I hope you aren't running with ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones or have some dedicated safe place to run.

- Swizec 5y agoI’ve tested and thanks to the low volume I can hear more than I did with normal earbuds. Noise cancelling is great at blocking out constant sounds like wind and background traffic, but it doesn’t do much for acute noises like horns, nearby cars, bicycle bells, or people talking/shouting. With regular earbuds they were cranked up to 80% to block out the wind so I couldn’t hear any of the acute sounds I can hear with noise canceling and volume at 20%. Funfact: I ride my motorcycle with actual earplugs. The wind noise at 80mph causes permanent damage after 15min. You hear more of the important stuff with earplugs because they block the wind.
- rangersanger 5y agoWhat headphones are you using? I’m training for a marathon and it’d probably be wise for me to turn down the volume a bit but running with my bose closed backs sounds miserable
- Swizec 5y agoAirPods Pro have worked best of everything I’ve tried
- mechanical_bear 5y agoKeep it to a reasonable volume, keep your head on a swivel, wear your PT belt and you’ll be fine. Deaf and hard of hearing folks aren’t getting mowed down in droves.
