Description:
There is nothing quite like playing roulette with the British weather. On today’s ride, it was a constant game of dodging downpours, chasing pockets of dry tarmac, and outrunning the rain clouds.
Aside from trying to stay dry, I’m putting the audio setup on the BleeqUp Ranger smart glasses through its paces. With a 5-microphone array designed to isolate your voice and scrub out aerodynamic drag, we’re testing exactly how it handles real-world wind noise when you’re pushing the pace to outrun a storm.
How do you think the wind filtration holds up against the elements? Drop a comment below!
