The shokz headphones are my favorite by far of all the headphones I own. The earbuds are just so uncomfortable sitting in my ear canal. These are so much better
I love the fit and the sound, it’s great and leaves my ears open for other safety concerns. However, therein lies the problem i come across. I like to use headsets while i do yard work, and the open ear, obviously, isn’t the greatest for that, you can put in ear plugs and it helps but not always enough. The real reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is the battery life. I find mine to be in pretty constant need of charging after a use or two. other than that, great it charges fast, sounds good and worth it
The sound is terrific, especially for runners who (for safety) want to hear surrounding traffic sounds. The fit is tricky, though. Even the mini is loose on my head, even though according to the product description for my head measurements I should have ordered the regular size. Makes wearing a skull cap or ear wrap more of a challenge and slightly uncomfortable, but not enough to detract from how good the sound is.
One major improvement, one degradation in convenience charging.

I understand why the USB-C connector to charge, but I greatly preferred the magnetic connector on your previous units. You did finally fix the delay on wake from sleep bug.
