Soyo Bluetooth Headphones

Sanity saver on the rollers

Once again, Andy is taking something as simple as riding your bicycle indoors on precision made drums of aircraft grade aluminum and making it complicated. What’s next? Is he going to find a way to screw up taxidermy? -Schmalz

I’ve been watching a lot of movies while riding the rollers, but I’ve never been comfortable with wearing headphones and running an extension cord to my TV or laptop – I just don’t like that cord dangling over the front wheel. So I have to crank the TV to 80 or 90, or plug the laptop into the stereo, and even then I need captions to catch all the dialogue over the din of the rollers. Either way it’s incredibly disruptive to everyone else in the apartment.

These headphones have been a real lifesaver this cold winter. They consist of two parts, a Bluetooth transmitter with a mini phono plug, and the actual headphones themselves. Plug the transmitter in and you’re good to go, up to a 30 foot radius. The cool thing is that the headphones can be paired to multiple devices, so if your cell rings while you’re riding you just have to tap the headphones to answer the call (there’s a built in mic for talking). Tap it again and you’re back to receiving audio from the transmitter. The one big drawback in my book is that it won’t receive music from an iPhone, just phone calls. So if you want to use it to play music, you’ll have to plug the transmitter into the iPhone.

They’re listed at about $180 retail, but a couple of minutes on Google will score it for $40.

kind of necessary for my inside riding. the shitty thing about apple tv or the roku netflix box is that neither of them come with closed captioning options.

Good call. Might check these out. Currently I hold the ‘dangling wire’ in my right hand against the handlebar. If I drift too far to that side on the rollers, I feel a gentle tug. It’s a nice reminder that the camera angle in cycling.tv is about to cause some embarrassing floor burn if I don’t correct it. Downside? Only helps in one direction.

I second the “sweat” issue. Also, what kind of Battery Life?

I’m in my 2nd season of indoor riding with these and have had no problems, and I sweat profusely-I use four fans. A charge lasts about 6 hours. One of my best purchases ever.

is a remote control on your outlet for the fans. Typically when starting a training session its cool so you don’t want to turn the fans on but then you heat up have to stop and turn the fans on.

is a bucket by the rollers so you can practice balancing and pee-ing off the bike without stopping for a bathroom break

I avoid the headphone issue since I usually watch porn when on the rollers. I’m not so concerned about sound since I’m usually grunting louder than they are…I do use a bucket by the rollers

i find that an iphone wedges nicely between and SRM and the bars. there’s no need for wireless at that distance.

i have the samsung version of these- they look cooler, but can only handle one bluetooth link at a time. that being said- its AWESOME for the gym- no wires!
