Listening to music, podcasts or audiobooks whilst cycling indoors and outdoors can be really enjoyable and sometimes it can be really nice to immerse yourself in an interesting podcast conversation or audiobook as you spin through the lanes on a warm afternoon. At the other end of the spectrum, if you are completing a set of intervals on the smart trainer or warming up for a race, listening to music has been shown to have positive benefits during exercise.
A good quality pair of headphones can often prove to be a bit of a revelation if and when you upgrade. Sound quality, as well as comfort, can both often improve making the cycling and audio experience far better, browse our range of discounted headphones below, there's a fair chance you may find something you fancy.
Cyber Monday Apple AirPods deals
Apple AirPods Pro 2:
UK: £229.00 £199.99 at Amazon UK 13% off - Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) Wireless Ear Buds come equipped with USB-C Charging, Up to 2X More Active Noise Cancelling Bluetooth Headphones, Transparency Mode, Adaptive Audio, and Personalized Spatial Audio.
Apple AirPods 2nd Gen: USA: $129.99 $79.99 at Amazon
UK: £129.00 £99.00 at Amazon Save 23-38% - The 2nd Gen of the base model AirPods might have a slightly less premium sound quality and come with a slightly shorter feature list compared to the Pro, but if you're after a more affordable option, they're still a great pair. The UK deal here isn't quite as strong, but at under £100 this is still a deal we'd recommend against the competition.
Apple AirPods 3rd Gen:
USA: $169.00 $139.99 at Amazon USA
UK: £169.00£149.00 at Amazon UK
Save 12-17% - The latest generation of the ubiquitous AirPods are on offer at $20 off. They feature 30 hours battery life, spatial audio, and are sweat and water-resistant. We've saw them at $139.99 for a brief period back in August though, so unless you're in a hurry we'd suggest holding out. The USA deal is the better of the two here, and according to our tools, is the lowest these have been priced since their launch in 2021.
Shokz OpenFit:
UK: £179.00 £152.00 (15% off)
USA: $179.95 $149.95 (17% off)
The OpenFit are unique within the Shokz line in that they come without the headband that wraps behind the head. This means you can stick with the one-ear option if you prefer.
Shokz OpenRun:
UK: £129.95 £89.95 (31% off)
USA: $129.95 $89.95 (31% off)
The OpenRun are the sporty version in the range, with a lightweight frame and a secure but comfortable fit. They're good for around eight hours of use and are IP67-rated against water and dust. They're actually probably a better pick for many cyclists than the more expensive OpenRun Pro, because they're better sealed against weather and cheaper.
The Mini version, which plays slightly nicer with helmets and high-collar winter jackets, are also on the same offer.
Shokz OpenRun Pro:
UK: £159.95 £109.95 (31% off)
USA: $129.95 $89.95 (31% off)
The OpenRun Pro are only IP55 rated, so not quite as well sealed as the OpenRun, but that's still probably enough for all but the worst rain conditions. They do benefit from a slightly better sound quality though, as well as a longer battery life of 10 hours and perhaps the biggest reason to choose these, the quick charge that will give 90 mins of use from a five-minute charge.
Shokz OpenMove:
UK: £79.95 £54.95 (31% off)
USA: $79.95 $54.95 (31% off)
The OpenMove are the entry-level product in the Shokz range, with lower levels of sound quality and shorter battery life (six hours) than the models above. They're the most affordable in the range though, and the same percentage off deal.

He has ridden and raced bikes from an early age up to a national level on the road and track, and has ridden and competed in most disciplines. He has a keen eye for pro-team tech and enjoys spotting new or interesting components in the wild. During his time at Cyclingnews, Tom has already interviewed some of the sport's biggest names including Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Alberto Contador.
