Aftershokz Trekz Titanium headphones £109.99

These bone conduction Bluetooth headphones offer a unique listening experience. Instead of inserting mini speakers into your earholes, you sit the pads on your cheekbones and vibrations are pumped directly into your eardrums. While the theory may sound weird, the result is surprisingly clear and crisp. The obvious benefit is that you can still hear things going on around you, which is a massive safety boost when cycling. A large button on the left pad makes it easy to answer calls, but the volume buttons could be more pronounced for use with gloves. The six(ish)-hour battery life is reasonable for Bluetooth ’phones, and with two sizes to choose from you should be able to find a perfect fit. The price is steep and they’re not particularly light, but well worth it if you regularly ride with headphones. www.aftershokz.co.uk
