They work fine in a quiet environment, when i use then while walking on the streets with the dogs, i struggle to hear the audible books….

I had some 1st gen AfterShox and they were great. These would get great status except they are much quieter that the OG.

Very quiet. I ended up throwing them away on the first run I did with them when I was passing a garbage can.

These were a gift for my son and he loves them!!! Amazing sound and he is still able to hear necessary communication while working outdoors.

Love the freedom(s) my Shokz afford me. Wear on my bike or a walk listening to books. Wear at my desk for phone call or other.

Easy to hear while cycling. Tuck into the helmet and away you go. Still very easy to hear people and cars while wearing them. Game changer!

Love the unit. Very good high quality nsound & my ears are open to hear other sounds. Cannot say enough about how good the unit is.

Hard to hear in the gym where the environment is louder. Unable to hear talking (podcast) where the surrounding noise level is above the norm.

The fit and concept are great. The audio is horrible. Going to return them. Maybe it’s my computer? I know others have no issues.

I really like them for running. I’ve never found in-ear buds that stay put. These do not move from my temples.
