SHOKZ OpenMove - Open-Ear Bluetooth Sport Headphones, Bone Conduction Wireless Earphones, Sweatproof for Running and Workouts, with Sticker Pack, GreyCarbonfree Certified

I've had these headphones for over a year now, and I'm very happy with them. I found out how much I like them when I bought a cheaper brand to give my sister, who would only be using them for talking on the phone. I tried out the cheaper one before I gave it to her, and ended up returning those. What they didn't have that these do: 1. clear sound (the cheaper ones cut off the beginning of words frequently) 2. better and easier to use controls. The large button on the left ear that you can press to stop and start your music, podcast etc. is really handy and easy to access (vs trying to use a tiny button on the right that also controls volume and several other things, depending on how many times you press it). 3. It's easy to see the light that tells you if they're on or off etc.I love that I can still hear things around me when I'm running, like birds singing, etc. I like listening to podcasts while I work in the yard. And I like that I don't have something stuck in my ear, which I've always hated. I tried wireless earbuds and hated them. If they fell out, they ended up in the dirt on the ground.

The SHOKZ OpenMove - Open-Ear Bluetooth Sport Headphones, Bone Conduction Wireless Earphones are great. Nice, clear and quality sound. I am very impressed with this headset, and I recommend it. It's does not go into the ear, so you can hear the sound around you. This is great and safe when you are walking, or at the gym. This is a good fine, and they are a bargain when you find them on sale.

I've been a fan of this brand for a while. It was honestly a godsend for me, as I can't wear inner earbuds. My ear canals are too small for even the smallest ones I've found. I don't like carrying around big over the ear headphones and the outer earbuds are kind of becoming a thing of the past, particularly after phones started dropping the audio jack. I got one of the mid-priced ones they had and they lasted me a good long while - they still work, but they finally broke in a way that I can't really repair without impacting the device's ability to rest on my temporal bones. For reference, I got these before the company rebranded themselves from Aftershokz to simply Shokz, which I think happened about 5 years ago. These likely would have lasted longer, except that I'm admittedly a bit rough on my electronics.These are a marked change from the earlier unit, which was smooth silicone and plastic. I chose these for the price point, but also because I thought the metal might make them harder to break. I'll have to wait a bit to weigh in on that one, as the older pair I had took years to finally start breaking down. Others have mentioned that these are a bit awkward on the head compared to the ones in the higher priced tiers. I have to agree on that. While I do think I'm getting a more durable unit, the headset is a bit more awkwardly placed than the other models. At times it sort of battles for space with my eyeglasses, but not in a way that I'd find a deal breaker. It's just a bit of a transition period, although if you are very sensitive to things like that I recommend going for one of the slimmer units.As far as sound goes, these are nice. I can tell that they've worked on the sound quality since their earlier units, as it's a bit crisper and clearer than my other set. I do get the impression that the higher dollar sets might be a bit better, but I think that's more because it might sit on the temporal bone a bit more smoothly than these might on my head. Other than that, I am pretty happy that the headset can be charged with a type C USB cord. This makes it easier to charge these any time, any where. These have a decent amount of charge time so I'm not particularly worried about this running out all of a sudden, but it is good to have. These do hold less of a charge than the mid-tier units, so keep that in mind. If you're someone who often goes long periods without charging things or can spend 10+hours using your headphones, you'll definitely want to go with the next tier up. Still, for my purposes these are fine. Another user mentioned some ear soreness - I haven't experienced that so far. I think part of this is because I'm kind of used to this via my eyeglasses and prior set - but I think that this will vary by person in general.Overall, I'm pretty pleased with these. I will admit that I liked the mid-tier type headset more as far as charge time and comfort goes, but this gets the job done and meets my needs. It also feels slightly more durable, but time will only tell with that. I might eventually replace these with a mid-tier when they wear out, but if they're anything like my old headset it's going to be a while and it'll go out kicking and screaming. Highly recommend.

Totally cool, way better than I expectedFirst thing I've used it for was blasting my tinnitus with frequency's into my brain to calm the ringing these seem to be effective tho I'm still experimenting it seems effective.Secondly I'm an elite level athlete I took these immediately on a 7.5 mile run with 80% charge in 80 degrees they played the entire time roughly an hour, they actually stayed in place with consistent audio quality and my ears can finally do their thing and cool off without ear buds getting sweaty or falling out it should be good for ear aches from wearing ear buds for hours. When I finished my run they still had plenty of battery life left. I'm likely buying the water proof models now these have proven their worth 100%. You get some silly stickers to put on but I avoided that they serve no purpose for me but they're nice looking. Also it's USB-C. These are my main work out and running headphones now no more earbuds.

The size is perfect for portability and does not take up much space. Bluetooth connectivity is amazing super easy to do and understand to connect to whatever Bluetooth unit you choose to use. It charges pretty fast and it hold charges well. The design is really unique, fits behind the head over the ear, not in the ear. My husband does not like things in his ears, so this was perfect for him. The sound quality of the headphones are amazing. Great sound clarity is good. this is a great value for your money.

These are lightweight so you can wear them for hours without hurting like ear buds do. Call quality is good for hands free talking. They allow me to listen to music or audiobooks and still hear my surroundings to be safe when driving, riding a bike etc. Sound quality is good for my needs, but probably not for an audio file.

Overall, the product works well. It’s what I was looking for running purposes. They are durable while light weight, the sound is great and the price is reasonable. I do wish the design of the product was tighter from the back portion of the headphones. There is a large gap between the back of my head the wire like part of the product.
