Sound Glasses
Price £ 175 Available from getsoundglasses . com
Buhel has combined two common cycling accessories into one with the Sound Glasses . These stylish sunglasses hide a surprising secret . They utilise Bluetooth and bone-conducting technology to allow you to listen to music safely while cycling . It does this by transferring sounds via your cheek bones into your ears , keeping them free to still hear the world around you . A built-in microphone allows you to take calls , and the glasses come with three pairs of interchangeable lenses of different tint strengths to suit the season .
