I haven’t used any bone-conducting headphones before, so this is not a comparison, I don’t know how they rate next to other similar products or others in the Shokz range.My verdict: I recommend these headphones. I am glad I got mine.Pros:• Overall good quality, and accurate to the product description.• Decent audio quality (surprisingly). Feels like you’ve got background music for your life.• If you don’t have sensitive ears, they’re pretty unnoticeable.• They come with a protective carry pouch, and stickers for customisation.• Great for calls or music when you need to use earplugs (or any similar in-ear loud noise relief), or when you need to pay attention to your surroundings.Cons:• The jump between volume notches is massive (a common problem in Bluetooth audio devices).• It’s hard to hear at max volume in noisy environments (though earplugs mitigate this).• By contrast, the built-in voice/beep is startling & loud.• If you have sensitive ears, the way they sit behind your ear + on your face gets uncomfortable over time.My thoughts:I worried that these were just an overpriced speaker that sits outside your ear, but they’re not like that. It’s genuinely hard to hear unless it is on you, and when it is on you, it’s surprisingly clear. Bone conduction is pretty cool!It sounds like having background music akin to a movie or game, where it’s there but you can still very clearly hear everything else around you. Really great for anyone who wants music but needs to remain social/pay attention/listen for potential danger in their surroundings.They greet you when you turn them on/pair them/turn them off, and beep when you press any of the buttons. These built-in sounds are REALLY loud compared to my music, oof. I pull them away from my ears a bit before I press buttons. They also suffer from the sadly common Bluetooth audio device problem where the volume jump between notches is massive, and in some situations it can be either too high or too low. Even at max volume, because it’s just vibrating sound against your face, it’s really hard to hear in noisy places like shopping centres or heavy traffic.However, you can mitigate that using earplugs or similar. I went to a store yesterday and wore these with my Loops Engage (HIGHLY recommend for people with audio processing issues), and it was amazing; the Loops dulled the noisy background environment, and I could hear my music clearly AND converse with my wife without issue. It was an experience that I just cannot get with other earphones or headphones.They don’t slip, slide, or fall. The band at the back can’t be adjusted – for everyday use they sit well, but they’re a little annoying if you’re looking up/down a lot, and difficult to keep in place if you’re lying down or using a head rest. For people with smaller heads, you’ll probably want the (more expensive) version with the smaller band. They’re light enough, and if you don’t have sensitive ears, you can just set-and-forget them.People who use eating aids or similar things that need to loop over behind your ears will find them obstructive at best, incompatible at worst. They’re fine for anything else though, like glasses, hats, and masks.I have quite sensitive ears and can’t wear earbuds, headphones, masks with ear loops, etc. for more than a couple of hours some days. Some things I noticed: – By design (so they don’t fall off), the buds put a gentle pressure on the parts of your head that they’re resting on. It’s not immediately noticeable, but when you wear them for a while it feels like a lot. – They’re designed for wear with glasses/masks/etc., but keep in mind that anything that touches them puts pressure on them, which means more pressure on your ear/face. – The placement of the main body right behind the ear gets uncomfortable in a similar way to masks with thick/tight ear loops. I find that I’m adjusting it constantly. – However, wearing masks with these is WAY more tolerable than wearing masks with over-ear headphones. – Being out-of-ear is really great for the parts of my head/ears that get super painful with regular earphones or headphones! My ears also don’t get hot at all.I haven’t had enough time with the call/mic features to really comment but they seem decent to me. The mic pics my voice up and as long as I’m in an area where I can hear the Shokz well enough, I can hear the other person well enough. I may update this review if this changes.
Good set of Bone Conduction Headphones. First off, these are bone-conduction headphones. They are not “noise canceling.” Some people just don’t seem to get that.I work at a metal fabrication facility and these type of headhpones have been OK’d for use on the production floor precisely BECAUSE they allow us to hear what’s going on around us as well as putting in hearing protection and still have the headphones functional. I’ve tried other bone conduction headphones and they struggled with the noisy surrounding environment to the point I couldn’t use them because they didn’t have sufficient volume. These headphones are able to function despite multiple welders, steel being hammered and dropped, etc. In short, they still allow me to hear despite a very noisy environment.What I listen to most are “Spoken Word” items such as podcasts and audiobooks and streaming talk radio. I do not use these primarily to listen to music so cannot comment from experience on the sound quality for listening to music. My guess is that they would be “functional.” They would work and you can listen to music while doing other things. But if you need to hear what the “3rd violin is playing”…maybe bone-conduction isn’t the best way to go.PROS–Volume. They do have the capacity to overcome a noisy environment and still allow me to hear what is being said as well as allowing me to hear when others are talking to me without having to move/adjust the headphones.–Lightweight. These things are comfortable. Not as heavy as other bone conduction headphones I’ve used.–Secure. They stay in place really well. While certain head positions will cause them to slightly move I have had other bone conduction headphones that if I look up actually fell off. These do not do that.–Comfortable. These things are really comfortable to wear. I use them at work for most of my 8-10 hour work day and they have not caused me any discomfort whether due to getting sweaty spots where they set on my jaw/ear area, or just irritating the way other headphones (both bone conduction and non-bone conduction) have in the past.–Non-noise cancelling. This may seem like an odd “pro” but for me it is. I have a set of Beats noise-cancelling headphones for when that is useful. But most of the time I would rather have some of my hearing faculties. Even nonactive noise cancelling over-the-ear/on-the-ear headphones do have some noise canceling which I sometimes don’t want.CONS–Limited Bluetooth Range. I have had other bluetooth headphones (non-bone conduction) that had much better range. I could leave my phone on a charger and move all around the house with no loss of connection. These are somewhat more limited. However, if I have my phone with me or within a room or two I generally have little/no trouble.–Vibrations. As I said above, I sometimes need to use these at close to maximum volume. When I do this I can sometimes “feel” the vibration as a buzzing that will “tickle” my jaw/ear area. My guess is that this is not really a “flaw” but, rather, a function of it needs to vibrate fairly intensely to create the kind of volume I’m asking for. In normal use in the house or in my office I usually do not need the volume NEARLY high enough to cause this sensation.CONCLUSIONWhile there are undoubtedly bone conduction headphones that are superior to this I consider these to be really solid “entry-level” headphones. I can vouch that they can handle an environment that requires hearing protection if in the environment for long periods of time. I don’t see why they wouldn’t work really well in a non-noisy work/home environment or working out in the gym. I would highly recommend these. I got them on Prime Days for ~$50-60. Their normal Amazon price is $70-80. If these broke I would seriously consider paying $70-80 to replace them.
