I honestly do really like the sound they make. The bass is solid, and the overall sound quality is nice and clear. BUT, the way it's designed only lets the sound come across cleanly if the speaker is aligned right with your ear. In other words if you shift the earbud out of the exact alignment it becomes quiet or not very clear. On top of that, the proper alignment blocks other sounds from your ear which is not ideal. On top of that the touch response is pretty poor and gesture settings are pretty unintuitive tbh. So while the sound quality is nice, they're just not designed or engineered very efficiently or optimally. (They would be better designed if they used the shape of your inner ear to bring the sound into your ear rather than needing it to be directly pointing at your ear hole(idk terminology). That way your ear would be more open to hearing other sounds and the alignment wouldn't need to be perfect for the sound to come across well. (I think Bose's open earbuds have a better engineered design that does that very well, but the sound quality is definitely not as good(a lot less to low key not enough at all bass is my main complaint with them).

Enjoy the sound quality for being an open ear design. Can't wait for the second gen versions. Have the open run pro 2 and they had great improvements in comparison to their predecessors. Like them a lot but hope for more budget friendly prices in the future. Do appreciate the seasonal sales when they come

I am mostly amazed by these. Shokz has really figured out the open-ear concept and I love how these sound! Also, they are extremely comfortable. There have even been a few times I've had them in but not playing music and I've forgotten they were there. I do have one gripe, however. I'd like to be able to skip a song using the tap feature. I recently downloaded a beta firmware update from Shokz that says it allows for the song skip with a triple tap on the bud. Tap for pause and volume work OK, but I have not yet been able to make the triple tap work reliably, even with the sensitivity turned all the way up. I hope I can get the triple tap to work reliably with some more practice. Either that, or they come up with a better way.

These have great sound, better than I expected. They are supper comfortable to wear all day, I have even forgotten i had them on and thought the sound was coming from the ipad device watching a videocast. After a week of having them though I really wish they had physical buttons as 60% of the time they do not respond to touch.

The sound is amazing with these Shokz ear buds. I was looking for a product that did not wrap around my ears and did not get in the way of my bicycle helmet. I listen to audio books while working around the house or biking. I am very happy with this purchase.

I really like shokx products, but these rubbed the inside of my ear raw and made my left one bleed a little bit. They won't stay in place, and yes i followed the directions. To be fair I do have smaller ears. They are fine if im stationary and they really do sound good. I really wanted them for work, unfortunately I can only use when im just relaxing at home. Maybe if you offered 2 sizes like some of your other products

Currently using for calls and podcasts, and the sound is fine. I'm told the microphone picks up well. The battery life is good, they get uncomfortable before they need to be recharged. They are secure, but seem to pick up touch sensors if I try to adjust them, and other times they don't pick up the touch sensors as well, so it feels like I'm smacking my ears. It's been difficult to learn the different touches for controls, but I think I like not having to push a button.

I've never been able to use earbuds/in-ear headphones/air pods because they're all huge and hurt my ears. I had basically given up on the idea because the other options look so douchey to me. These are so cute and don't hurt at all! And they don't get in the way of my earrings or glasses. I'm a bit particular about sound quality for music so I will still mainly use my over-ear headphones for that, but I'm very happy with these for everyday phone/podcast-type use (and music while working out). Fellow tiny-eared humans, you have options!

I have Eustachian tube dysfunction in my right ear and most headphones that go into the ear canal cause too much pressure and will block out the sound. When I was searching for a solution I found Shokz. I'm so glad I bought them! I have never had a more comfortable headphone in my life. I love that I don't have to worry about them falling off and they're so comfy I forget they're on. The sound quality is great. I'm so thankful to have found something to actually hear my music without hurting my ears!

I bought Shokz because I wanted to try something other than my AirPods for running. So far I've been loving it. I was worried they weee going to move around or potentially fall while on a run but they didn't! The best thing I like about it though is my kids can use them as well! They don't fall off my 5 year old's ears! Sp glad I found these while they were on sale.
