I cannot speak highly enough

I cannot speak highly enough about our purchase of this product. My wife and I each have a pair and we use them every day. Excellent quality and obviously excellent company and support. We would highly recommend these to anyone. They are simple to operate, easy to to on and use, and the sound quality for both voice and music is amazing. The thing that we did not expect is how you can be sitting "right next to someone" with the volume fairly high........and they can't hear a thing. Bravo Shokz!!!!!! This is a fantastic product that anyone would love!!!
I'm not a running, I bought these so I could hear my surroundings on walks and around the house, maybe cycling at some point. In fairness these are generally very clear, but the sound is very mid-high. Expect the range of a bullhorn without the oppressive horn.
For the spoken word, these are just fine, and you can hear without issue. I wouldn't describe the sound as accurate. No setting of EQ changes the overall sound, it is what it is. Do not buy these for full range audio. Bass is near non-existent. You can feel it more than you hear it, which seems like a waste of battery to me.
I think I'm going to keep them, because they do allow you to hear your surroundings (incredibly well) but the sound 'quality' is lacking, at least for what I am used to.
Bought this pair for work. We have cordless land line phones that have a Bluetooth feature. Since we are always using our hands and holding a phone isn't always convenient, We purchased a pair to try out for productivity and functionality. So far so good!
I wish they could be a little louder as I ride on loud busy streets, but otherwise they are great. A hard case might also be helpful. I also wish I got the shorter band option as I wear them with a hood when riding my bike in the rain and the hood pushes on the headset putting them in a less than optimal place. Overall, I would highly recommend them.
So happy to have a choice besides ear buds which were always falling out of my small ear canals. Will also be great this summer when it is hot not to have anything in my ears on my walks. I like being able to hear environmental sounds and to have a conversation if I meet someone along the way without having to remove buds. Operation and charging are much simpler than with my previous ear buds. Red light to blue is very quick. Excellent solution for better listening while exercise walking.
I think these are pretty awesome especially for race situations super comfortable all day use and I can totally hear what’s going on around me like bike trail sounds such as tire grip loss rider approaching and so on.
