I love these headphones! They have changed the way I listen to music and how I utilize my time. I use them at the gym, doing chores and listening to my favorite podcasts. I do not like things stuffed into my ear, don’t have to worry about them getting lost, moist or wet and they are really comfortable!
I love these headphones. I use them in multiple situations where it is nice to be able to listen to audiobooks or music , but also be able to hear my surroundings. These bone conduction headphones are much safer than in ear buds.
I recently got an ear infection and had been using ear buds. I bought the Shokz because they don't go inside the ears. They are fabulous! I like that my ears remain open to hear traffic when I run.
I bought the shokz based on a friend's recommendation. I really like how I don't have to have something in my ear to still hear and the sound quality was good. I found the volume up/down much easier to use than on any of my other ear buds. However, the distance, ear to ear was 2" too big, which means that the device is not resting on anything but your ears and the weight of the part going ear to ear, being pushed down by your hair that is being pushed out by the device, eventually puts pressure on the back of your ear. I do have glasses and I kept having to lift the earpiece of my glasses up to not interfer also. The overall distance ear to ear was 9" and my measurements , back of ear to back of ear is only 7". I returned mine and requested they add an additional smaller size. When they do, I will gladly trial the new version!
The concept of out-of-ear headphones really works for me. However, I am definitely experiencing some trouble with navigating the operations. Trying to figure out the way to connect to my podcasts, to pair with an airfly, volume control and shut off. Not intuitive!
