I was hesitant to get these headphones because I didn’t like the design initially. Now I’ve ran with them and I appreciate the sound quality (range of volume and clarity) when I’m on a busy street or out on a loan highway. I’d recommend for anyone that is going from over the ear headphones, these are much better!

I'm a long distance runner and I enjoy listening to podcasts as I run, recently my old headphones died so I was advised to go for a pair of Shokz. In the shop they sounded great, nice and clear and really comfortable. But unfortunately when I took to the roads it was a different story. I couldn't hear anything over traffic going by, and I mean nothing. When I got off the roads and onto the trails it didn't get much better sadly. The breeze (not wind) also reduced the audio quality massively. So I'm afraid I had to return my pair and go for an alternative brand. I can see how these headphones would work in calmer conditions, but they are just not good for the windswept Wicklow hills in Ireland. Maybe as the technology develops they will improve but for me for now it's a strong pass for now.

Sound quality is acceptable, but nowhere near the quality of over the ear headphones or earbuds. The volume capacity is useless for noisy areas like gyms or workout rooms. The sound (music, TV, etc.) gets drowned out by a simple fan, the rollers of a bike trainer, or overhead music. The main pro for these headphones is the ability to hear traffic and noise clearly when riding outside on a road bike.

It is easy to use, comfortable to wear, the sound for music and podcast etc is between ok and good but i give good because it is what it is it doesn’t cover the ear it travels the bone and for that is not bad sound, the phone is a little low for my liking, but overall is a good product and they improved already for prior generation and I am sure they will keep being better, the mini is very discrete and have a very nice and tight fit. I am happy with my purchase.

Worth every penny, as the title says. I wear them while shopping and doing chores and driving and I can still hear everything that's going on around me (and I have kids, so I can't just block them out with earbuds all day, much as I might be tempted to.) I also use them on bike rides, listening to the music that lights a fire under my butt to keep me moving while still able to be aware of traffic and all the hazards around me. I love these so much; I hope I'm never without them.

I ordered these because as a women running alone in the dark most of the time it’s very important to hear my surroundings! If you’re a runner who enjoys getting lost in your runs with loud music, understand that’s not what these are for! Turns these up as loud as possible and the sound quality isn’t going to be there. These headphones do exactly what they intend to do be super comfortable and allow you to enjoy a podcast or music while also being fully able to hear your surroundings! Worth the buy!

These are my 3rd pair of Shokz. There is a huge difference in road and wind noise with this pair. When I am talking on the phone, people can hear me even in the wind. I opted for the smaller size this time and they fit me so much better than previous pairs (I have a small head). They are so light I forget I am wearing them. I need to figure out how all the buttons work though - how to change a song etc.

Shokz is the top product on the market! It is wonderful to not have something in your ear! Not to mention the ease of wearing the headset. It is lightweight, you barely realize it is on you! Listening to music is to a new level! And if you are on a call, no one can tell you have a headset on!! Super quality! Will always own this! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sound quality is very good. I would have liked for the head set to have some "bend-ability" so that I could more closely fit device to the ear. Controls work well and a single charge lasts several hours. Bone conduction technology eliminates need for in ear fit, so no more "runners ear". Noise cancellation is somewhat effective. This could be improved.

So I have been familiar with this product for a while and only wish I had tried it myself sooner! Sound quality is great when you consider the added safety provided by the open ear technology. I run in the dark on busy roads a lot and these are a game changer. Don’t get my wrong, it’s not what you will get from a pair of Bose noise cancelling headphones but that is the point! In addition to running, I have found them to be great for grocery shopping as I can hear sounds of the store while enjoying my podcasts.
