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.

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.

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.

I love these things, use them for every run and I enjoy it. They are easy to pair and don't move too much even when I'm sweaty. The sound is better than past versions of Shokz I've used. Two things I wish I could fix, one is they disconnect from my iPhone occasionally or think they aren't in my ears, not sure what the issue is. It causes me to have to press play on my phone or reconnect when I'm on a phone call. The other is the controls, I wish there was a way to enable volume up/down and skip song at the same time. You have to choose between the two, which kinda sucks because they go hand in hand. The tap to pause works well but I don't think it's needed on both headphones. All around good headphones with a few minor nit picks.

Trying to carry on a phone conversation isn't great. The person on the other end says they can't hear me. Also when trying to use the microphone speak function on the iPhone to dictate texts and such doesn't work well. It only seems to pick up bits and pieces of what I say

Got them just in time for vacation. Did great on the plane I was able to hear my music. Very comfortable for a three hour flight and the whole entire day. I have already convinced several people to buy them for themselves after only having them for two weeks.

These are great sound-wise. They are stable and do not fall off my ears even during workouts. Call quality is amazing. The person on the other end can hear me very well. Only 2 things: Controls can be tricky to use. Squeezing the battery chamber does not seem to work when they are wet with sweat or rain. They can be a little uncomfortable before you get them adjusted well. Otherwise, phenomenal with great battery life.

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.

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

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.
