Bone conduction leaves my ears open to the world. While I cannot use these for noise cancellation, I can wear them all day and conveniently start/pause and answer a phone call with one button. I am listening to so many more books because of these earphones.
Got as a birthday gift for my impossible-to-shop-for husband. He loves them. Loves the sound clarity and the ability to hear his surroundings while running.
Great design and concept but max volume isn’t enough

Love the design the concept, and the price isn’t bad considering the technology, but they just aren’t loud enough for me. There is even a volume boost feature that isn’t even noticeable. I returned them after a week. It was just too frustrating not being able to hear the music with all the noise around.
First bone conduction headphones and won’t be the last. I’ve been using in ears, currently Pro 2, since they’ve been available, for everything including workouts and yard work (for noise suppression). Having recently experienced a condition caused by in ears and heavy sweating, I had to move to something different. Tried Beats, forgot how heavy they were (though they sound great). Then saw the Shocks. Decided to try the newest Pro2. They arrived quickly, fit perfectly (regular), and sound phenomenal. I was really surprised how well they recreated bass. Not Beat levels, but not closed ear cups or in ear either. I would certainly buy these again - in fact bought a second pair for the wife within a few days of receiving these. She loves them as well!
Just started with this set and only use for meetings at this point. Still getting used to the piece around my neck but would truly see the value if I was using it for sports.
