Although the sound quality is a step up from the Aeropex, unfortunately there is little to no water resistant on this unit. Even with a bit higher than mild sweat, the sound will distort which leaves a sour taste when thinking about the older model I replaced it with. Bone conduction was never, in my opinion, ment to compete with higher quality headphones, it was ment for safety and hopefully reliability. I now realize I might have been better off with a downgrade instead of going for the latest, which I had hoped would mean the greatest. So overall the pros are better sound quality, faster turn on, and maybe better battery life. Cons: downgraded water resistant, higher price, not suitable for hard activities.

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.

I paid extra for the pro version because it stated that it had a little more base. All that does it rattle and vibrate more and I’ve since seen many other reviews stating the same thing. And I have a big head and they don’t exactly fit as well as I would have thought. I’m not happy with them but it is what it is I guess.

These are comfortable, lightweight and hold a charge much longer than previous models that I have owned. My one complaint is that they seem to have a delayed bluetooth connection to my phone. Where prior versions instantly connected (i. e. I heard every notification or tone and my voice connection to Siri was instantaneous) this pair only gives me part of the notification and Siri is constantly saying "I'm sorry, I don't understand. " Once the connection is made, though, everything is good. I used these to listen to podcasts, music, scroll TikTok without bothering other people and talking on the phone.

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

A pricey "nice to have" but worth it. No longer do my earbuds fall out of my ear. Sound is awesome and control of the device is very easy. It's easy to hear people talking / background noise without sacrificing sound quality. I feel safe using while riding a bike, something I avoided with other ear buds. I definitely recommend these.

These mini pros are great. It feels better to have a smaller band coming around the back of your head. These sound better and look more durable than the "Airs" that I have. These are my 5th pair of shokz, as my family members keep taking them. One pair was replaced under warranty, so it's great to support a company that stands behind their product.

This device is the BEST I’ve ever had for a Bluetooth earpiece. Because it’s balanced around the back of the head, there’s not so much pressure on the ears, and especially inside the ears. I feel like I can still listen and be alert to my surroundings, yet able to hear my music, audiobooks, podcast, whatever I’m listening to; and with a simple push of a button, change over to a phone conversation and listen and talk just fine. I love this thing!

Great for runs, commuting, hiking, and even working in-office--they stay put, sound great while allowing me to hear things around me, and the ability to skip, play/pause, and adjust volume without touching my phone is great. The only negatives for me are: 1) I live in a very urban area that is often noisy so that even at max volume, I sometimes can't hear what I'm listening to (which is probably intentional to maintain situational awareness) and 2) I have long hair that often gets caught in my OpenRuns (I'll consider OpenFit next)

These were purchased for my son. He put them on and SURPRISINGLY he could hear music in his left ear because of the bone conduction and not in the actual ear. He hasn't been able to hear in that ear because of an injury he had in high school 20 years ago. We were totally NOT expecting this, as this isn't the reason we purchased them. They are very comfortable and sound great...in both ears! He is more than pleased.
