Exactly what I wanted

These are not high-fi headphones. These are perfect for riding my bike 40+miles and enjoying music, podcasts, and audiobooks while still being aware of the environment.
The sound is excellent, and not having something in my ear while running is great. The issue I'm having is that Siri does not hear me through these headphones, and also for some reason none of my usual notifications (WhatsApp, Messages, etc) come through while I'm wearing them. So I like them, but these issues keep me from LOVING them.
Received my headphones a Christmas gift 2. 5 years ago. Started turning themselves on and off at random 2 months ago. A few weeks ago they failed to turn on and no longer accept a charge. I see no physical damage, and the actual battery life still seemed long enough, so I don't know why they would fail. As my family's attempt to get me out of wired headphones, this has done badly.
I’ve used so many other wireless ear buds. Some in ear some over the ear etc, etc! Shokz open runs have to be the best by far! I can power these up and they’ll almost instantly connect to my phone(others have not had the same success) I never lose connection with them mid run either! Which is a big pet peeve for me! Additionally the sound is great too! I just don’t like the vibration from having them turned up to loud. But I suppose that’s an issue with any bone conducting headphones. Superior product and my runs wouldn’t be the same without them!
They are comfortable and stay in place while jogging or biking. However, because they don't actually fit inside the ear, they're just not loud enough. If you are sitting at home in your living room, they're fine. But if you're out on the street jogging--much less biking--it's hard to hear what's playing, especially a book or podcast. I also found the vibration against my skin to be uncomfortable, kind of like fingernails on a chalkboard. And then, after about a month, mine just stopped working. Very disappointed. Still looking for a good solution for earphones to use while jogging and biking.
