I bought the mini version and these headphones have changed my life! As someone who can never find in-ear headphones that fit comfortably and stay put, these are an incredible benefit. I also love being able to still hear environmental sounds whilst listening to music/taking a call. Sometimes, when the volume is too loud, or particularly when on a call as opposed to music, the ear pieces vibrate a bit much, and it is a weird feeling. That being said, reducing the volume helps stop the vibrations, and you get used to the minimal vibrations during normal play. I've gone running and done HIIT/yoga workouts with these headphones and they're extremely comfortable and stay in place, even during rigorous jumping around. They also easily connect between devices. I use these headphones during the work day, all day, and they last for about 10 hours of continuous play. A quick 30 mins charge gets them back up to high battery. Hugely recommend for anyone who doesn't like the feeling of being in a vacuum with in-ear headphones.
These are for maintaining situational awareness. When I use them I do not lose the ability to hear what's going on around me. The only thing that I find bothersome is a bit of pain on the right side. I'm not sure if it's because of the vibration against my head (tragus?), but it's not enough of a drawback to make me stop wearing them.
I previously got the Aeromexico aftershokz, which I absolutely loved. These are ok, but there is a lot more vibration sound, which I hate. Battery life not as good either. Fit me better
After middle ear surgery, I lost hearing on left year. Every since I got my first pair of shokz several years ago, it became my life changer. I started being able to listen to music in stereo. I very much appreciate it! Thank you folks who innovated this product.
I love these! I’ve always hated feeling like my ears were plugged while running, and these solve that problem. Sound quality is better than expected. The mini size is great— it could even be a little smaller so it doesn’t get in the way of my ponytail or get pushed when I’m doing floor exercises on my back. Make the mini in other colors please!
Annoying beeping sounds, inaudible outdoors, and uncomfortable wearing for long runs

I purchased AfterShockz with high hopes of using the bone conduction technology but the first disappointment came when I tried using the headset outdoors - on a call, I could not hear the other person AT ALL and neither could they! The second disappointment was when the headset decided to start beeping after connecting to my Mac - the annoying beep led me to just not use the headset and I remembered how annoying this was when I asked a friend to try this. He was put off by the beeping sound experience and decided to not go with AfterShockz after this experience. This is unacceptable from a headset at this pricepoint - very very disappointed.
