ZWIFT AUDIO RIPT ULTRA PERFORMANCE PLUS HEADPHONES
The Zwift Audio Ript Ultra Performance Plus Headphones are premium, sweatproof over-ear headphones built specifically for indoor cycling. Featuring an IPX7 waterproof rating, they easily handle intense training sessions while providing crisp sound.
Engineered to solve the ultimate indoor training dilemma, the Zwift Audio Ript Ultra Performance Plus Headphones provide a high-performance audio experience that standard lifestyle headphones simply cannot survive. Created in collaboration with water-sports audio specialists H2O Audio, these headphones are built from the ground up to withstand the highly corrosive nature of heavy indoor cycling sweat. While premium consumer headphones frequently fail due to moisture ingress, this unit features a fully sealed interior that lets you train at full gas with complete peace of mind.
The acoustic profile is tuned specifically to cut through the ambient drone of indoor trainers and high-velocity styling fans. Delivering deep, motivating bass and crystal-clear mid-tones, they ensure your favorite training playlists or Discord race chatter remain perfectly audible. The over-ear cushions are lined with a specialized, moisture-wicking material that remains comfortable against the skin during extended blocks of sweet-spot intervals, and the entire unit can be easily wiped down after your ride.
Equipped with dual-mode Bluetooth connectivity, the headphones seamlessly bridge to your indoor training ecosystem. You can simultaneously connect to your smartphone for music or phone calls while staying paired to your PC, Mac, or tablet to hear crucial in-game Zwift sound effects and race cues. With an expansive battery life designed to outlast the longest virtual endurance events, it is the definitive audio upgrade for the dedicated indoor cyclist.

Why This IS For You
✅ Heavy Sweaters: The absolute best choice if you have previously ruined standard lifestyle or gym headphones with heavy perspiration during indoor sessions.
✅ Connected Virtual Racers: Perfect for riders who want to listen to high-tempo music from their phone while maintaining a clear voice connection to team Discord channels.
✅ Easy Maintenance: The exterior ear cushions are crafted for easy cleaning, allowing you to simply wipe away sweat build-up after a hard workout.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Outdoor Road Riders: The over-ear, noise-isolating design completely blocks ambient environment sounds, making them unsafe for use on open public roads.
❌ Extreme Lightweight Seekers: If you prefer the absolute weightless feel of micro true-wireless earbuds, a full over-ear chassis may feel too bulky.
❌ Pure Audiophiles: While optimized to deliver great bass for workouts, they are tuned for athletic motivation rather than analytical, studio-grade reference listening.
BFC PRO TIP
To guarantee a flawless connection every time you load up your training software, always switch on your headphones and pair them to your device before launching the Zwift application. Zwift sometimes attempts to force connected audio devices into a higher sampling rate upon startup, which can cause audio slowdowns on certain Bluetooth chipsets if the headphones are paired mid-ride. Starting the audio stream first completely circumvents this issue!
