[Trainer-Talk] Solutions for using an iPhone in a pocket (as an actual phone)?

[Nik Petersson]

I second the Airpods pro, they are great.  I use my phone about 6-7 hours per day and using one at a time I get threw a complete day.  As for the Bose, I have seen some really good reviews  as well.  I used Aftershocks for a while, but the audio for the person you are talking with one the phone is not very good and having them on for a prolonged time made my head hurt.  Again, the Apple Air-pods  Pro has great sound and great soundpickup..  I would highly suggest getting Applecare if you decide to go with them.

Thanks, Nik.
