    I remember a few months back there was a talk about speakers...

    Anyone here use any headphones that are good and not too expensive? i am using some creative ones, i find they dont stay in my ears..and if i put the head cap over my ears whilst i ride with the headphones my hears start hurting.

    not sure if the ones that go into the air and around the ears would be comfortable to wear?

    Hi I use Panasonic sport ones with added bass when cycling they come with different size cap covers to suit your inner ear,
    Good quality and not bad for £40 use them when I go for a pedal,so far so good.

    i dont really have a need for mic \ phone..at the moment i use a ipod which goes into my pocket.

    i have a nexus 5, but dont really have music on this...just a thought...

    shall i mount the phone on the bike, and stream my music from there? cant really use the controls with gloves on anyway!

    That's why I stopped wearing my iPod when I go out for my walk. Nearly got clobbered a few times by cyclists I couldn't hear coming...;)

    I use sennheisers which are good and stay in, about 50 quid a pair and come with different size inners for your ears. However riding with headphones in is a dangerous game..

    I think they used to make the X10, without the volume control or mic...you still may be able to get them Sam. I'll have a look to see...
