Good for what they are

Overall, I was not impressed with these. Sound quality isn't great, if volume is medium to higher you can feel vibrations. They are a bit more comfortable than earbuds over long periods of time. Most importantly they interfered slightly with my glass frames and I am not willing to replace those as they cost more than these devices.
2nd time I've upgraded (owned 3 generations). Fit, finish, and function all are fantastic. BUT, I still cannot hear the audio when there is wind or very loud traffic on my bicycle. The wind rushing by my ear completely erases the audio. I crank my iPhone to max volume and still cannot hear the audio when it is windy outside or lots of truck roll by. SHOKZ can do better with this design!
As I get accustomed to my new headphones, the first benefit I've noticed is the improved safety and ability to communicate compared to my prior in-ear buds. I believe over time they will only get lighter, but it isn't currently an issue. I look forward to longer runs and bike rides to test the battery life and long term comfort.
Volume is horrible. The app doesn't help with its suggestions because they do nothing. Don't feel the bone conduction so not sure what people are talking about. The good thing is it doesn't cover the ear but the volume so low it doesn't matter.
I put my Shokz through a lot on a daily basis. They stand up to whatever I do. I sweat heavily most days. As a long distance runner, I love listening to music while I run. Because of the design, I can still hear friends talking and also hear cars coming. I can easily turn down the volume and answer calls easily from my Shokz. It is so convenient that I can't be without my Shokz!
I use them for mainly tv and music at home. The ones you put in your ear always start hurting during long uses. I have used the original set and just bought the 2nd version and it seems to have better sound. It takes a bit of getting used to but works well.
