Comfortable but sound levels not so great

Gave them a go for close to 2 weeks, I will say the newest version is lighter and more comfortable than the last version. But the sound levels are not as good - at least in my opinion.
Other than while mowing the lawn, these sound pretty good. Still lacking a little in the bass/treble areas, but you can't really expect great response in those areas with this type of headset. Sounds way better than the OpenRun model I had previously though. I wish I could connect to 2 bluetooth devices like with some of my other headphones. I use these mostly for my days in the office and can listen to my music and take calls (others say the noise filtering works pretty well and they can hear me clearly). Overall, I'd say they are a little expensive for what you're getting, but they do work well and maybe the technology is just more expensive. I'd say I'm happy with them overall, just wish I felt like the "bone conducting" feature worked a little better. When I turn up the volume, people close to me can hear what I'm listening to - which is kind of what I was trying to avoid with this purchase...
Love them! The sound quality is great!! I wear glasses and these fit nicely with them. I wear them all day and don't notice that I have them on! I highly recommend these!!
I have four other pairs of Shokz for various purposes so I’m clearly a fan. This pair was touted as having better sound, which I translated as being louder. On that criteria, I can’t tell the difference. Otherwise they have some upgrades that I enjoy.
This is the 4th pair of Shokz I have had and they are the best. No more vibration on the temples when you crank up the volume. Super comfortable and you don't have to worry about them hurting your ears. And best of all, they don't fall out!
No more buzzing like Shokz Pro at high volume. Equalizer feature on App is a plus. The rubber cover for the charging port hopefully will last since it has to be opened and closed multiple times for the USB C charger.
These are my fourth pair! I put them on first thing in the morning and take them off at bedtime! I listen to Podcasts, audiobooks and some music. They are perfect for walking the dog, working in my garden, running and even riding my bicycle. I have total awareness of my surroundings while enjoying listening. Never been startled or surprised!
