I do some pretty vigorous bike riding and mow the lawn with them with no issues. They come with 4 different sizes of removable soft ear pieces. I went one size smaller than the factory installed ones for a better more secure fit. Hope this helps.

I have no idea. I do not have a blue tooth or headset. I only use ear phones when riding a bicycle with a helmet on.

Scott, Although not conceived as a "sports" model, I wear these phones while exercising often. I have worn them hiking steep mountain trails (just returned today from Banff, Canada), spinning, kayak camping ... you name it! I have sweat with them on and even hiked in the rain with them on. No damage to the headphones. Mine fit tight in my ears without behind the ear supports. I have never had them fall out (except when the cord is snagged on a tree branch). If they fit you as well as me they should work well during exercise. BTW - The audio reproduction is outstanding.

Did you ever find one a bluetooth or headset that works? I am having a similar problem. My ears and canals are small, so nothing seems to stay on my ear. I was thinking about trying a bluetooth that has headphones that go over your head or behind your neck, have you tried this type? I agree that they need to make these child size as well!

They work best with less wind noise. I have a Fly Full Face Racing helmet, fully enclosed. My wife has a Bell 3/4 face helmet. Your helmet needs to have slots for the speakers. On voice activation my wife's radio would start transmitting wind noise around 45+ mph. We have since switched to Uclear Bluetooth Communicators.

Sure. They stay firmly on my head during walking, running, or cycling, though when cycling the mic makes lots of wind noise so taking calls while riding is problematic. But music play is fine.

Dude... sorry, just not worth it to wear headphones while cycling. Add headphones to the sound of wind, and you won't hear cars, trains, dogs etc...

You should be able to. It might not work with certain models of helmets. I have used them while biking and they work well.

Yes, it is I have a HJC IS-MAX BT Modular helmet. The kit comes with velcro or double sided tape pieces that you use to attach the speakers, main unit and battery to the helmet. When you pop off the inside cushions of the helmet you can hide the wires so nothing sticks out. When you look at my helmet you only see the main unit. If you have a HJC helmet with a Bluetooth connection port then they make specific Bluetooth headsets for that helmet. If you have an older style helmet it is still very easy to install everything. One thing I haven't used yet is the mic, I really don't ride and talk just listen to music.

On long rides I play music and hear it just fine. I do not use earbuds and play my music through the speaker. Actually I had to turn it down a few times because the other riders would comment on my music selection. (I tend to listen to hard rock & metal when I exercise.)

I have an open face helmet with the pull down face shield if I need it. I've only had 2 calls while riding, both at about 45 mph, and had to pull down the shield, but was told by the person on the other end they could hear me decently. I didn't consider trying talking with the shield up. Phone calls while I'm riding are incredibly rare, I use it more for the music too...

I have used them while bike riding and hiking. You will find that the noise cancelation is superb. No wind nose is allowed and the earphones stay in place. The only downside to the earphones is the gauge or stiffness of the cable. Thea are the best earphones I have owned. Much better than the Bose line.

Some warn about the dangers of wearing headphones when riding a bicycle. I say as long as you have the volume low enough to hear ambulances, car honks, etc., you should be fine. That being said, I've used these dozens of times riding alongside traffic for 18-mile bike rides as well as over bridges. These are great headphones and I put them on after I put on my helmet and my glasses. They fit snugly around my ear even with my glasses on. They are not bulky at all. I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

It doesn't completely block sound, like at the gym I can still hear people's feet pounding on the treadmill. That said, I don't think anyone should be using headphones if they're cycling on the road.

Both the HBC100s that I have both ears work fine. You ight need to adjust where you have it in your helmet. I know with my Joe Rocket helmet that I do need to move my helmet just a bit to hear the left ear correctly.

It depends on what type of bicycle helmet you're using. The system relies on having some kind of covering over the ears, like a full-face motorcycle helmet. The earpiece attaches to the inside helmet liner using velcro, with the microphone wrapping around toward your mouth. The transmitter/receiver uses a clip to attach between the helmet shell and the inside padding/liner; this might be modified to use adhesive backed velcro to attach it to the outside shell, but I haven't done that. Hope this helps.
