What are Mathieu van der Poel and Alpecin-Deceuninck listening to on the Team bus this week, en route to the Tour de France?

H20 Audio is a San Diego-based audio-tech company, and since Paris-Roubaix, is the new official Audio Partner of Alpecin–Deceuninck and Fenix–Deceuninck WorldTour Cycling Teams. It makes a range of water or sweat-resistant audio products for training, including some neat bone-conducting waterproof ones you can wear on the turbo or take to the pool, and these sweat-resistant over-ears, the RIPT Ultras.

Now, if this all sounds like a tenuous reason for me to borrow a nice fancy pair of headphones, you’re not wrong. However, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to test what *could be* Mathieu van der Poel’s best headphones to see if I could get in the zone like he does.
