I would like to book an online lesson with a trainer in Holland and I need some long range earphones so I can hear what she's saying as my phone will be attached to the pivo. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Not cheap but if you have an iPhone then AirPods Pro or Powerbeats Pro are amazing (I’m a headphone collecting saddo so have both!). Depending on the size of your arena you might find that your headphones lose connection to the phone at the far end so you’ll want something that automatically reconnects.
If you’ve got an Android then the Samsung Galaxy buds are supposed to be great but I don’t have any experience of them.

Haven’t tried other brands to be able to do a comparison but AirPods are amazing. I can walk around my house and make a coffee whilst on a call on the computer using AirPods, or leave phone in stable and get to muck heap with music still playing, but I don’t think you’d necessarily get say 60m (I haven’t tested range). They do just reconnect automatically if the connection drops though and they stay in your ears really well

Equibrit thanks. Have you used them while riding? I can't find the range on the Internet! Pretty much everything seems to have a 10m maximum range!

Alternatively, have one phone on the Pivo with Zoom and your instructor watching, then have her call a second phone that you pair headphones to and keep in your pocket? Only viable if you have a spare phone though!

Equibrit, yes! I was trying to work out how 66ft range could work but of course - pivo at E would solve it!
