Has anyone used either of these for cycling? I don't want completely block out the world around me but enjoy listening to podcasts. I've used aftershokz in the past and they're ok, but find hind wind means I can't hear and I feel quite a bit of pressure around my ears after longer rides.

    Going to fall out at some point. You need something that hooks over your ear, or just wired headphones.

    Did you loose the linkbud or the linkbud s?

    No, but they are held in by friction only, right?

    I've tried ear buds on the rowing machine. I accept thats a particularly sweaty endeavour, but i still wouldn't risk them for rowing, put it that way.

    The Linksys hooks inside the upper ear I think. Not sure about the S.

    That little extra loop might help a bit I suppose.

    If you are just listening to spoken word, why do you need expensive ones? Is it just for noise cancelling?

    If so, is the noise you are trying to cancel really something that noise cancelling headphones will be all that effective for?
