I buy them mostly for calls and they sound great and the people hear me great too. But my head is apparently too small and they are sadly kind of big for me. The band is like 1 inch away from my head and is moving up and down if I wearing a bulky jacket for example.

Office time, running time, working in the yard, shop, etc. these are good for it all. Microphone pickup is good for listener and seems to not exaggerate some environmental noises as other Bluetooth ear buds do. Sound is plenty good enough for podcasts and music. Love open ear

Love love everything. I have 2 older models that are great (before them I never had bone conducting headphones). Those ones are AWESOME. sound is rven better than with the older, when I have them on I don't even feel them, pinching or pressure. I also really love how they are charged. No fumbling to get the USB into the headphones. Und love the color

Great for bike rides allowing me to hear the music as well as traffic. Muti-function button and phone capabilities work well. Using the multi-function button to 'go back one song' (i.e. triple click) is a little challenging to make behave as expected. Will definitely recommend to anyone that asks. :)

My GF has one, and I got one as well. The audio is great, both for listening and for noise cancelling when talking. Two big issues: 1- after 5-10 minutes of talking on a cell phone call, I can count on them dropping the call. 2- because of above, I chose to return them. Process was straightforward, but I have not heard back confirmation with shipping label after 4 days. This is really poor return practice.

If you're like me and share charging cords across devices, this is a super annoying to use. I keep a charging cord by my bed, in my car, by my sofa, and at work. I never have to move them, but can charge my phone, computer, headlamp, my other headphones and more - all using the charging cord most convenient when I need a charge. With this unique magnetic option I kept moving it from one place to another to charge and quickly lost it. Now I have unusable headphones. Universal charging cords are a major convenience. Wish I hadn't bought this set and that I could buy the older versions of shokz I used to have. The buttons are also not as easy to use as the prior versions.

Love, Love, love them. Comfortable, easy to operate, great sound quality. My third pair (upgrading each time). Every new job I go to I'm the ice breaker. I introduce them, let coworkers try them on, within two weeks half a dozen are being worn. More as time goes on. I should get a commission or bought stock in the company. I gave my last pair away to my Apprentice. He loves them. Buy a pair. You won't be disappointed. Over the ear, not in the ear, that's the comfort zone. Not one time have I been told at work by a supervisor or company man to take them off because of interfering with impeding or obstruction of hearing

Sounds are conducted to our auditory nerves (Cranial Nerve VIII, or CN VIII) through two conduits: air and bone. Air is the one familiar to most of us - sound waves in the air enter the ear canal. They make the ear drum vibrate, which makes tiny bones in the middle ear vibrate (these tiny bones are not to be confused with bone conduction, described next), which send information to CN III. The other pathway is bone conduction. A vibrating object, say a tuning fork, or the contact surfaces of these headphones, in direct contact with the skull bones, send the vibrations directly to CN VIII. Cranial Nerve VIII then sends the information to the brain's auditory processing center. These bone conduction headphones are fantastic because they induce sound fidelity that is almost as good as ear buds. But since they are not in the ear canal, they are supremely comfortable. I am able to wear them all day, listening to podcasts, making calls, etc, with none of the annoyance and discomfort of ear buds. Is music fidelity equal to my AirPods? Not quite. But I don't use earbuds for music anyway, so it is not a concern. Bottom line: if you like earphones for non-music purposes, or music but are not concerned with the highest possible fidelity, then I highly recommend these for their utility and comfort.

Battery life excellent, last almost 3 days without recharge. Depending on usage. Very lightweight, barely feel any weight. Best sound when using phone. Conversation loud and clear. I’m deaf in one ear. Music sounds ok, needs help. I need help hearing when someone speaks… hint Shokz I am very pleased with my operun. Highly recommended!

Ride my bicycle over 7,000 miles a year. Wanted a product that I did not have inside my ear as being able to pick up car sounds as expeditiously as possible is important to me. Your product delivers the goods! Moreover, the sound quality sets the benchmark for affordable listening devices. Pairing is simple, yes simple. Congratulations on delivering a wonderful product to the marketplace.
