I already own an "old" AirPods but since I go out with my bike ( road + off road ) I guess transparency mode would allow me to safely drive my bike while listening to music. The only thing is that my current AirPods tend to fall off ( or at list I have this feeling ).
I was wondering:
- 3rd party earphones may have the same feature?
- any way to secure AirPods in case the fall off while driving my bike?
- is transparency mode safe to use while on road?
 
- 3rd party earphones may have the same feature?
Powerbeats Pro 2
- any way to secure AirPods in case the fall off while driving my bike?
You mean something like this?

I prefer the Powerbeats Fit Pro, very secure, excellent sound and has transparancy as well as ANC modes. What I like best about the Fit Pro is that the buttons can be customized and the controls work really well, something the 2's and 4's don't have. I don't like the over ear clips of the Power beats Pro 2, I find the in ear Fit Pro better. Also with the Beats line, they have an Android App that gives them all the same features as IOS if you ever want to go to Android.
