Alpecin-Deceuninck’s audio partner, H2O Audio, recently sent a pair of their top-tier RIPT Ultra headphones to try. They were excellent, and I awarded them four stars. I was impressed not just by the sound quality, but their clear understanding of what people who train a lot need from a good pair of headphones.
However, as over-ear headphones, they weren’t at all recommended for cycling outside, where as cyclists, we need all of our available senses to keep us and other road users safe.
