Perfect for parents and runners!

Anyone who wants to listen to their podcasts/books while not tuning out background sounds (either for safety or necessity) should strongly consider these. I have been able to wear these more often than my bud-type headphones because my kids don't have to shout and wave their arms to get my attention, and I feel safer running with them so I don't miss nearby cars, bikes, deer, etc. So far I'm really enjoying them. The sound quality is great, they're unobtrusive, comfortable, and have an excellent battery life. Strongly recommend.

Love but….
on April 10, 2022
Posted by: Holli H.
I purchased these in October 2019. 11 months later something broke inside one of the headphone areas. Shokz was awesome and replaced them under warranty! Now i have the new pair and about 2 months ago they just started kicking me off of Bluetooth and turning themselves off. No longer under warranty. I want to replace them with the pro, but am terrified I’ll spend that much money only to have them break again. I own the titanium (which they no longer sell) and have had zero problems with them after 4 years. I wouldn’t recommend the Aeropex unless they’ve ironed out the bugs.

Great sound, quick charging and I use it at the office for conference calls, and of course, while working out, walking, etc. It's the perfect device that doesn't bother my ears when listening to music or taking a call.

Light and comfortable!
on April 10, 2022
Posted by: Elizabeth H.
I have trouble with headaches while using on-ear headphones (due to the pressure and weight), and I bought these hoping that I would be able to find an option that wouldn’t cause me pain. They are extremely light and comfortable, and as of yet I have been headache free while wearing them! The sound quality is not quite as good my previous on-ear headphones, but it is plenty good enough to keep me happy.

Pretty darn good - even for work
on April 9, 2022
Posted by: Steven D.
These headphones are good - glad I bought them at the recommendation of a friend. In full disclosure, I don't really use them for their intended purpose (running). I needed to replace my headset for video conferences at work and wanted something small/discreet, lightweight, and with a decent battery life...these fit the bill.
Pros:
- battery life - I'm on MS Teams calls all day long (6-7 hours/day) and these can make it through on a fresh charge. If I do have to charge during the day, they top up pretty quickly (seems to be less than 30 minutes for a full charge)
- very lightweight and comfortable to wear*
- the mic seems to work well according to my coworkers & clients
- discreet - small enough to be barely noticeable on video calls
- neat little feature is the voice that tells you "charge me" when the battery gets very low (but it can startle you the first time the voice randomly speaks to you without prompting)
- relatively easy Bluetooth pairing** and controls

Cons:
- *comfortable...to a point, that is. Not sure that they were intended for my extended usage but they do feel like they're pinching right in front of your ear after several hours. I end up feeling a fatigue similar to clenching your jaw too hard or for too long and wonder if that's the fit or a side effect of the bone conduction
- **only pairs with one device at a time so you have to go through full pairing process again if, for example, you want to switch from your laptop to your phone
- might be unique to my use case but these get in the way of using the headrest on my office chair. The loop between earpieces lays right where your head meets the headrest...can be pushed down but that moves the earpieces and reduces sound quality since it's not "bone conducting" properly (if that makes sense)
- sound quality is "meh" to me (I typically use Pixel Buds II with my phone which has much better bass & depth of sound). That being said, my wife (AirPods user) tried these out and thought the sound quality was pretty good...

Overall, happy with my purchase and they make my workday more comfortable. 4 out of 5 stars, would buy again. Maybe one day I'll actually use them for running!

I didn't even know that I wanted headphones until my husband got these for me to run in. I LOVE them! Not only do I wear them to run but I also wear them around the house while doing housework or talking on the phone. I wish I had gotten them sooner.
