Exercise Bikes with Speakers Buying Guide

Exercise bikes with built-in speakers are becoming the norm for riding enthusiasts. Purchasing an exercise bike with an iPod/mp3 dock usually ensures that the bike also comes equipped with built-in speakers. Exercise bikes with speakers allow you to listen to your favorite tunes through a quality sound system. Many exercise bikes with speakers include iFit capability letting you listen to your favorite personal trainer’s instructions while working out.

Of course the main advantage to bikes with speakers is riding ears-free totally eliminating earphones. While some exercise enthusiasts have become comfortable pedaling their way with attached earphones, most riders prefer listening to music via speakers instead. Long-term earphone use has been known to irritate ears as well as cause ear damage because of the intensity of high volumes pointed directly at the ear drum. Exercise bikes with speakers ultimately protect your ear from unneeded damage.

If the speaker advantage is important to you, be sure to pick a bike with a good sound system. Cheaper exercise bikes with speakers may produce erratic sound. However, you may be surprised how much punch some bikes with cheaper speakers actually provide.

Before you buy, it is always a good idea to test out the speakers while riding to verify how the sound will be over the noise of the bike. Cranking up the volume of your speakers so you can hear over bike noise defeats the purpose of quality sound. The good news is that most reputable bikes with speakers are very quiet allowing for a comfortable volume ride.

If you’re a true music lover it definitely makes sense to pay a little more for an exercise bike with built-in speakers. Because most exercise bikes with speakers also come equipped with iPod dock capability, you should be set to pedal your way to the best workout your tunes can provide. As bikes with speakers continue to draw music fans, look for more bikes to come equipped with speakers as a standard feature.
