This is my second pair of shokz. I bought an entry pair a couple of years ago and completely wore them out. I bought a higher end pair this time because I just love them so much. These fit better, charge faster, and are lighter. However, the sound is not good. The vibration isn't as strong and the sound is not as loud. If there is any traffic - I can't hear. If there is anything in the background - I can't hear. Today at work I'm using my old ones so I am sure to get enough volume. I love their look and feel, but am still thinking about returning them. Finally, I switch back and forth between two devices and the switch isn't as easy. My old ones would sync to two devices and this one does sometimes. Sometimes it only syncs to one. I can't figure out the pattern.

😍 them! Always disliked in ear headphones, really dig these super comfortable, nearly perfect sound & decent battery life. Wear them on my morning walk, I really enjoy being able to listen to music & hear nature (birds mostly). I like the color (blue/green), wish the came in Neon colors too!

This is my third Shokz device. I was turned on to them at the outset of the pandemic by a friend. With day long Zoom meetings comfort was a priority and I could not handle in-ear devices for so long. The bone conduction format was perfect and open-ear ability to hear you local environment is enjoyable. I often forget I have them on after hours of use. Highly recommend them!

These are incredible headphones for hearing your external surroundings. They are not great when external noises (cars) supersede your content. They do buzz rather than bass when your music is cranked to overcome external noises. My shoegaze needs are well served, my hip-hop/rap needs are underserved. At the end of the day, they are what they are. Believe what they say.

I am more likely to get out and walk now that I can hear sounds around me while listening to my music. I'm surprised how hard it is to do a previous song with three clicks. Also since I listen to Audio listen to Audiobooks, I don't know if there's a way to rewind for 30 seconds or a minute rather than a whole chapter. May not matter since I don't think I can do the previous song clicks well on any regular basis.

So Ive actually had these headphones for 2 years, but after recent events I had to go back to write a review. I misplaced my headphones last summer, and recently found them BURIED IN MY GARDEN. Better yet, they still work perfectly, having survived through dirt, rain, snow etc of a Canadian winter - Im talking -35C I have sensory issues and really like that these dont cut ambient noise, it sounds like theres a speaker playing in the room, but I can still hear people talking to me etc. Perfect for work, exercise, walking my dog, anything. I dont love things inside my ears but over ear headphones get too hot/uncomfortable, so these bone conduction style is perfect and stay on comfortably all day. Not top notch sound quality so likely not for true audiophiles but are incredibly functional for day to day casual use

Battery is excellent! The features are great. The package is also good and I always use it when I’m going out, in my bag, to keep it protected. I bought the mini version and it’s perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase and it’s worth the price.

My husband and I both have a pair and love them! Setup and connectivity are simple. Being able to hear everything around is impressive. We both have small ears and these are a life changer - no more earbuds falling out of my ears and having sore ears. Along with small ears I, myself, have a small framed neck and skull - the mini is the closest fit I could get, but wish they were just a bit smaller. Meanwhile we tend to forget we have them on. I hope these last longer than other headphones/earbuds I have had in the past. If they last the price is well worth it.

I have tried many different types of earbuds, none of which stayed in my ear when standing completely motionless, let alone while exercising. Over the ear headphone worked ok, but on long runs they would start to hurt my ears. These you can barely feel, I can wear them for hours without any discomfort. They also don’t block ear canal, so when running on the road or around people you can still hear what’s happening around you which makes me feel safer. I can’t recommend these enough, especially if you have been struggling to find headphones that fit or are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time. Worth every penny!

I love these headphones for just what they were meant for. To be able to listen to music/podcasts/ etc while still having heads up awareness and being able to hear all the elements around me. Sure I don't hear the music as well when I'm in high road traffic, but more importantly, I can hear said traffic. I am also aware of the people around me or when someone may be stepping into my blind spot. They exceed what is expected of them, and as being someone that works in the music industry, I wear these at work rather than ear buds, as with ear buds I found my ears ringing after prolonged wear. These have been an incredible investment and highly recommend these to anyone.
