I was skeptical about the bone conduction angle but it works like a charm. Unfortunately, the loops that go around the back of the ear are uncomfortable. I purchased the mini because I have a small head. Perhaps the regular size would be comfortable. I emailed the company about an exchange and haven’t heard back.
I wasn't sure how the sound quality or phone call capabilities would be. I am very impressed with both. My music sounds amazing, and my phone calls are clear. I highly recommend Shokz!
I have bought 6 of you're shokz headphones within the last 8 years for my wife and my self and will continue on buying them , I love the sound quality and how long battery lasts, keep up the great product.
I was pleasantly surprised to like this style of device. The sound is great and with not having to worry about them falling out is really nice. I even forgot I was wearing them, they are so light weight. I have never used anything like these and I really liked the result.
Sound is great with no vibration in front of the ear when the bass gets going. The rubber has a special coating making it feel soft and the wrap around is right where it feels most comfortable. Sound buttons and covered charging port are easy to find and use. Very happy with the upgrades.
For safety I want to hear the road and people around me when I bike. Doesn’t have the best sound quality compared to an earbud but great for the purpose it serves. You can tell what song is playing but might miss something in a podcast I like the mini for my smaller head, hair and helmet fit Long battery life
I received a pair Shokz headphones at CES in a "swag bag" from one of the industries after show parties. When I discovered they were waterproof, I used them while in my pool all summer. After a few summers the battery no longer woukd hold a charge so I found the new OpenFit headphones that offered improved audio performance, which I felt my old Shokz could use. They sound so much better I couldn't believe what they had done to improve their audio -performance. My only disappointment was they were not as waterproof as the last pair so I could not use them in the pool. I purchased a pair of OpenRun that were completely waterproof and they also sound significantly better than the original pair.. Now I am purchasing a pair of OpenSwim Pro because I gave my new OpenRun pair to an elderly neighbor who was walking with ear buds and was almost hit when he didn't hear a car behind him.
