    The good: Great sound, even in noisy areas. Plugging your ears actually just makes the sound louder and clearer. Generally comfortable. With nothing to stuff in my ears, there's nothing to irritate my ears. I often forget they are there. The not so good: The only thing that keeps them from being perfect is the band does not adjust. On my head, there is about an inch gap between the back of my head and the band. This becomes an issue when wearing a hat or hoodie or anytime your head has to rest against a surface such as a high backed chair. Also, the charge port is a specialized magnetic cable. I think mine came with 2, home & away. Don't lose them.

    This is the 3rd pair I have purchased from this brand. 2 for my pops and 1 pair for me. The rumors are true the bass is lacking. The reason my pops had to purchase a 2nd pair was because he would sweat but not be mindful to have the device dry while charging and he would be drenched in sweat and it would go into the multi fuction button pictured in the default product picture. Another thing to be wary of is that this uses SBC (not ACC or APTX or LDAC) so if you want sound quality these are not the headphones for you. However there are a lot of upsides especially if you have frequent ear infections like myself or need to have situational awareness while being on a call or passively listening to some light music. Another useful feature is where you can pair this up to two devices. The battery life is also very good I can listen to these headphones for 8 hours from my phone just constantly playing music.

    It works well only cons is the base is non existence and the range isnt too far. Otherwise definitely helps avoid my chronic headaches. It also hides with my hair so no one sees it unless i point it out lol

    Sound is good. Range is also good. Hover the earpiece does not always seem to fit properly in the air. I think it is a little too small. I like the look and lightness of it. Sometimes if I have it around my neck I forget that it is there. The battery life on it is also great.

    My work doesn't allow headphones for safety and awareness reasons. They are looking into allowing this type of headphones. So I got these to try them out and be ready for when I can use them at work. They are light and not uncomfortable. Have worn them for up to 12+ hours (length of my work shift). They are clean and clear sounding. There is not much low end though, if you want Bass then this technology is not for you - at least not yet. No low end punch at all. Because of this music does not always sound full and encompassing. Music with lots of orchestration and full range of tones/sounds feel empty/lacking. One of my favorite songs for testing audio is 'Gateway' by Delerium. The clarity and detail of the rain and mid upper ranges was beautiful; but the drive from the lower end that completes and fulfills the song is missing. Still great for listening to audio books, and songs with focus on vocals. I had a great time going around the house the night I got these singing along with my favorite songs as I was testing them out, sampling what they were capable of. For songs/music that the Bass is needed I will use my on/over ear headphones. Listening to an audio book with pauses and all, the battery lasted a little more than 10 hours. Set up and controls are simple, easy and accessible. Only a few days and pause/volume are almost subconscious and reflexive. When work authorizes use of these I my get a second set so I can listen to music the full shift. Just have to be a little more aware of what music I select for my Playlist when using these.

    I recently bought the Shokz OpenRun Bone Conduction Headphones, and I must say, they are an intriguing piece of audio technology. First and foremost, the comfort level of these headphones is exceptional, however if you wear them as often as I do, they can become uncomfortable. The lightweight design and the absence of earbuds or over-ear cups make them incredibly comfortable to wear. Plus, they stay in place during physical activities, making them ideal for sports or outdoor use. The sound quality is surprisingly good. While the audio doesn't match the depth and richness of traditional headphones, the bone conduction technology delivers clear and crisp sound. The open-ear design allows you to stay aware of your surroundings, which is a significant safety advantage, especially for outdoor activities. However, in noisy environments, the sound can be affected by external interference, slightly compromising the listening experience. The built-in microphone ensures clear call quality during phone conversations. Battery life is amazing. With a single charge, I was able to use them for 16 hours of continuous playback. The charging process is hassle-free thanks to the included USB cable, and the quick charging feature provides a decent amount of playback time with just a short charging session. One draw back is that the bass response is not as pronounced as that of traditional headphones, which might disappoint bass enthusiasts. Overall, the headphones offer an innovative and comfortable listening experience. They excel in terms of comfort, connectivity, and battery life. If you prioritize situational awareness, such as during outdoor activities or while working, these headphones are worth considering. However, if you crave deep bass and complete noise isolation, you may want to explore other options.

