Non-bike bike gear tested: H2O Audio’s TRI 2 bone conduction headphones

H2O Audio released its TRI 2 Pro Multi-Sport with Playlist+ bone conduction headphones this week, aiming to enhance situational awareness for cyclists. These headphones utilize bone conduction technology, which transmits sound through the bones of the skull to the inner ear, leaving the ear canal open. This design allows users to listen to music, podcasts, or audiobooks while remaining aware of their surroundings, a critical safety feature for e-bike riders. The reviewer found the TRI 2 Pro headphones to be a preferred option for activities requiring both audio engagement and environmental awareness, highlighting their effectiveness in balancing entertainment with safety on the road. The product's ability to keep the user connected to ambient sounds like approaching vehicles or other cyclists was a key factor in its positive reception.
