and nothing I shout and nothing.. most of the time are old people, 50plus, listening to the radio I guess
I ride with headphones in the city, pretty much always. These old headphones which dont go inside the ear but at at the same time fit under the helmet perfectly. I put a low volume so I can hear pretty much everything and only hear the music when I go through a park or somewhere quiet.
Perhaps it’s because I don’t consider myself a “cyclist”, merely just a dude riding a bike to stay in shape. But I will absolutely NOT ride without headphones. Regardless if it’s illegal or not. I’ve done a couple of rides without them and hated every minute of it.
Contrary to Si’s sentiment, NOT having music seemed to make a 15mi ride feel like an eternity and bored the hell out of me. So much so, that I cut the ride short and went home. Music choice does make a huge difference, err at least for me. Ambient techno err whatever, would put me to sleep. Everything on my riding playlist is north of 200bpm and it helps keep me motivated and focused… of course I look like an idiot air drumming blast beats on my handlebars at stop lights, but then again I’m already wearing lycra… so…
At the end of the day I think it should be left to personal preference. I’ve never had an issue riding with them and will continue to do so.
If you don’t ride with them, great, don’t. But don’t get on your high horse and start trying to make it a law either. I live in a low crime area and the cops here are bored enough already… they don’t need a reason to start hassling people on bikes too.
Don’t know why but Racing cars seem to sound even more epic at night.
Do the shure’s have microphones to I can make phone calls while riding?
Toro Rosso’s team principal listens to Spider-Man theme song
“Driver swap, driver swap.”
Its all about WHOS riding with headphones. Im 10× more aware of my surroundings with my earphones in. Before any maneuver i shoulder check and make sure im clear to do so, and i pretty much see everything before it even happens (as i normally do without headphones). Im just 10× more in my zone.
Another way to have music while you’re riding a bike sing or whistle! Even better, sing as a choir while group riding!
they should listen to The Rat by The Walkmen and they will race with fast rhythm
I think it also highly depends on the type of headphones. Apple headphones let in a large amount of sound where my Audio-Technica studio headphones do not.
i use the bose noise canceling ear buds and it makes long trips dead silent…
Shure doesn’t work for me. Maybe because of the shape of my head, it can’t stay when I put my helmet on. Beats X is my final solution.
I wonder if the the hi-viz decreases safety finding is related to the Volvo effect? (where Volvo drivers had more accidents as driving a safer car changed their behaviour).
I’m on my second Sena 10c pro because my first one was garbage with really bad connectivity and battery life, my replacement 10c pro I got a couple months ago, is also hot garbage.. the external mic is already blown out and battery life last about 2 hours with the camera running if I’m lucky.
I have to say that the sound of that AMG GT-R is just beautiful, I mean, sounds so deep and eargasmisc. I personally loved it.
This is just a sick joke, hearing this thing screaming around the track. Then hearing the shit cars we have now. ��
I’ve just started cycling this past year, and I have significant hearing loss. If I hear a car engine I am not able to place if it’s oncoming or behind me; but even then I don’t even hear the car until it’s a couple metres away 2 or 3, and by that point I can’t really do anything about it if it’s behind me. So while I don’t ride with plugs in, I can’t imagine playing music would make it anymore dangerous for those of us with significant hearing lose vs no music.
The socks bodge works I’m excessively long-limbed and nothing affordable has long-enough arms. So a pair of old socks make fine sleeve-to-glove covers.
Definitely no to headphones. It only takes 1 car/bike/obstacle once to possibly ruin your cycling forever. I’m not taking that chance… Great show boys!
“What’s wrong with beards” deserves a like, and RATM is the only music to ride to.
I thought that when operating a motor vehicle that it is unlawful to wear headphones? I know it is beautiful Florida.
I can’t focus on anything, homework, cycling, or working out in the gym without listening to music.
SE-215’s by Shure are great coupled with my packtalk. They won’t get caught on the helmet, really low profile
Caption: Matt Stevens after attempting to clip into his pedals
Beside traffic noise, I have to deal with wind noise which gets louder as I go faster or when the wind blow stronger. Compare that noise level to that when you’re running and you will understand why the study suggest using ear protection. And cheap ear plugs don’t work cause they catch the wind
AfterShockz Titaniums are perfect for riding. They use bone conduction so I can still hear everything around me and have an easy pause button to stop the music if I’m going through a busier street section. That said, I ride an ebike so I do cover my ears to reduce the sound from the wind. I’d rather just check an extra time visually than lose my hearing.
INCREDIBLE JOB, MAN!���� THIS MADE MY DAY!!!❤��

