Sound is low quality. Anything above half volumn causes vibrations in the headphones.

I love that these are not in your ears. But there is not much volumn available. I would wear these while walking outside to hear cars, but would prefer my over the ear noise cancelling headphones for quality sound. I'll try these out for a few more weeks, but may return them as the price was high for what they are being used for.
So far I’m enjoying these Shokz Mini headphones. But I’m curious why aren’t they compatible with the Shokz app. I’d like to know if there’s a way to know how do you know when your battery is running low. It’s like my Apple iPods. If I open the case it pops up on my iPhone showing me what the battery life is.
This model works well and rides well. I bought it because of the waterproof features. My last set stopped working in the right ear due to sweating while working, so I chose the waterproof model.
I did not know the trade off for waterproofing was: less transmission of high tones in music and less sensitivity of the microphone when on a call. The unique charging cable was also a surprise- as I was used to a standard cable. Will need to be careful not to lose it.
Overall, I still like the bone conducive approach and will continue to use them. I would think twice before buying this model because of the trade offs for water proofing.
Unfortunately they continuously slide around and even “fall off” to the point I have a hard time hearing the music. I may need to try the smaller version. However when they are in the correct spot, the music/volume is perfect and I can still hear all other external elements. I’ll have to see what size works best.
