So i went out on my folding oru beach lt for the first time yesterday, really happy with how it performed. But it collected a lot of mud and duck poo, i have a hose at home but dont really have the space to open it out and hose it down. Im wondering how other people are overcoming this?

​

And how often are you cleaning it, is it absolutely necessary to wash it after every use, just when it gets particularly dirty, or once every few months?

Which are better? And having already just paid for the shokz openrun 2, is it worth getting the raycon ones for £100 less tuan the price i paid for the shokz.

So i use open ear earphones for work (i am a cargo bike cyclist, 8 hours of cycling around london 5 days a week) when i cycle for leisure i use normal headphones but im usually off road, when cycling for work its all on road, often busy areas etc so not drowning out surrounding noise is important.

When i first started this job i got the shokz openrun 2, i was happy with them but then i saw adverts for the raycon ones, and saw they have a feature where you can toggle where the earpieces hang, which the shokz dont have, and their one size is not a perfect fit for me. They fit, and stay on, but not quite in tje *perfect* position. The other day i lost them, (not at work but somewhere i wanted to take them instead of my clunky big normal headphones). Now i need these for work and dont have time to wait for a delivery, and i hate long travel without music so i went into the nearest suitable shop to get some more in person. I was hoping this would be an opportunity to switch to the raycon. But the shop didnt have raycon at all. So i got the same shokz openrun 2. On the way home, i see that the raycon were priced at ~64 quid. Compared to the 169 quid i paid for the shokz. So that hurts.

Other than the toggle-able fit of the raycon, those who have used both, are there any other major differences? How does the sound quality compare? I have them bluetoothed to my samsung galaxy s25. Ive seen that the raycon use a newer version of bluetooth... does that make any noticeable difference?

What im really asking is, having already paid 169 quid for the shokz, now i have them, is it worth getting the raycon anyway? I dont mind paying 64 quid for them, i do wish that the shop had them in the first place though... that 169 quid hurts.

Also as a bonus question, are all open earphones, bone conduction? or is that just the raycon ones? I dont see other brands mentioning the term bone conduction, but they seem to be the same idea of not covering your ears but rather that bir just infront of your earholes and the sound goes through there. This is just me tryna understand the technical jargon.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, im taking a solo trip to krakow next week. Will be doing some sightseeing, auschwits, salt mine (more to be decided, im a last minute planner. Have previously asked in this sub about things to do in krakow and will be referring back to it for more ideas). But im intrigued about the nightlife, particularly clubbing.

Is krakow nightlife welcoming for solo foreign travellers? Are there any areas, or clubs, i should avoid, or that i should consider going to. Any krakow clubbing ettiqutte or culture i should be aware of? Anything else i should know in terms of staying safe?

I dont go clubbing much in london (where i live) as i dont really like the vibe or the music. And have never been clubbing alone.* but for a long time now ive wanted to try it in other places, particularly mainland europe. I think ill prefer the music and the vibe of the crowds.

*im actually a bit of an introvert but im trying to be more outgoing, socially independent etc so the going clubbing in a place ive never been and dont speak the language, on my own, will either go amazingly, or ill go back to my hotel room after 5 minutes 😅.

Hey guys, im new to vpn. Been intending to get one for ages and then got a subscription for free (from opening a revolut account). Ive heard the phrase regional prices, and im p sure ive heard people talking about getrinf cheaper deals in different countries, this conversation was about vpns. How true is that? And how would i know where the cheapest place to mask as is? Is it just a thing of connecting to different places and browsing and trial and error or is there some other way of finding out?

Im mainly asking as im about to book a solo trip to krakow (i live in london) and if theres a way i can get a it cheaper, id be mad not to take the opportunity.