I have a headset (similar to SENA) but i just throw on some earbuds to block the wind noise and it doesnt bother me one bit, can still hear music and answer calls I just block out the wind
Love the video! Here is an update for those who want the flexibility of the Cardo/sena communicator but with noise isolating headphones.
https://youtu.be/HFS52QcZQak
Long ride & earbuds in one ear. But I listen to audio books. Makes the time go faster and you can easily tune into an important sound from your environment says “hey, pay attention”
Let’s start at the start. Headphones go over your head. Earphones go in your ears. You are speaking about earphones, not headphones.
I’m finally trying to go wireless with noise canceling. I’ve noticed ear fatigue after long rides since you have to crank the volume up to battle the wind noise quite unhealthy. This is anecdotal, but I was once pulled over for going a little over the speed limit, and since I was tucked in I couldn’t see the lights flashing behind me, and couldn’t hear the sirens (no ear buds in, just wind noise). Cop asked if I was trying to run, but once I explained to him I honestly just couldn’t hear the sirens and didn’t see the lights until I sat up, he said he always recommends wearing ear protection while riding motorcycles (he’s been riding for over 20 years, and let me go with a warning as “[he] remembers what it was like to get his first motorcycle”, very nice guy). I would say for me in my state, this is solid evidence that it’s completely legal to ride with ear pro or ear buds while riding on a motorcycle since it’s also a safety thing for your ears.

Lub you guys. Humorous, intelligent, full of helpful hints, and damn entertaining. First, my fav, big yes for ear phones; I hate riding without them. I can hear everything, even tires. Volume, depends but never full blast, not so much for hearing surrounding noises but because it hurts. Max respect to GCN for their Buffalo bikes…are there Buffalos in the UK? GCN=big hearts. But you’re the only site I need to use CC so I can understand what your saying…is that English…LOL.

I’m pretty sure everyone here appreciates that. Got me thinking about the AirPods Pro and I see you have a video on that will check it out too, thanks for the honest review keep up the great content!
I always use helmet mounted communication system with hearing protecting earbuds.
No to headphones for me, like to hear everything around me, and enjoy being out on my bike.Fortunately I live in a rural area, and I avoid towns unless I absolutely have to go there.Why shut yourself off from the environment, unless your environment is horrible, then yes good idea!
Doesn’t stop you ALL mispronouncing Nibali’s name ALL the time!
No mention of the differences between open backed, close backed and noise cancelling headphones?
Not much point in attaching an annoying speaker or using tinny bone conducting headphones if you use open backed headphones that barely block out external noise.

AirPods work great as long as you use a “silicone ear hook”. Works for both the standard and the ANR version. I use them for riding and workout. Never lost one or had one come out during helmet on/off.

AHA…! Got it..! Those for and against headphones must be those who don’t and do feel vulnerable on a bike. If you don’t feel vulnerable you’re probably 17 to 30. If you do, you’re probably older, have kids etc. Note: there is a blip in mortality rates between 17 and 30. The risk-taking era, the aggressive phase, natural selection weeding-out the rash idiocy which some demonstrate. Testosterone a major player in th poor old male brain leading lads to showing-off and feeling immortal as their numbers are thinned by accident and predictable failures.
Say no to phone calls. Be aware that in many states it’s now illegal to wear sound PRODUCING/Active in-ear buds/monitors. You can wear ONE side but not both. (Doesn’t apply to passive protectors -foam etc.) Check local/state/regional laws. Beware, tickets are getting $teep, and you can be automatically classed as BOTH distracted and reckless (criminal/impound/jailed) until you go to court. In Washington State “distracted” is now treated as a “DUI-lite”. There is a legitimate reason for nanny state encroachment, just be smart. Headphones and earbuds are also increasingly used as “probable cause” for search and seizure, since you’re supposed to know better.
Can you take and receive phone calls with the shure earbuds and have clear communication?