    I purchased these as a upgrade from Aftershockz Air. I enjoy the sound quality but not much difference between the Air. It has a magnetic charging system that works quite well. Battery life is good and gets me through several days of activity on a single charge. Hearing what's around you as well as hearing your music is a perfect combination makes these headphones a safe bet. I do like the lightweight and the fit around your ears. The only problem I have had is the headphones turn off while listening to music from time to time. This can be very irritating while doing physical activity. Aftershockz states that resetting the headphones fixes the issue but its shut off a few times since. I will be contacting them shortly in hopes to resolve this issue.

    As someone that spends their entire workday on the phone running a remote team these have been excellent. I wore many earbud styles and most recently the Bose open sport earbuds and other "headphones" as a phone headset for years. They began causing issues with ear infections that i never had before and have not had since going to the on ear style of one of the bose. However, Bose was uncomfortable for long periods due to pinching of upper ear. But was better than in ear. Software was very slow and clunky and often disconnected without notification. Looking for a simple alternative i tried the Shokz out and immediately they are more comfortable and the software has run flawlessly so far. Only con would be that volume can only go so high before its just annoying buzzing on your temples. I will mention that at first i did get low level phantom buzzing while not wearing them which was odd and concerning. But the occurrence has lessened substantially over time. All in all they have been excellent but for music i would still go with an over the ear model for sound quality like Seinheisers or the Bowers and Wilkins P50's or whatever is their current model. Battery life has been excellent. Design is comfortable but i don't love the need to always wear both and that they are connected. But they are comfortable enough that i forget about that quickly. Probably a bigger concern for those with longer hair as the connection is fairly rigid. So yeah, great for what they are!

    The battery lasts quite a while compared to other wireless headphones. They are very comfortable to wear! The sound quality is decent, but the bass is somewhat lacking. Having not used other bone conduction headphones, I don't know if this is a limitation of the technology or if it's just this model. Otherwise, I love them and highly recommend them!

    I love these headphones. The sound is great, especially if I use foam earplugs to filter out external noise. The battery holds charge well, and doesn't fatigue much even from daily rechargings. They're super-comfortable, so that I often completely forget they're on my head. The one downside, perhaps, is reliability. My first pair failed due to the micro-USB charging port. This has since been replaced with a magnetic charging port. On my second pair the buttons eventually stopped working: due to sweat exposure, perhaps (although they are rated sweat resistant). Each of these failed within the 2-year warranty period, so I was fine. If they lasted longer they'd get 5 stars

    I intended to use these while.running and biking, and they are great for it. They stay out on your head, allow you to wear hats and helmets without issue. Great purchase for this use case. Sound quality is better than I anticipated, but barely anything for base, though this makes sense. As far as a workout headset goes that still allows you to hear what is going on a round you a bit, these are great. If you turn them up enough, it does still block out hearing people talk to you, and you can still hear sound coming from the unit itself. It's not magic where you only hear sound once it touches your face. They are still speakers, but it is still a really cool experience.

    I use my AfterShokz for running because I've had consistent issues with my ear holes getting sweat in them using regular ear buds. These are surprisingly snug and play a good enough volume of music that sometimes I forget I'm even wearing them. PROS Excellent for running and outdoor sports. Lightweight Safe - you can hear most noises around you Don't go IN your ear so you don't get sweat in there Easy to clean CONS Sometimes the audio will go up and down in volume. Not sure what causes it. Hardly no bass so not good for music that sounds better with it. Not sound proof VERDICT If you are outdoors and dealing with a ton of traffic or the potential to be "snuck up on" in a dangerous area - these are good. You get to be hyper-aware of your surroundings. On the other hand, if you are at the gym and just want bass and to hear the loudest it goes - I recommend something else.

    Great overall quality and battery usage. Some people said that they didn't get good battery life. I personally charge mine every three days. Now I don't listen to music all day everyday and my phone doesn't ring off of the hook through out everyday. I get consistant usage with the occasional music playing when I'm extremely bored and still only charge every thirday day. Pros: -Great battery life -Small and convenient -Quick and easy charging (also comes with two chargers) -Good microphone pick-up Cons: -Vibration on hear bones is very uncomfortable when volume turned up too high -Wide head people can become uncomfortable on hear bones just below temples from pressure of wearing for too long. -Not good for bike riding phone calls (wind interference is substantial and can hinder both micrphone and audio quality).
