Best Sport Headphones and Sound Systems

Being able to put on a pair of headphones and sinking away from the world can be a great feeling. However, sometimes you want to listen to music or take calls when you still need to be able to hear what’s going on around you. ERIK’S has many great offerings for the best sport headphones and other sound systems that provide enjoyment, comfort, and safety all rolled into one! Learn more about these audio options below. 

Sena

Sena offers a myriad of helmet options! They all feature Bluetooth for connecting your phone and listening on the go, without completely blocking you off. They also feature FM radio, if that’s more your style. Perhaps their biggest feature is the intercom system letting you connect to other Sena products so the whole group can stay in touch!* With their patented Advanced Noise Control microphone technology you’ll be sure it’s only your voice they’re hearing, not the wind. Check out the PI below. 

The Universal PI System takes Sena’s amazing technology and makes it available for almost any cycling or skate helmet! It allows you to talk to one other person up to a quarter-mile away and has a talk time of up to 6 hours. 

Sena also offers “EVO” versions of some of their helmets which have voice control and allow you to connect virtually unlimited other people up .55 miles away!

*EVO and non-EVO products will not connect to each other 

AfterShokz Headphones 

Something all AfterShokz headphones share is their bone conduction tech and open-ear design and are some of the best sport headphones on the market. The headphones sit on your cheekbones, just in front of your ear. This causes the bones in your head to transfer the sound to your inner ear while leaving your actual ear canal unobstructed. This is great for running, cycling, outdoor swimming, or any situation where you want to be able to hear your media and also what’s happening around you. 

Aeropex

The Aeropex offers Bluetooth 5.0, 8 hours of charge, and an IP67 rating which means they’re waterproof! The perfect all-around wireless headphone for those high-awareness situations. Aeropex also comes in a “mini” size that has a .5-inch shorter band. 

Xtrainerz

The Xtrainerz uses the same great sound tech as the Aeropex but forgoes Bluetooth in favor of 4GB of internal storage, good for about 1,200 songs. This means you don’t need to take your device with you to listen! They have a slightly higher waterproof rating, IP68, and the same 8-hour battery life. AfterShokz fully endorses the Xtrainerz for swimming.
