1. Your age
2. Your gender
3. Do you use earphones while cycling? If not, then reasons would be helpful: safety etc.
4. What type of earphones do you use? in-ear, over ear or on ear etc
5. What is the make and model of the earphones?
6. Do you have any feedback for the particular type or make and model of earphone, any suggestions for improvement, complaints or positives?

Thank you very much in advance for anyone who takes the time to give some feedback.
