For Riders Who Have Pivo Online Lessons or Own their Own Ceecoach Devices
When you’re riding and using tech like Pivo for virtual lessons or Ceecoach for real-time coaching, audio quality and connectivity matter. Here’s why:
Pivo requires Bluetooth: Your phone sits on the Pivo device for filming, so a wired headset simply won’t reach. Bluetooth is essential for freedom of movement.
Ceecoach supports both wired and Bluetooth, but wireless gives riders more comfort and eliminates tangled cords. This is only if you own your own Ceecoach devices. (Read this blog post when you are getting lessons from a coach and they have a Ceecoach. It recommends the best wired options for this instead.)
Why Shokz OpenRun Pro2 Mini is the Best Choice
Open-ear design: Keeps you aware of your horse and surroundings while listening to instructions.
Bone conduction technology: Transmits sound through cheekbones, leaving ears open for safety.
Mini size: Perfect for riders with smaller head circumference or those wearing helmets.
Durability: IP67 waterproof rating, sweat-resistant, and lightweight titanium frame.
Battery life: 48 hours of use + quick charge (10 mins = 1.5 hrs).
Multipoint pairing: Connect to Ceecoach and your phone simultaneously.
Price in Australia: Around $319 Shokz AU.

Why Bluetooth for Pivo?
Your phone is mounted on the Pivo pod during filming, so wired headphones simply won’t reach. Bluetooth ensures:
Freedom of movement while riding.
Stable audio connection for virtual lessons.
Hands-free calls if needed during training.
Ceecoach Wireless Options
Ceecoach now supports Bluetooth headsets like Shokz OpenRun Pro2 Mini and Soundcore Sport X20 for trainers and riders who want:
Clear voice quality with noise suppression.
Freedom from cords for safety and comfort.
Compatibility with helmets
My Pick
Shokz OpenRun Pro2 Mini as it fits perfectly under your helmet/hair and ears and you can hear ambient noise for safety. Really clear sound and handles the wind really well.
If you Don't Own Your Own Ceecoach
You should consider your own wired headphones with microphone capabilities. As this makes it more hygienic and saves time with Bluetooth pairing (which can be a little tricky with Ceecoach models around at the moment). You can read my recommendations for this situation here.
