4 stars since it is frustrating that they automatically join two of my open devices when I open the charger when in fact I am not necessarily going to use them right away. The only option is to either disconnect and find the devices or unpair every time which I don’t want to do - otherwise this is my 4th or 5th pair of shokz so clearly I am a big fan

The microphone sounds muffled when I am talking to family and friends. They can seldom hear me which compels me to switch to my cellphone's microphone. It gets annoying after a while. I don't recall having this issue with the open fit. I thought, this is the premium version of the two. Disappointment :-(.

Easy 5/5 on all fronts besides the random disconnections. A single ear will disconnect for no discernable reason. Sometimes left, sometimes right, never both at the same time. I'm not sure if it's a Bluetooth receiver issue, but it happens at home all the time

Great product, comfortable, light. Sound is slightly muffled compared to the Open Air Mini but doing housework (anything other than vacuuming) the sound is pretty good. I don’t see how you can wear earplugs with these to maximize the sound like you would with the bone conduction version. For me, I’m just not sure about these. Got them as an alternative to the Air mini bone conduction but these give vmcreate a complete shut out for me (like over the ear headphones do) and that is not my comfortable for me (it’s an auditory thing for me, not a product thing). The app is way to download and use. Probably returning.

At first, I really loved the sound. But, when running in the heat, sweat seems to interfere with the volume controls...volume gets louder and louder or less and less . I've since learned to dry them and that helps. Also, tried to use on a zoom meeting and while everyone could hear me, I couldn't hear anyone else. Computer settings were reviewed to ensure appropriate.

I've been wearing these for over a month now and am truly impressed by the comfort of wear and ease of manipulating the touch/tap use, and how it connects fluidly to the app in my iPhone, MacBook Pro 13" M1, and my iPad Pro. I have even found they are relatively easy-ish to sleep with making it possible to turn them into sleep-buds with white noise or 'sleep sounds' they are almost perfect for side sleeping too. I am a caregiver to my parents and sleep near them so this has been great for me to nap, or do work, while hearing them for safety and health. I also wear thick tortoiseshell glasses and have no problem wearing. I put the earbuds on first and then my glasses. Easy. The only thing that might be amazing is if they could make these as a full back of head/neck option if a person doesn't want their ear 'tired' from such things hanging over ear in this way. Sometimes I prefer that to this design-type. HOWEVER I REALLY LOVE THESE. (wished they came in purple or lavender 🥰 )

I do like these headphones, but I wish the sound got a little louder. I am completely deaf in my left ear so I use only the right headphone. For the most part, all the sound will come through one side but sometimes it’s too quiet even at max volume or it cuts out a bit like it’s trying operate in stereo and send some of the sound to the left bud. You can customize the touch settings but it is limited. I wish it had more freedom to change the settings there. Previously I used a pair of bone conduction headphones and those worked better sound wise, but the multi-point pairing was glitchy and the comfortability wasn’t as good. I wish Shokz could merge the good things about both units and make them amazing, especially if it could work in single ear bud mode.

So I am a customer since the aeropex by aftershocks days and I absolutely love the original style. I thought I’d give these new ones a try when it came time to replace an older pair. After a couple months, I am pretty happy with them, sometimes I do wish I had stuck with the original 1 piece design but these are still 10x better than something you have to jam up inside your earhole . Sound is great, they stay on, the multipoint pairing is awesome and they intuitively jump back and forth between my tablet and phone with no need to sync up they do it automatically. After a few hours of wear, your ears can become slightly sensitive as they gently squeeze the ear to stay in place. All in all they’re solid, just depends on preference but I will never jam a headphone in my ear again while these are around.

The sound and comfort are great on my end. I have a lot of people telling me that it’s hard to hear me on phone calls, so I assume that the microphone could use an upgrade. Also, I find it very difficult to answer a call using the headphones. Adding physical control buttons including strictly volume controls would make these a 5 star product.

First, I love these. But there are a few draw backs. One is the volume - I use these in work meetings and phone calls in the office or car. I’ve had the volume all the way up and it’s still hard to hear at times. Ultimately I love these things because they’ve never fallen out (mountain biking, gym, etc). They’re comfortable and forget they’re even in sometimes. The battery life is insanely good! The dual BT feature is seamless and a game changer. Case and earpieces quality are perfect.
