The sound is good for open ear headphones. More bass than most. They are not an over the ear or in ear headphone yet have a great sound and imaging. The volume goes up fairly well if you are in louder environments. For walking, hiking and working out, they work really well and stay put. They feel like they are staying put and set pretty securely in your ears. I haven't done hours of listening however they are really comfortable for the time I use them

Microphone sounds flat and like user is wearing a mask. Audio sound quality is excellent. Very comfortable to wear, but majority use is calls not music for me. Still solid, and might be good for occasional calling. For heavy call use openrun pro or opencomm are still better choices

The fit is great. You can hardly even tell that they are there. Light. Stay in while running. The sound however isn’t the best. I’ve got the OpenRun and absolutely love them. They replaced my Powerbeats pro as my favorite running and everyday headphones. I have to keep adjusting them to get the sound right. The microphone needs work as well. Using these for phone calls, I almost always have to turn off the Bluetooth and use speakerphone. I was super excited about these. They look amazing, I get compliments all the time. I wish the rest were designed a bit better tho

The most awesome earbuds out on the market, clarity is awesome when communicating on the phone. It really shines when your listening to music. Very light on the ears doesn't feel like you have anything on your ears. . cons. It should fit right ontop of the opening on your ears. But overall it's an awesome product.

I'm a female outdoor runner. Over the ear and noise cancelling over the ear headphones didn't feel safe because I need to be aware of my surroundings. I first learned of these from running and fitness Youtuber, Where's Becca At, in one of her videos. I was a little hesitant to purchase at first due to the price. But I decided that my safety and peace of mind are priceless and ordered them. I love them more than I thought I would. I can listen to music or podcasts while I run and can still be fully aware of my surroundings. They also fit snuggly on my ears and stay securely on. I was tired of ear bud headphones too because they would constantly fall out, I'd lose one or both, and I'd have to buy new pairs. Not the case with these. I highly recommend these for women who exercise, like to go for walks, or run outdoors. Until we live in a world where we don't have to, us ladies must be aware of our surroundings.

They do not slip anywhere when I run/workout. I love that I can hear my music and hear when someone approaches me. They drown out most but not all of the background noise so I can still hear vehicles and people approaching if I am outside running. I love them. Couldn’t be happier. My only complaint is my own fault because I have my inner ear pierced and I have to move my earring to get a good connection on that side. But again, that’s my own fault. Just something to consider if you get this model.

I thought I loved the previous SHOKZ headphones I owned - until I purchased these. So versatile and the most comfortable version yet - my husband loved them so much he is ready to “lose” his current headphones so he can get a new pair of these. Also the 2 year warranty is a plus.

These buds fit perfectly around my ear and get in the way of absolutely nothing (i. e. , they don't compete with my glasses and sunglasses for hooking over my ears and they don't press against my daith piercing)! They are incredibly lightweight and the color blends in nicely on my ears. I can wear them and get all the motivation I need throughout the day and still hear people when they talk to me. I can also garden along our busy street side of the house and can hear when people (or dogs) approach me. They are perfect for my needs! Love that they can go in either ear! The sound is great too - clear and crisp. I haven't used them on a call yet though but I'm not concerned as the sounds is great enough with music that I have no doubt calls will be fine too.

Headphones are really comfortable and sound amazing. I can still hear everything around me, and even with both in I get clear audio but loud enough outside noise. The only complaints I have are that, A. You can’t change/skip songs. It’d be great to be able to triple press or long hold and skip the current song. sadly, you can only pause/play and adjust volume. B. The microphone is terrible. If you’re on the phone, there’s no voice isolation, unlike Beats, Bose, or Apple, so the person you’re talking to is going to hear ALL the background noise. Also, the microphone is very odd sounding and almost sounds as if you’re in a bathroom with a slight echo. All in all, if you don’t plan on using them for calls, they’re amazing headphones. If you’re a heavy talker (like I am) I’d look into other options.

These are great! I previously had the Bose Open Ear Ultra Headphones, which are very similar. People say I sound more clear on phone calls with the Shokz. They are also much louder than the Bose, which is really important for me during workouts. As someone with small ears, they are slightly large, but not to the extent that the headphones are uncomfortable to wear. The sound quality could be slightly improved for a more "immersive" feel, and I would like to have more options for the control features. I would also prefer buttons over touch features. Otherwise, I love these! You can wear them with sunglasses with no issues!
