Love them!

Love them! They are exactly as they describe. My favorite part is that nothing is in my ear. So no more ear discomfort or lack of hearing. Now are they super loud or have a ton of bass, no. They do sound good and still allow you to be able to hear your surroundings as well. They also aren’t heavy by any means. I have been wearing them the last 4 days for 10-14 hours a day working. I did take them off for lunch (about 30 mins to an hour) and they never got really uncomfortable. So I definitely recommend if your active and wanting a good set to wear when having to interact as well.
I really like these headphones, however when I wore them for my first run, I could barely hear my music. I was not in a loud environment at all and the music was as loud as it could be, but I could barely make out what song was playing. wish they were louder :(
I was really excited for these headphones since my chronis ear infections cause issues with in ear headphones. Unfortunately, you can hear the music if you stand within a few feet of the person wearing it. Also the skip and go back features only work with specific streaming apps. These are the first headphones where I ran into this issue with not being able to use the skip feature. Customer service confirmed that it's only for certain streaming apps.
Was skeptical about it, but I Love it, no other way to say it.. I’m hooked..they are so comfortable I forget that I have them on. Definitely works for me, so convenient. Easy to operate. Sounds great and still able to listen to my surroundings.
As a trucker it is important to be able to hear all things around me and keep my hand free to operate my vehicle. I first saw Shokz at a bike shop where I was impressed by the sound quality in store. I got the regular as a Christmas gift but switched to the mini after. The regular size would get pushed up by my collar and did not allow me to put my head in a normal position while seated in my truck. The mini's do not stick out so much away from the head making it easier and more comfortable to wear. The sound quality is normally good. Every once-in-a-while the quality is not great, possibly due to the GPS in the truck picking up the call and it getting transferred back and forth between the devices for some reason.
Pros... Comfortable to wear Don't block my ears so I can hear surroundings They don't fall off Has actual buttons that can be felt so no hanging up calls by accident.
Cons... Cannot hear well when speaking to people-volume doesn't go loud enough. Everytime the phone dings, instead of hearing the actual sound, it buzzes on your skin. It's quite annoying. Keeps cutting in and out when using my computer Does not last 10 hours as advertised after 2nd charge.
I really wish the Bluetooth worked better, battery lasted longer and there were ways to adjust the sounds better so I can hear who I am speaking with. This is crucial to my classes.
My wife loves them. I’ve had mine for almost a year and I use them everyday, in many situations. Battery life if fantastic. People @ work are getting them now too.