Son unos auriculares caros (en comparación a otros), pero valen cada euro. El tacto es muy suave y cómodo, hasta diría que agradable (sobre todo en comparación con la competencia). Me ha sorprendido y gustado que los cabezales de los auriculares estén magnetizados y se peguen entre sí, lo cual reduce que al tenerlos en una mesita u otra ubicación se enganchen con otras cosas, pero quizá debería advertirse por si alguien no puede tener cerca componentes magnéticos de este tipo. El cable de carga es USB-c y el puerto está protegido del polvo y el agua por una tapita de goma muy práctica.En algunos comentarios dicen que la diadema es molesta en la parte de atrás para usarlos tumbado (por ejemplo, para escuchar música en el sofá sin molestar), pero a mí no me ha supuesto mayor problema, simplemente hay que moverlos a una posición cómoda y ajustar el volumen en consecuencia.En cuanto a la batería, tiene una gran duración y se carga por completo en cerca de una hora. La verdad, no sé cuánto dura, pero lo he usado hasta 4-5 horas seguidas escuchando música y 8 horas en espera y todavía se mostraba en el teléfono que la batería estaba a más de la mitad. Tan solo le reprocharía que si te olvidas de apagarlo, queda encendido y en espera todo el tiempo, incluso aunque te marches de casa, por lo que sigue gastando batería (aunque sea muy poca). Otros dispositivos se apagan al cabo de un rato desde que se desemparejan por ese motivo.
Way beyond expectations. After reading great reviews, I decided to give these unusual earbuds. a try. I admit that I’m an avid headset buyer. I’ve spent way too much time and money trying to find the “perfect” headset or buds for my biking, noise cancellation, hiking, swimming, audiobook listening, and dog walking. So I have plenty of experience with just about every brand of earbuds or headsets, in every price range for decades. OK that said, here’s what’s GREAT about these earphones:1. Since they’re not inside the ear…unless you want them to be… they’re very comfortable to wear.2. They turn on and sync very quickly3. They tell you battery power by touching the +- buttons4. You can call out by holding the Multi-use button down for a couple of seconds (not explained in the instructions.) And answer calls with just a touch to the same place.5. They’re lightweight and click together magnetically when off of the ears. So you can wear them around your neck comfortably and safely while not using them.6. While driving or walking/running you can still hear sirens and other important sounds (like hubby requesting a beer, please.) And do that without any loss of sound or clarity from the buds.7. They charge quickly and last MUCH longer than promised in the descriptions.8. They are wearable while napping or sleeping, if you just move one of the earpieces up and away from your ear. Very nice for listening to audible books or podcasts while lying down.9. Very good sound for music and the spoken word and the mic works great. Not sure why others didn’t think so.10. No cords to get tangled up in or that can fall off your neck.11. They’re offered at a very fair and reasonable price12. And one more benefit for those who have snoring sleeping partners, you can wear wax earplugs to drown out the snores, but still hear whatever you’re listing to on the buds. That’s because the sound is transported through you bones, not your ears. Very cool!!! At least for me.The Cons: (none a big deal to me.)- They’re not noise canceling. Well duh! They don’t cover the ear. So I wear over-the-head phones when in the gym.- While a very good sound range, these are not the best earphones for really rich, base music. But Little Richard’s “Tootie Fruity” sounds pretty good.
Good sound with no ear fatigue. I will start by stating that these headphones in no way deliver the same quality as in the ear or over ear headphones, whether they be wired or bluetooth. Especially if you are picky about sound quality and whatnot.However, being someone that works in a loud environment and has to use earplugs, these are a fantastic solution to being able to hear my phone while protecting my ears. The earplug and headphone combo actually helps out the sound quality of the headphones to me by blocking other sounds that overshadow the headphones and improve sound clarity. I’m mostly using it so I can hear when my phone gives me notifications, but when I do listen to music at my work, these work very well.They are also comfy enough that when I do remove my earplugs for my break/lunch/etc, I just leave them on and I still use it while I surf the web or use Youtube. There are also times when I use them outside of work. They work great by giving me the chance to listen to music/notifications while still being situationally aware, like at the grocery store or doing house chores.Best of all, no ear canal fatigue you would normally get from using in the ear buds. I have a couple of older folks that I recommended this product since they hate using regular earbuds due to ear fatigue/pain.No complaints about battery life or functionality. They haven’t died on me when I’ve used them (I charge them when I feel like it) and the function button on the left side does just enough for me.
