Seeking earkit advice for directions only

[FrothNinja]

Hello Hive
Looking for some info / advice on earphones / ear buds for cycling. It's not for music because I want to keep hearing the environment I'm cycling through. They are for when I am riding through noisy built up areas as I can't hear the directions from my devices speaker when there is traffic. They would also need to be suitable for wearing all day under a helmet - I should add that I wear glasses and cycle in the rain and cold. I have no idea where to start so your help will be greatly appreciated - AfterShokz Titanium have been recommended by someone and they are on Amazon for £56 at the mo.
Thank you

I use Aftershokz Aeropex and they are excellent. You can hear everything around you and you dont know you are wearing them.

I use a pair of Sony WI-C310 bluetooth headphones when on the bike (about £25) for listening to music, however a lot of the time I just run it through my left ear, which would work for directions only too.

I also use them when just general travelling or going to the shops and they work fine for that too.

If you don’t have volume at max, standard headphones work fine for listening to music and hearing traffic.

Same here. Alternatively look for other bone conducting headphones - much safer.
