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

Work great, easy to use
Easy setup with both phone and computer. Can listen to podcasts and still hear what's going on around me, while working or trail running. Less prone to wind noise drowning the audio out than ear buds are. Battery life is great, can stay outside all day using them.

Great set
Easy to pair, easy to use. Great sound quality. The battery lasts even for a marathon at 4 and a half hours.

These headphones are awesome. I really like being able to hear my music or participate in webinars or video chat meetings but still have awareness of my surroundings. I've recommended them to a bunch of my friends already!

Love them!
The sound is amazing! I wear hearing aids and these work beautifly with them. I would recommend them to anyone. No buds to push in your ear that never fit properly.

I LOVE these! I primarily use them for running, but they work great for other/everyday listening. They were super easy to set up too!
I am still getting used to wearing them since this is my first pair of bone conducting headphones.

Headphone tones
The message when turning the headphones on and off used to have tones associated with that function. It made knowing they were turned off or on easier than just a voice recording. It makes a difference towards the negative in my experience that the tones were removed.

I love the OpenMove headphones, just a recommendation; keep the volume down a tad bit when running outside to hear surrounding noise.

I use these to listen
I use these to listen to Pre recorded lessons during horseback riding. They fit nicely-not interfering with my helmet and are comfortable. I had problems with earbuds falling out at the canter. These don’t move no matter what I’m doing. Thanks, I love them!!

I used OpenMove for my yard work, with ear plugs in for the power equipment I can still listen music, etc. Battery last all day.
As for work, used them from train to office. I can hear other people around me.

I love mine. I wasn't
I love mine. I wasn't sure of the technology so I bought the sport at lowest cost. They are GREAT. Music, podcasts, audiobooks are all clear and I can hear ambient noise on the run including traffic. The control setup is extremely easy to operate while outdoors even with cold hands. These are the best on the market. If these are good at this price point, I can only imag...

This is my second pair of Aftershokz. Love the open ear design. Would have loved if a smaller size was available.

Good but could be fantastic
I like everything it currently does, it's just missing a few things. If you would add the ability to tell it to answer or ignore phone calls, have it announce the caller if they are in your contacts, voice activate to initiate a call then they would be the best on the market.
As it is now they are good but I still have to dig out my phone to see who's calling, or to mak...
