Title: Fantastic for runners!!
Review: I was so tired of spending copious amounts of money on headphones that are either garbage, fall apart after expected usage, or that cause ear fatigue. For around $50 these are great quality! The sound quality is great for the bone conduction type of headphone. No these donât have noise cancelling features, so if thatâs what youâre looking for then I suggest not entertaining the idea of ANY bone conduction products.I have to condition for 2 mile timed runs, at a minimum twice a year, for my job. So a better part of the year, Iâm running to practice. After using chunky, not to mention heavy, Bose over the ear headphones, 2 pairs of Bose wireless in ear headphones and a pair of AirPod Pros, these budget friendly headphones are exactly what Iâm looking for!!The buttons are super easy to navigate, the headphones are super light and easy to wear with a hat, a headband, etc. These are also great for using when you have to wear any PPE in the ear canal but canât wear in ear earbuds!If you are tired of spending $150 or more on headphones, go with these and be sure to purchase the two year warranty plan. It will literally pay for itself within the first 10 uses! The vibration does take some getting used to but itâs no different than any other type of headphone.Seriously, love these headphones and itâs worth every cent! Hope this review helps!

Title: Comfortable, and you can hear!
Review: Bought these headphones so that I could hear my coworkers while listening to my music. Product is a solid quality has lasted with my children bending them, being dropped and having taken some beating. I've never tried bone induction headphones before so I was a little nervous to try them but the sound quality is great! They fit wonderful and last more than a full 8 hour shift of work. I Would definetly recommend. The only thing I would say I have disliked about the product would be How much the wire that goes around the back of my head sticks out. I like to wear beanies and if I cover it with my beanie it pushes it out of place and i can no longer hear the music to well. It also can be hard to hear your music if there is a lot of loud noises, like a vaccume or loud machinery. So if you work in a noisy environment it might not be the right product for you. Other than that would recommend 100%

Title: Impressive!
Review: I was somewhat skeptical when I first read about these headphones. So I decided to give them a try. I went ahead and ordered them and was not sure what kind of sound quality I would get what I like about these headphones is the size and flexibility. They also have a great quality and weight. These headphones essentially are controlled by three buttons, which are simple to use. I work in a manufacturing environment where I take callsBut also have to listen to whatâs going on on the shop floor. These headphones support everything I needed the sound quality was good but wouldnât say itâs the best. I feel the vibration on my ear slightly, but nothing that would cause any discomfort for me. I could see discomfort if the volume was maxed out for some people. As far as the weight on my head , they are light but it took me about a day to get use to the wearing headphone off of my ears. I like the bone conductive technology and they work for certain environments. These donât not isolate noise as Iâve mentioned so understand what your buying. After wearing for so long , they could cause discomfort at the top side of my ear. So I donât wear them for long periods, the surround near the ear does not allow for much adjustment. The value for the money isnât bad , however I did get these on sale :-).

Title: Great, as long as you know what you're getting.
Review: This have several advantages over other headphones types. The open ear is great when you need to hear around you. They are super comfortable. I can even sleep with these on as a side sleeper. (You feel them, but not enough to hurt). And they are so light and comfortable, I can wear them around the house and forget I have them on - similar to a pair of glasses in weight and comfort. I'm even able to wear these while wearing professional safety equipment like eye or ear protection, and they still work.However, these are not for awesome sound quality. You can hear and understand videos just fine. You can sing along with your favorite songs. They work great while I'm working outdoors even over power equipment (you do have to turn them up though.) But this is not for an audiophile. You will not get all the highs and lows, you will certainly not feel bass in your chest. (In fact, you'll feel it in your temples as a vibration if you have them up too loud, which is a awkward feeling). Also - funny weird quirk - if you want to hear the bass better. You can put your fingers in your ears and it actually gets louder, though more muffled.So if you're thinking these are going to be amazing sound quality, you'll be disappointed, but for "good enough" sound quality in a lot of places that other headphones won't go, these are the ticket.

Title: Simple intuitive interface, long battery life, excellent sound quality
Review: I tried 2 other cheap overseas products, then finally purchased a set. So good all the way around. exceeded my expectations. Purchased this set as a gift for 80 yr old mom. easy to understand and just makes sense.Can be paired to 2 sources at once. (I use my phone for calls and my laptop for music)Smart enough to hand off sound to android auto/carplay then reconnect seamlessly when the car is off.comfortable if strange at first. The pads go in front of your ear, above the jaw hinge.They don't heat up like other brands I usedThe battery usually lasts a week with my limited use. (They're always on me, but I use mostly for hand free phone calls for work.)

Review: I just got these, so I still need to play around to see if thereâs any glitches. But so far so good.Very comfortable! Iâve worn them for about six hours straight and they just get a little sore next to my ears. But they stay in place and fit really well. I can lean back in my wheelchair and When I walk with my walker they donât fall off like earbuds do.What I like about these is that they donât block out sound. They leave your ears open so you can still have conversations with people, or if youâre riding a bike or taking a walk you can hear if there are traffic Nearby, or if someone is trying to get your attention. Great for walks, business meetings, and other things. I am actually visually impaired. So I use something called a screen reader on my phone. This means that all buttons, notifications, text, and anything else that is visually on the screen gets read out loud by a synthetic voice. I donât always want people around me to know who Iâm messaging or what Social media Iâm browsing. So having these as an option is wonderful.I can be playing my Spotify playlist, listening to an audiobook or a podcast, but also hear if someone is approaching me. I can sit around the campfire and be browsing my Facebook, but still have conversations with my friends around me without them having to hear my phone talk on and on.These stay charged for a super long time! I only have to charge them maybe once a week. And thatâs with heavy use. The sound quality is decent, not a lot of base or Chrispness but for, $99 you really canât beat it.The next thing I have to test however if it works with phone calls. If it does then these are perfect! I did go on discord, which is an audio chat app for gamers. And I played word games with my friends and everyone could hear me and I could hear them perfectly. ðð¼ would recommend

Review: Lo compré para una persona con discapacidad visual ya que por desgracia necesitan el uso de tecnologÃa y aplicaciones para el desarrollo normal de actividades que otros damos por sentado. El sonido es bueno le resultó muy fácil de entender y práctico.compatible con todos los sistemas operativos,programas de voz y el resto de aplicaciones, puede oir los sonidos ambientales y al tiempo ubicarse en el espacio. (No va a ser atropellado;p) Es más resistente de lo que en una primera impresión parece, eso sÃ, no hay que maltratarlo.
