I don't feel safe running when I can't hear the sound of cars, bikes, or people around me. I like running while listening to podcasts, audiobooks, and my running tunes. Shokz gives me the best of both worlds.

the volume control limit sucks other than that so far so good reminds me of my mother telling "turn the volume down you'll damage your hearing!" well, I'm 70 now and my hearing is fine!

I am overly satisfied. I was using a brand that stood behind its tools and tried releasing ear buds, M by name red in color. They were crap, crap reception, crap volume, crap everything. Your brand is AMAZING. You should send 2 chargers instead of 1. One is always lost and it costs your company almost 0 cents to save the packaging for a single charger in the future. Thanks. J Cruz.

First off let me say that there are not any headphones out there for working out that are more comfortable than these. Since they don’t sit in your ear, they don’t trap sweat, they don’t cause your ear to itch, and they fit over your ear so never fall off…. 5/5 in that regard. However there are two big drawbacks that might be a show stopper for some. Volume and battery life. If you work out in a large gym like i do the background noise is relatively high. Since these are meant to allow you to hear other noises as they sit in front of your ear holes, you need to turn them to max volume just to be able to hear the stuff you are playing as the background noise drowns it out otherwise. Not a huge issue but one to be aware of…. So if you like your music loud, this will likely not satisfy your preferences as the volume is adequate at best. The bigger problem is the battery life. I have owned 3 pairs, and none of them have been able to do any better than half of the advertised battery life. The first pair i owned i thought were defective because of the battery issue, so i exchanged them. At the same time i bought a second pair so i could use one for the gym when at home and one for when i travel for work on the plane and at the gyms there. The battery life was the same for all three. I average between 3.5-4 hours total use before they shut themselves off. So i will fully charge during the day and use them for 2 hours at the gym that night, and when i try to get a second trip to the gym the next day they make it about 3/4 through that second trip before dying. For me, my needs require good battery life, so even the fact they are very comfortable is not enough to overcome its shortfalls. So if you have the ability and don’t mind charging them after each use, and also don’t need super loud volume, then these are for you and i would recommend. However, if you need good battery life and volume than i cannot recommend these. Comfort- 5/5 Volume- 2/5 Battery Life- 1/5

They are light in weight, durable, and easy to use. I purchased them for a friend, and they love them. I've been using them for a while and I love them also. They are good for working out or bike riding. You can exercise, listen to music and still be aware of your surroundings.

Charges quickly and connects to my phone easily. It also stays on my head during vigorous exercise. The only challenge I have is being able to get the jawbone to stay on the sweet spot of my ear to be able to hear what's being transmitted. On the airplane I used ear plugs and got great results. However, riding in a car with simple road noise was a challenge for me to hear dialog from an audiobook at max volume without holding the contact on the sweet spot for maximum sound transfer.

These headphones exceeded my expectations. They paired quickly with my phone although they don’t pair with older technology like my surface. They work well under my hat while working around my equipment where I wear earplugs. It’s awesome to listen to music and podcasts while I work.

One of the most comfortable headphones I've ever owned, they are very lightweight.The sound is awesome and I can hear my surroundings compared to in-ear devices. The battery life lasts up to two and half days. On the downside, there's no sound cancelation, noisy traffic or wind drowns out music, the person on the other end of a call can hears noises in the background. You may want to keep your in-ear device.

I bought these, mostly because I despise ear buds. They never stay in very well so had been wanting to try these open ear headphones. They are the best purchase I have made in a long time. Sound is good. Comfortable. Battery is good. Would I buy these again? In a hot minute….yes!

Gets 1 star due to the fact that the headphones short out simply from my sweat dripping over the power/volume buttons. When this happens, the buttons cease to function - cannot turn on/off, can't change the volume, cannot pair - or even unpair. Once the device "dries out" (usually takes a week), they go back to working properly - until the next sweaty workout. Otherwise, I'd give this 4 stars. I like the bone conducting feature - though it takes some time to get used to it. Works great for outdoor exercising where you want to have an audio distraction (I suggest staying away from listening to music) but still want to be able to hear your surroundings to stay safe. I am purchasing a different model with a higher IPX8 rating
