Riding your bike with music is one of those things that just makes life a bit better. Actually making it happen in a way that is safe and fits the wide range of needs is a bit more complicated. For that reason, I’ve put together a list of the best headphones for cycling but you’ll notice I don’t talk about sound quality much in that list. The reality is that there are a few too many details to really dive in without much space. Also, there tends to be a lot of similarities with good quality headphones.

The earbuds have an advertised battery life of up to 7 hours with ANC off and the charging case will top them off as many as three times making for a total of 28 hours of advertised life. As with most modern true wireless headphones, 10 minutes of charging will provide up to an hour of listening.
