These bone-conducting headphones are the best. I love how they have great sound, but don't shut you off from the world. Super comfortable, too, and easy to use.
My 4th pair of Shokz, they usually last about 2 years if not sooner and then crap out on you. Shokz has an ok warranty program if the die before the 2 years. Overall the sound quality is decent to real good. They are light around your head and great to run with
I love shokz. I love listening to auto books while a do other things around the house or while exercising. These headphones also allow me to answer my phone and also can make a phone call with one finger. I don't have to hold my phone or have it on me 24/7. I can put it in a central location and I am hands free. My husband and I have had several pairs for years now. If taken care of they can last a long time. Usually something has happened to them. We have to buy another pair. We never go without them. We both wear them daily. I wear mine all day even if I am not using them to listen to anything, just to go hands-free from my phone. They are definitely worth the investment. They are very light weight. I wear glasses and it's isn't too much on my ears. I recommend to everyone when ever I can.
I like to listen to music when i cycle, but I hate having ear buds in around moving traffic on the roads. I thought I'd give these a try. Some reviews said that the sound wasn't that good, but my experience was that they have been a lot better than my ear buds. I've only worn them while cycling, but I'll bet the sound quality is as good if not better than my noise canceling headphones! They are comfortable to wear. I can hear my surroundings (someone coming up on my left or cars coming up behind me). I also love that the controls are on the earpiece and easy to reach. The only minor drawback is that with a helmet and my hair, it takes a little adjustment to get the into position, but thats not nearly as negative as the ear buds falling out when i ride. I love my Shokz!
They are great for what they do. Much better than in the ear headphones. The only issue I have had is mechanical failure with every set I have had. I haven't found any other replacement that comes close to the comfort and sound quality Shokz provides, so these are the best option for me out there.
