Great solution for bikers
I got this for biking so I can better hear sounds around me while listening to podcasts. Here are my takeaways:- I can hear every car along with every rattle of my bike, exactly what I was looking for.- Audio quality is good, not great, but that's to be expected with this style of headphone. It works perfect for something like podcasts or audiobooks.- The fit feels a little odd at first but I quickly got used to it.- The volume buttons are reversed to me, volume up is the lower button.- It doesn't start to charge until you hit a button.- The fit feels fairly universal to me, I've got an average size head and it feels like it could accept a much larger head. The back loop hangs low, would would be good for those with long hair. Only downside is that the back loop will hit my jacket collar which pushes the headphones off their place affecting sound quality.- I wear wire frame glasses and use these without trouble. If you wear thicker framed glasses you may have difficulty getting these to fit right.

Works well but breaks fast
I liked the sound quality and ease of use of this item. I was able to clearly listen to audiobooks whilst I exercised, and would usually total an hour per day over two weeks. For the time that it worked, it worked quite well. If there were a skip back/reverse 30 seconds for audible books, this product would have been perfect in its functional performance, yet even with just the volume control and play/pause/skip to next track features I was satisfied.Unfortunately, this guy breaks quick. I would consider myself a profuse sweater, and though it is sweat resistant I suspect my perspiration spelled the end of the device quickly, the first of these headphones I purchased turned defective on the third week after I'd obtained and started using them daily. They slowly because less and less responsive after further use, not responding to button presses or the bluetooth connection sputtered inconsistently.Hoping the first headphones were an exception I returned them and got another set. That pair lasted two weeks before showing the same signs of non-responsive button controls and intermittent connectivity issues. For a ~$70 set of headphones I had expected far more longevity.I would recommend these headphones to people who don't sweat profusely and want decent sound quality and battery life, with the caveat that they may not last very long before misbehaving.

... they were bone conduction headphones due to all the good reviews.
Bought these thinking they were bone conduction headphones due to all the good reviews...will be more wary next time...they are definitely not bone conduction just mini speakers next to your ear kind of thing - sound quality is very poor and hard to hear if someone is calling you. Not worth the money. Next time will just wait longer and save up to get the real thing.

Fun and show and tell factor makes it worth it!
Five stars only because of the fun and show and tell factor. I've only had for a few months. I use these every day for 7.5 hrs, sometimes 9.5. if I charge them through my two, 15 min breaks and my 30 min lunch, they stay charged to get me through the shift and have some juice left over for the following day. Blue tooth hooked up to my phone just fine. Here are some things to note:Sound quality is better when using earplugs (even just one) in super loud areas, such as factories, or a loud house. That being said, they are great for those situations because you can have some background noise but still hear. It does stink when you do wear the earplugs for a while, they make your ears hurt. They actually work. When you plug your ears, you can hear it in your head!They are flexible and fun, but maybe my head is too skinny because sometimes they slip a bit and I have to adjust them. I do move a lot for my job, so it could be that too. They are light weight and don't make my ears tired.The vibration from having them too loud can be a bit distracting (it sometimes vibrates my hair whisps and tickles me). It's an easy fix though, just turn it down.Speaking of turning it down, the button placement is alright. The volume down button is kind of hard to get to, though it could be my ears. I have to push close to my ear to do so, though I just use my phone. The pause and play button works as it should though.The fun factor and show and tell amusement makes up for the down falls. It's always fun to have people try them on and then shock them by telling them to plug their ears. Seeing people's reactions makes my day.

Moisture is Achilles' heel of these headphones.
Audio was acceptable, but not great. They were my first bone conduction headphones, and I didn't know what to expect. They were easy to use and lighter than most of it's time.I bought these in 2018. They have performed acceptably and reliably well for light duty until recently, when I started running in warm weather again. The audio would first go out after 20 - 30 minutes or so and seemed to be correlated with moisture. On one rainy day, the audio cut out very quickly. Finally, the headphones died for good the other day on the treadmill. I got about 4 years of use out of these headphones. I think one should be able to do better than this.

Not the best sound quality but who cares?
The very nature of bone conducting headphones is the antithesis of audiophile quality sound so I don't bother with that. What I do like is comfort and convenience. I bought these to hear music while I play pickup Ultimate. I pair with my Apple Watch series 3 and just go out there. These things just sit on my head I forget they are even there. They are durable enough for me throw around and not fuss over them. Funny, on low volume and with the right music, it's kind of like having your own personal soundtrack to your life. Best use would be for listening to podcasts or taking calls while you do chores around the house. My biggest gripe is that it doesn't work with launching Siri but I use my watch for that so it's not a big loss.

Great for podcasts and audiobooks
I bought these to use while cycling, I cycle for about an hour a day commuting to work. The sound quality is pretty limiting compared to regular headphones but that seems to be inherent with bone conduction. So I definitely wouldn't use them if I just wanted to listen to music. However, for podcasts and audiobooks they are great, you can clearly hear the dialogue. They took a little while to get used to but after a week I was hooked.I bought these to replace some AfterShokz Trekz I had to return, the Trekz dropped bluetooth connection unless I sat completely still! These are half the price but the audio sound is exactly the same, with the added benefit of bluetooth that works. Most of the time. It still will break up from time to time, but overall not too bad.

Works well as intended
Bought as a gift. I've been told that they work very well (as in the bone conduction works as you'd expect/hope). Only criticism is that they could be a little louder.

Good sound and value
Lovely clear sound, comfortable on and easy to connect through blue tooth and let's face it not every thing is.
