Too big.
on October 27, 2025
Posted by: Heather S.
They are too big around the back of my head. I wish they were more snug so I can put them under my hair, or a beanie hat, or wear them while lying down to exercise or stretch. They easily get out of position which compromises the sound quality.

I like them
on October 27, 2025
Posted by: Michelle H.
I like how these don't have to go into my ears. The sound is good and easy to control with my phone—you can also adjust with volume on the Shokz. I wish the strap behind my head was adjustable to fit me better. I thought it was a little tricky to connect—every time I use them, I have to go in through my settings to reconnect. There might be an easier way that I haven't discovered. It would also be nice if the buttons were a different color than the body of the unit so I could see them without putting on my reading glasses; that makes them a little less user friendly if you're over the age of 40 and need readers.

Quality slide for the worse not better
on October 27, 2025
Posted by: Margaret B.
I have purchased Shokz headphones before and was excited about replacing my 2019 headset with the newer model, but was very disappointed in the sound quality of the new ones. If I am just using them for listen to music, they are great, but using them for answering and calling people they were very poorly functional. The sound was horrible. Trying to find the button to answer a call was frustrating.

Great headphones! worth the money
on October 29, 2025

These headphones are fantastic - providing excellent sound quality while allowing you to maintain situational awareness while out and about. The design keeps the "noise" out of your ear - but you still hear it crystal clear!
I chose this pair because the controls are buttons which are much more moisture "friendly" than the touch sensors on the other styles.
The magnetic charger is also moisture "friendly" allowing me to run in the rain or sweat freely! I just wipe them off after a run and immediately charge them if needed. (No need to wait for them to fully dry before charging)
The battery life is awesome, and the headphones let you know the battery status when turning them on. On my previous pair- when the battery status hit medium - I got about 30-minutes of operation time before they died. I haven't gotten to that point on this pair (I am on my 4th hour of operation time-and still have a full charge) but am assuming it will be similar.

I like them a lot but…

If you want to change songs while running they are finicky, mine always pauses the song instead of skipping, even when I double click very carefully. Also if you accidentally click it extra when it doesn’t work, it’ll call people from your phone…

LOVE These Things!!!
on October 29, 2025
Posted by: Carrie S.
I wasn't sure I'd like these, as I am a musician and want to hear my music the way I want to hear it while I'm running, but I found that using in-ears for longer runs was uncomfortable in my canals and probably harmful long-term. These are surprisingly great-sounding with lots of clarity in the middle to high ranges. The low end is lost a little more, but I was rather expecting that. It's an acceptable loss in my book for the improvement in comfort and ease, to say nothing of how much safer they are. The only other (tiny) qualm is that it can be hard to hear the turning off prompt when you're at the finish line of a race surrounded by people and music; a visual cue of a small light being on when the unit is on or something like that would be great, though I understand it may affect the battery life. I know I can check my Bluetooth on my phone, but post-race all the things are happening, and I have multiple things connected, so this would just be a bit of an added convenience.

I like it because I
on October 29, 2025
Posted by: SUSAN A.
I like it because I used it in the office & I’m aware of my surroundings can still do my job efficiently.
Sounds is good but if it’s windy it effect the volume sometimes disappears, I can’t hear the music while I’m walking.

The sound is very weak, hard to hear

This is my second pair of shokz and for some reason this pair does not seem to get as loud as my previous pair. I mainly use them outdoors for running and it’s very hard to hear the music
