[5k bike 50cent legs]

These might be the perfect glasses for riding and listening to music. Small speakers that allow you to hear music, but don't block the ambient noise around you. I tried them yesterday, pretty incredible. You can listen to music while having a conversation and the other person can't hear the music you're listening to. Anyone try these, on NorCal trails of course?

I use Aftershokz bone conduction headset. Similar concept in that there's nothing in the ear. One problem I foresee with these is that you are stuck with wearing these sunglasses. If you don't like the tint or style, too bad.
One issue with Aftershokz is that you have 2 things going over the top of your ear (if you wear shades too) which feels cumbersome until you get used to it.

Just use Squashyo's "Chick Magnet". Share yo tunes with everyone, whether they want it or not.

A. I don’t like riding with expensive glasses when riding because they get scratched/damaged/lost too easily.

B. I will only ride with clear lenses.

You can change the lenses. You're making the big bucks now, you can afford expensive sunglasses.

I'm getting my own pair tomorrow and will test them a bit more. From my limited use, the bass was pretty good.

I have been using Aftershokz for years...love them! FYI - Aftershokz is bringing out their own version of sunglasses with integrated speakers: https://optishokz.com/

The Optishokz look like they are more sport-oriented, with replaceable lenses that come in various tints. The Bose Wearables look more fashion-focused...not sure about how well they would work with high-output activities.

The Bose and the Optishokz at least look a lot better than the Oakley version of stereo sound sunglasses:

They're very commuter at best. $200.

Maybe put some Croakies on them to hold them on.

Actually the way they are weighted they stay on pretty well, in the parking lot at least. I haven’t taken them on anything rough. But again, I never really have an issue with glasses falling off as I ride in a more upright/BMX style stance most times in the bumps.

I want Polk Audio Vision ported subwoofers for sitting on the couch.

Those things will bounce you right off the couch like the old vibrating footbal tables!

To me they are expensive and ugly, but that is just my opinion

Well at least they have expensive going for them, my wife says I'm just plain cheap and ugly.

Ima gunna sit tight until the Sony Walkman trend comes back around.

It's hard to tell without trying them out, but they look like the wind will just circulate around the glasses and get in your eyes once you get going fast enough.
