I don’t mind surrounding noises. At least I can hear when a man sneaks up one me and scares the bejeebers outta me. Which is what happened when I wore noice canceling Bose. Won’t make that mistake again.

The only issue is that the volume is not high enough especially when biking. I had an earlier version that had great sound. the up side is the extended battery life making them great for use during air travel.

My wife just loves it. She walks about 2 to 4 miles every day when not raining. She won’t leave home without it. One of the best gifts I have ever gave her.

Color is good. The design is comfortable. There is no great range, and battery life is good, but it does not tell me when it is low battery. My complaint is about the vibration I feel in my bone ear. I cannot tolerate the vibration all the time.

The one (minor) improvement to the instructions, should have included a section on charging the headset. The existing instructions are super easy to follow... they just need a section regarding charging the headset.

These definitely don’t have 10 hours of play time off a full charge. I go to the gym twice (abt 90 min max each session) and they’re dead! I wouldn’t buy them again for this reason alone

These headphones are incredibly comfortable. They are light and not intrusive. Unfortunately, I find music, podcasts and voice calls inaudible even when the volume is on its highest setting.

I like them, but there are some drawbacks. Great for driving, walking, working, but not so much reclining. The band bothers me when my head is against a pillow, or headrest, and even more wearing eyeglasses, and reclining.

The sound quality really isn’t great. I like the spatial awareness… that being said it makes it pretty easy to hear what’s going on around you when you can barely hear the music from your Shokz at FULL volume.

These work exactly as described. I was initially worried about how they’d fit over my ears and if they would flop when I run- so far no issues! I’m really happy I got these. Also the blue is really pretty in person.