To be fair, I think headphones are fine for biking along long lonely country roads. However, it’s a no go on crowded streets and heavy traffic areas. What I usually do is to play music over my phone speakers. This way I get some background music and still keep my attention on the road.
Definitely yes to headphones
I use headphones all the time while cycling
I use decent volume
so i can hear a car coming by or car honking for example
the S plug canal buds disappear in the ear. I tried these on at the Chicago international motorcycle show. I plug directly to my Sena, they are a bit pricey, but after using numerous types of buds these are by far my favorite! They work as an excellent ear plug and an excellent all day ear bud.
Music ruins the nature of running and you can get yourself hurt….my opinion.
As motorcyclists know ear plugs (mute headphones?) make you ride faster while protecting your hearing (from wind/road noise) your perception of speed is less for any given speed so subconsciously you tend to ride faster worked for me anyway when I was a ginger m’bike beginner. Haven’t tried ear plugs on the (push)bike yet where the limiting factor is usually my legs but perhaps it’d improve my descending…
Yeah Queen �� please more video with Queen music! (Btw sorry for my Eng im 10 years old i from Poland♥️)

Back when I rode a 50cc Piaggio, I could listen to music on pair of JBL earbuds with the same shape as Airpods, at less than 50% volume.
I listen to podcasts and audiobooks. A great way to utilize your time and gather knowledge.
I would like to clarify that Finnish music does not sound like that
Still funny tho
You say black, I say white, you say bark, I say biteee, you say sharck, I say hey maaaaaan, JAWS WAS NEVER MY SCENEEE AND I DON’T LIKE STAR WAAAARSS
I wore them non-stop on daily commutes for 3 years and then damaged headphones and went without for a few days and haven’t worn them since….not sure if any safer but does feel it…I went with the deaf argument aswell but hearing traffic behind you matters now I think
I started using the airpods pro, with noise canceling enabled, you cant hear the outside noise, and i keep the music volume low since you can hear the music clearly. Have to het used to how they feel with full face helmet
Riding on the highway my Sena’s had to be pushed so hard that one of the speakers blew not recommended
Glorious sound, too much for the mics as it swings by. The V10s could be heard halfway across Melbourne.
Wow! What a incredibly this Bicycle Race sound! Freddie and Queen my absolute musical pleasure. ❤️
Thank you for masterpiece! ��
What about wearing earplugs and using a communication device like sena
Based on this review I purchased Shure 215s after trying to use many different setups (chatterbox, headphones, earbuds, airpods, BT systems, etc). The Shure setup actually works exceedingly well for me all I wanted was noise reduction and music (I do not take calls or need any other bells and whistles). I was hoping to go wireless (and this system allows for that with mixed reviews) but I find that, with this setup, I don’t mind the wires that much. All the benefits of earplugs, plus the music is clear and not intrusive. Thank you for this video!!!
Seven minutes in and I’m just delighted with how intelligent the debate becomes on GCN sometimes. It seems to me that cyclists (particularly road cyclists, it must be said), with their general tech-savviness and broadly scientific approach to their hobby, are a smart bunch I’m proud to be part of. Thanks for keeping it highbrow lads!
Mind you, I never get tired of watching the range of interesting ways you all find to fall off bikes… you can’t be clever all the time right?:)

that high pitched ringing throughout the video is intolerable

I seen you a few time’s over the weekend recording and stuff, I got some got videos and pictures too. Great weekend and nice videos. I love the V10’s and V8’s But you have to be there to hear how good the news one’s are too
I needed an opinion about this because when I run with headphones, I can run more en feel better while doing it, so I’m thinking it could have the same effect when doing a long ride.
Could you please specify about the research that suggested that you are more likely to have an accident by wearing high viz? Should the police, ambulance, road workers stop wearing it? I know of a few people that were clipped because the driver didn’t see them. Is this research sponsored by Castelli?
I have the Sena 20s and ride a street glide with a really nice Arai helmet… I never have to crank my volume all the way up… i’m curious though… have you since tested the new air pod pros with noise canceling? Thanks for the video by the way.. I also have a separate set of earbuds very similar to the Shure’s that I used to wear when riding with a 1/2 helmet.
smokin buds 2. great sound great fit and cheap as hell. Intercoms are better for hearing background noise
I’d listen to some Miami Nights before a race gives me that 80s night race pump when I drag race
no to headphones for the same reasons not to chat on a phone whilst driving, even if it is hands free. i have been in a couple of moderate collisions and one major collision causing a fractured collarbone for that very reason.
in a society where multitasking is a great asset at work, it is of no value on the road. leave that stuff for astronauts and test drivers, and crash test dummies, but please please please… do not turn me into a red smear on the pavement because you like music or telephones
ride safe first
Thank you for going through all this so I don’t have to ����
Everything here but Bose, which is what I wanted to know about.
My slimbuds broke after exactly one year of very heavy, hard use. While they worked they were great though. They seem to be out of business now because their website says “quantities limited” and they don’t respond to emails

