I owned the original for 4+years but they stopped charging properly. So I upgraded. The mini fits a little more snug. The sound is really good. They have better base. Sometimes, the vocals do not match the previous for phone calls. It could be a setting. These have more settings to change. Music & podcasts are better sounding.
Love the Mini fitment. Coats, shirt collars or laying back on furniture wont impede use. I like the adjustments with the app. My (very) old one has more volume, but not EQ adjustable.
I owned an earlier version of Shokz, using them during countless runs and workouts. However, after reading a review of the updated headphones, I decided to get them. I’m very glad I did! The phones charge quickly and hold a charge much longer. They are also very comfortable and are easy to use. The app is nicely integrated with the Shokz and allows a custom sound adjustment. Finally, the sound quality is much improved and very dimensional. Highly recommended!
In a quiet or fairly quiet environment they sounds great. In a room such as a gym with many other treadmills going, fans going and additional environmental noise it is very difficult to hear my music. I actually ended up just turning them off because I couldn’t hear them. And because I wear headbands to keep my glasses from bouncing and sweat out of my eyes the fit is somewhat comfortable. Overall I would not purchase again.
