Perfect solution for skipping inner ear headphones

So surprised they stay on so well during a run! The sound is excellent and they are much more comfortable than inner ear head phones. My only “issue “ is that I can’t wear my glasses with them but I can still run safely without my glasses.
I work in industrial maintenance and very hot and loud environments. All of my daily task require that I must wear hearing protection, and I had originally looked into OSHA approved ear buds that would also provide sound protection. Then I ran across these. A friend had a pair and let me try them and I truly was impressed with their performance. I had my doubts since I had only know of over the ear or intra ear headphone/buds. My first experience with them were with out hearing protection in a safer quiet environment, but was greatly surprised when I did put form fitted plugs in that they were even louder (even having to turn them down) in the loudest areas of the facility I work in! I was hooked and mentioned them to my wife and she in turn purchased them immediately for me! The lightweight frame and versatility of allowing me to listen while I work and still use hearing pro is hands down the best experience I had of any headset/buds so far! Even in the loudest environments, they are clear and easy to hear while maintaining a minimal appearance and without frustration of wearability. Great product and highly recommend! I don’t forget they are there because I can hear them but often forget they are there if you catch my drift. Easy to use/wear. I don’t have to worry about them falling out (like buds) or losing them. They fit securely and comfortably but are easily absent of distractions. Truly am impressed with the ingenuity and performance of this product.
I mishandled my Aftershokz, so I replaced them with the mini size of the waterproof design. I love these new headphones! I am so glad I got the mini size. I never felt like my old ones fit poorly, but these fit so much better, and they are so light! The sound is excellent, and I can still have a conversation and hear my surroundings while I'm wearing them. I have a little trouble managing the controls (I think I double-press too quickly), and the microphone doesn't seem to work as well as it needs to for phone conversations (people say my voice sounds muffled), but for what I use them for most of the time, they are perfect.
It’s a strange sensation when wearing them. I can hear my music, but I still can hear if my work desk phone rings. The volume doesn’t have to be turned up to still hear the quality sound. The buttons are easy to use. I have small ears and a smaller head so many headphones don’t fit properly. These fit perfectly right out of the box. There aren’t any ways to adjust these, but you’ll see there isn’t a need to adjust. My only minor issue (and it’s not a deal-breaker) is when I wear them continuously for about 5-6 hours, my ears get sore. But I have small ears, and I just take them off and let my ears have a break! I regret all previous ear bud & head phone purchases since these are far superior in sound and cost!
I love the material/teaxture on the product. Because of it's weight I forget its there I understand IF the band around the ear was tight it'd be uncomfortable however wish we could adjust the tightness. I have hearing loss in my left ear and need to press the "bud" close/tight to hear clearly. Over all, functionality is the best for all needs in music, call, etc.