Get some Comply earbud tips if you have any earbuds with removable plastic/rubber tips. Comply makes tips that specifically block wax, a bit of sweat and most importantly noise. It won’t compensate for active noise reduction, but it’s worth it even if you are going to end up shelling out a wad of cash for some higher end noise cancelling earbuds, since you’re going to be blocking out more noise than before by default.
plus the earwax blocker is sweet
Nicky Hayden had earphones in his incident (his ipod was found on the spot), ok that that the dynamics principaly was that he did not stop at the give way, but still, i think one should try and lower the possibilities of accidents and try to keep focused of his surroundings.
I think using headphones when cycling alone in the forest is totally fine but not with the kids in the back or on a busy street.
Maybe kimi is listening to some finnish black metal like satanic warmaster or sargeist��
I run a pair of mee audio m6 pro 2nd gen. They are very similar to the shure in ear monitors in this video. They are awesome and comes with different options for inserts. One set of foam inserts and 2 or 3 sizes of rubber ones. I use the foam ones that act like ear plugs. Replacement ones are available on amazon for a good price too. Thanks for the video
I think I would go ape$h17 if I came across someone with a bike boombox on my campus. Much less so with the bike piano
I put my headphones in when I leave the house but only turn the music on when I’m out of town. And I’ve started keeping it at a low volume to protect my hearing. I already cycle as if there’s cars behind me, ie. carefully, so I don’t see any extra danger on rural roads.
Dude thank you so much for this! I bought the Shure…and F I N A L L Y have a solution after many frustrating trials with other models/makes…..thanks!
anyone know if you can communicate (lie speak on the phone) with Shure SE215 headphones whilst on the bike?
i use plugphones liberate. i have yet to try a call yet. but they sound awesome. and it is an earplug. so they stay in.
The only absolute reason to hear sound on a bike is any possible bike issue or mishap behind you. Everything else can be seen in your 210 degree peripheral view. I’ve been riding for a very long time (maybe 10-15yrs) with headphones\earbuds in Los Angeles without issue. I find it a real motivator (fast electronic music usually) and time flies by. I ride confidently cautious and respect cars. Coming from mountain biking I always look down the road and far into my surroundings.

xperia ear duo and easily you can listen music and everything all around you when cycling
I have a mirror on my bike, so using headphones is not an issue. My IPOD has sound attenuation which matches the damping effect of the hermetically sealed cabin in a car. I can always hear car horns and panning my mirror helps for safety.
I’ve ridden with headphones in for years, it’s the only way I feel comfortable riding now, it eliminates earache from the wind as well. If I’m riding with a friend I will keep them in my ears but turned off.
I enjoy riding with headphones, however where I live drivers aren’t especially respectful to cyclists, so I find it helpful to use 1 headphone at a medium volume.
Hey guys,
I’m 18 years old. Ive always been into cycling, but I would like to start cycling professionally, where do I start? Cheers! love the show, specially Matt
Like the fact that with gastly they played humble qnde with lewis played dna
What. i have learned is that you can wear airpods with a helmet if you wear a hoodie and put the hood over your head and put the helmet on
they will stay on. and they wont move.
The Cardo Packtalk bold and Shure SE215’s are a great combo!
If azura (From Fire Emblem) Joins F1, She would hear the song called “Lost in Thoughts All Alone.” I bet that Takumi will pissed about this and told her to stop listening to that Music lol. Otherwise he will ask her to get 10 grid penalty for this lol.
I THOUGHT KIMI WAS THE ONE SINGING THE FINLAND FINLAND FINLAND SONG ������������
I have washed my SE215’s about 7 times, and when the cable breaks or degrades, just buy a new one! It’s so nice to have that functionality. I’ve used mine for 4 years and it’s great.
Sounds menacing…what is it?
Ahh how F1 engines sound before fcking up F1 in 2006
Bose frames work well at lower speed. Can control from bars on KTM.
Looking for a helmet kit for my girlfriend, I went to your video. In France where I live, it’s strictly forbidden to wear internal headphones (like airpod or anything with a wire) in car on a bicycle or a motorcycle. Only external hearphones (the ones you stick on the foam) are allowed inside a helmet. So, very good for your video but I don’t watch to the end.
Found one of my new favorite channels! Glad to be a part of the family!
I️ am a yes to headphones kind of guy but I’m a firm believer in group rides, I️ one in and one out and at a lower volume. I️ feel you should still be able to hear your surrounds but I️ like to semi block wind and listen to some soothing sounds
Just buy a helmet with a Bluetooth speaker system in it already duh
1:14 Im at turn 6 and you can clearly hear the throttle control as the V10 exits turn 3. #bestengine #ripv10 #blessed #bestfans
