Bone conduction with aluminum neckband

Reviews on these are mixed at best so I figured I'd give it a shot. I have spent at least 4k on headphones from Beats to Bose to AKGs. The only thing I've never really had would be any of the newer Apple products as I've always used something android. With that out of the way these are hands down, the best open ear bone conducting headphones I've ever used. Do they beat any decent wired in ear bud in this price point at sound, absolutely not. Do they compare to comparatively priced references headphones, again, no. Where these excel however is in the very specific niche of people requiring open ear headphones for potential strenuous and or dangerous activity. In my line of work, these are indispensable for the ability to seamlessly speak with important parties while staying alert and hands free. Now, you could accomplish that with any bone conducting headphones but as I've owned multiple pairs of shockz, previous Philips bc headphones and a few other brands all in the over $100 range and I have to say these deliver the best sound quality and volume I've ever had. They also offer superior sound quality with the speakers from what I've been told to most other brands I've used. The light in the rear for me is also a great feature as I'm often on bike trails either running or cycling into the late hours and between being able to hear bikes behind me and the fact that they can see me, I feel so much safer, especially if I find myself riding on the road for a few seconds ( I could just buy a rear light but with this, that's one less thing to charge) . The only real negative I have for these is that stupid charging port. The previous generation used the same charger as my Android. I suppose this might save a sliver of internal space but I'd prefer it just be wider if it meant I didn't need to keep track of a special cord. Still, so far, there's nothing else that can check off all the boxes for me like this. If you're just an audiophile listing to your favorite music, pony up about $300- 320 for some decent reference headphones, an audio port adapter for you phone and an amp. If you're just gonna be in the gym and you're using apple products, I imagine your air pods are better. If you're gonna be outside and you need to keep your head on a swivel most of the time or you're even gonna be speaking with people while potentially otp or listening to music, I would strongly recommend these.

Did not last a year Battery life is great. Sound was great. I had nothing to compare it to though. The problem is it makes startup and shutdown sounds that are so loud they hurt my ears. I don't play loud sounds other than these and you have no choice on startup noise and now the speakers blew. All I hear is distortions now.

Well, so far 9 hours non stop playing music and still ended up with 30 percent battery life. Amazing product. Little bit bulky if you compare it to the Shokz openrun pro premium however, 3 weeks owning Shokz the battery died. Not happy with Shokz. Surprisingly really sound great when you make calls or play music. Super fast charging. Connection is awesome. Pending durability but for now im happy.

Within a year the left side speaker has become dislodged within the headphones. It rattles around and distorts the sound. Essentially broken without the ability to fix it. Prior to that, these were decent headphones... but for 200$ you expect them to last longer!

As the only affordable headphones that cover the entire ear it is well worth the money compared to inserting dirty earphones in your ear and getting an ear infection. Sound is ok for sports NOT for high fidelity HD listening! BUT sound is 10 times better than earphones that cost ten times more but have no bass such as my Jabra active! And the only reason I did not give it a 5 star is I get static when I use the bluetooth functions on my phone or on the headphones. But it is not a deal breaker

Unbelievable great quality and good high volume for when I mow the lawn. It's too bad Philips quit making these. The one thing they could have done is made them with some internal storage for downloading a favorite playlist.

I love the sound quality of these headphones and they’re built pretty well. However, after 6 months of every day usage the speakers will detach from the casing. This is my second pair and both sets have done this.

I love all the features these headphones have from the active lights making me more visible at night, to the great sound quality, and battery life. It's nice hearing music clearly and being able to hear other sounds around me as I run. There are only two things I wish his version of headphones had: 1. Bass option. I can tell they are capable of really good bass with the tones it plays turning them on and off, which is really impressive. 2. it'd be easier if the charging port was a USB-C like other models.
