I had an older generation of Shokz headphones that recently broke in my suitcase (my fault). This version is significantly lighter! I am not sure if they are more liable to break in a carrying bag but they'd be fine in a purse or other smaller carrying apparatus. The sounds quality is cleaner and clearer, if very slightly quieter than my older pair--a worthwhile tradeoff. Big fan in the first few weeks with the new pair!
This is my 3rd pair, due to an accident and time. My only complaint is the new placement of the charging port can make it more difficult to know when not properly placed.
Not happy with battery life. No we're near what it was supposed to be. Maybe 2.5 to 3 hrs listening to music while I run. Then dead.. won't buy again. Other than that there good
