Bike jeans and short gloves are not compatible with buying razor blades, Blade.

Haha, the razors aren't for shaving, not that I'm a hipster either (lol)

Sony Earbuds.

I'm very impressed! Superb quality, superb balanced audio quality and the battery seems to last indefinitely.

Noise cancellation is crazy good and configurable for activities. I can listen to music clearly at low volume with the kettle boiling and I can barely hear the kettle.

I have the over ear style and I know they are fantastic quality. Enjoy using your in ear style ones

I'll give it a try but I doubt it. All of these ear bud things protrude quite a bite. It would be awesome if it worked though! Especially as you can use it for telephone calls so you could potentially be on the phone to the people you're riding with

Thank you mate. I have some cheap over ear sony headphones which are good in the office as no one bothers you when wearing them but these are so superior to every headphone I've ever owned!

I would be surprised if they did, as you point out anything larger than an in-ear bud speaker is pressured & therefore uncomfortable.
Nonetheless please let us know, just in case.

They definitely don't fit under a helmet... or at least I couldn't keep them in when trying to get my loosest fitting helmet on my head.

Makita Leaf Blower. It's bloody powerful!

We have a huge Oak Tree at the rear of our property so come September we spend 3 days a week clearing the leaves.

We usually sweep them but it's just a nightmare as there's always wind whipping in from the side of the house plus any moisture makes the patio dirty afterwards which makes another job. I'm very happy with this investment
