Are they as good as earbuds… that depends. Overall, the sound is very good… not as good as in-the-ear buds, but at lower volumes and around the house, for most types of music they are great… a little muffled at times, but very good. Mowing the lawn… also pretty good. Balancing sound coming in from the environment vs the music takes a little doing and you end up blocking out a lot of the environment, but not as much as with traditional buds. Speech isn’t quite as good but it can be enhanced a tiny bit with an app setting. It’s good enough for phone calls and podcasts. The big difference is that these things stay PUT no matter what you’re doing – they don’t slip out, they aren’t affected by sweat, jarring… nothing and that is why I bought them. I got so sick of constantly trying to cram buds back in my sweaty ears as they slowly (or quickly) slide out. These things just stay on. BTW, the sizing is dead on – super glad I went for the smaller size, because the loop behind my head doesn’t get hit or pushed around. They are also comfortable – I’ve worn them for hours at a time – and the battery life is better than my Samsung buds. At higher volumes, they vibrate your skin in a tickly/buzzy way, but given what they are, that’s expected. I haven’t felt the need to turn them up THAT high anyway as the volume is sufficient for things like mowing the lawn and vacuuming where I’m intentionally trying to drown out the machine. Zero regret purchase. Oh, and I saw some complaints on the charging system in other reviews, but I LIKE their proprietary, magnetic system. I just super don’t care if I have to carry another cord… I’m already carrying, like, three of them anyway for my watch, phone, and whatever, so what’s one more?

I cycle and run. Sometimes on longer rides I would like a little, something. Music, talk, a distraction. Pros- battery life is great. I have used these out on jobs while I work. Have run them all day long, 8-10 hours on a lower volume setting and they worked all day. They fit great and are very easy to use once you remember the buttons so you can reach up and adjust them. I have used them while walking through a store and chatting on the phone. Have not had any complaints about people not being able to hear me. Out on bike rides they are good. From zero mph to around 20mph you can hear them. This also depends on the wind, meaning not the wind from you riding but Mother Nature. Above 20mph they get difficult to hear. If you’re listening to a playlist you know then you can pick out parts and know what you’re listening to. I tried listening to a podcast and above 20mph I had no idea what they were talking about. Running, they stay in place, don’t bounce around. They come with a headband but I have never used it. There are no issues with hearing anything while running. I also like these because it doesn’t block you ear canal and I can clearly hear my bike computer yelling at me when my bike radar detects a car coming from behind. I can hear the car approaching as well. You can have a conversation with people while using them but I tend to block out their voice and concentrate on the music. I do have to turn the volume down so I don’t get distracted from the conversation. Value for the money, well, they are pricey but compared to say, iPods or similar good quality ear pieces I think these are on par with other brands. I cannot speak on durability as I intentionally do not abuse them, throw, drop, kick, sling them in any way. For what I do they have held up well. If you ride, run or walk I would recommend looking into the these.

I’ve used these for running for several months now and I just love them. I was not sure what to expect but I could not ask for more!
~ This stays on my head no matter what. No matter how long I’ve been running, no matter how sweaty I get in even in the very hot weather.
~ I definitely feel safer because this sits in front of your ear and does not block your ears so I can hear what is happening around me while still privately enjoying my music.
~ Very comfortable. Does not squeeze my head nor move around at all. Don’t even feel them. Perfect!
~ Reliably and easily connects with my phone every time. I then use Spotify for my music but of course you could use whatever.
~ I don’t have anything annoying stuck in my ear like with ear pods. The sound is excellent. Some have commented on that the volume was too low. That’s not been my experience at all. It has a very good volume range with the volume button and using my iPhone.
~ It comes with a hard protective case. Great for traveling with it!
** I did purchase a lower model (Shokz AfterShokz OpenMove) at the same time… it did not feel as secure on my head and the sound was not quite as good. As well the lower model did not have a hard protective case. So of course I had to go with the more expensive one! How does that always happen?! Haha

Bought these for my dad for Father’s Day. He has been using these everyday. He says they are comfortable and use them while going on walks. He likes the ability to hear the surrounding and easy to answer phone calls.

Just me –
I like earbuds for their low cost and good sound quality. I decided to try these at the suggestion of a coworker. I work in the front office of a manufacturing facility. These headphones do well in the office for what I call “elevator music mode,” it’s low but just always there and I can hear things around me. I think they do well for multiple styles of music from classical to heavy metal and rap. The bass is better than I thought it would be and, surprisingly, I have noticed vocals are easier to understand than with earbuds I have tried.
Here’s a use case I discovered that the manufacturer might not have considered: these headphones work extremely well with ear plugs. When I go on the manufacturing floor I can hear my music clearly while wearing my earplugs. The tone isn’t quite right compared to a stereo or ear buds, but it’s still darn good. And the safety man can’t grumble at me for not wearing PPE.
There’s a downside to wearing these with earplugs. Usually you can hear things around you even with earplugs, but with music on top of that you can’t hear anything. So be careful. I suppose it’s good if you stay in one area on the assembly line, but they do make walking around a bit more tricky.
The good thing about wearing earplugs is the volume doesn’t have to be turned up very much for the music to sound loud. I’ve frequently had battery life exceed 10 hours since I rarely play music over 50% volume during the day.
They’re also very convenient for phone calls. No one has had trouble hearing me on the phone, and I can do other stuff while talking. These headphones beat any other earpiece I’ve ever had.
One last thought, range is very good. I can get around 50 feet from my phone while listening to music in free air (no obstructions… walls, etc). They will maintain a connection for a good distance beyond what is capable of audio transmission and resume playing when coming back into range. Oh, and they are comfortable. I wear them all day, even when they are not playing, with no problems.
The price is a bit high, but I’d replace them with an identical set without any thought (I mean, assuming I have the money).

My main purpose was to avoid ear infection from inside the ear phones and yes it was just perfect for me. The bone conduction not only did that, I feel more safe walking on roads when hear the crazy traffic zooming past you. Good for office calls, can hear your environment and the meeting. And yes,it will not sound like a closed earphone, but have to see your purpose and need.
