Excellent. Not quite perfect.
What I don't like. You can't answer a call by pressing a button on them. You can't lie down with them on. They could be more comfortable. Good thing is, they make more comfortable ones which I'll upgrade to soon. If I really wanted to lie down, they make a bus style. My wife has them and absolutely loves them. It's truly a phenomenal product. I was most surprised at the...

Uncomfortable
I had previous versions. These are so stiff in the back uncomfortable to wear when sitting and head back in recliner. Wouldn't purchase again

My Dad can hear me!
I LOVE the hands free feature and that I can 'hear' extremely well. My father had difficulty hearing me on speaker phone and he can hear me PERFECTLY with the Shokz.
My only discontent is that in order to hear as well as you do, they are tight, so I have to remove them regularly so they don't give me a headache. It works for me, as I remove them while I am with customer...

It is great to be able to listen to music while out on the road and still be able to hear traffic.

Would Recommend!
These work great for running and exercising. I have always struggled to keep traditional ear buds in my ears, but these work great sitting on the outside! My only issue is that the sizing is a little bit odd sometimes, so I don't always get the clearest sound, but overall is great!

the headphones hurt my ears.
the headphones hurt my ears. They push out my ears bc of the thickness and it's very uncomfortable. I think if they were rounded more or you were able to make the headphones shorter it would help. I'm 5'5" and don't have an unusually small head.. they seem to big.

Love everything except how they sit.
These don’t sit quite as well as the other one I have. I was disappointed about that.

So far so good
They work almost like stated people can hear some sound but not enough to bother them and i can hear everything. At full volume they tickle your face a little but totally worth the money

Great Headset
My first introduction to open-ear/bone conduction, not too expensive, and no proprietary connector. I would have also enjoyed wireless charging but it is good enough. For what it is, this is a great alternative if allowed in office, or the gym or even around the house for a bit.
After awhile, like 6 hours it can fatigue your head/face/bones, but taking them off and wai...

great headphone
This is my 2nd pair. I use them for my earlymorning walk. They allow me to still hear the sound of traffic so I am aware of what is going on.

These are amazing! Lightweight, long charge life and the sound is fantastic. You can listen to your music while hearing what is going on around you, great for a lady that spends hours walking outdoors. Sometimes I even forget I have them on. The sound does not bleed out either so you won't bother others around you. The microphone and noise canceling technology are the b...

The sound quality is great. I love that they sit comfortably outside your ear, and stay out with running. I do think the length of the piece that goes around the head is a bit big. When I wear a hooded sweatshirt it catches a lot, but not enough that I won’t wear them.

Very quiet.
They are very quiet. Unless you wear ear plugs (which defeats the purpose of them) you have to max out the volume. If you max out the volume certain sounds will cause the headphones to buzz on your head, then you have to lower the volume to make the buzzing go away, and then you you can’t hear anything.

Must purchase for outdoors!
Love the OpenMove and have told many about them. I was having issues with traditional earbuds and headphones until I found these. Highly recommend for your walks/run, yard work, or anything outdoors.
They are not good for traveling by plane but I can use my other ones for that. Good to know for the future.

Jump off the fence
Absolutely love these! I use them at the gym and when walking my dogs. If you’re on the fence, just buy them you won’t regret it.

Almost ideal
I like almost everything about my bone conduction headphones. The ability to hear what’s going on around me as I walk or run is fabulous. The downsides are the type of charging cable connection- I lost a different model and prefer the magnetic connector. And, these are too big at the back and bother me at times.
