I love these for running and exercise. Earbuds always fall out for me, and dealing with cords on headphones while moving is annoying. I use my Shokz all the time.
I commute to work on my bike and now I can listen to podcasts and music on the way to and from. I am very anti-headphone on the bike but these are a safe way to listen. Was really surprised at how good the sound quality is on these, too. Good battery life (about as much as advertised) and I can even take hands-free calls with the touch of the left earpiece button in vehicles that don't have a Bluetooth connection. This has been an excellent quality of life improvement!
Love the Mini! It is the perfect fit. Since bone conductivity is the science behind the sound, only when the “speakers” connect to bone can it deliver quality sound. The larger set slipped down on the back of my neck causing the “speakers” to rise above the bones in front of the ears—and well, poor sound. Great range of bass and treble without cranking volume up. Don’t expect the same sound quality as lounger-quality headphones, but the road safety is priceless!
