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

Perfect for me
Due to anxiety and safety, I have never liked noise cancelling headphones. However, due to an ear surgery as a kid I cannot use earbuds or over the ear headphones.

Like every other pair of headphones I've worn, it is too big to comfortably fit in my ears. The lack of adjustments makes wearing it uncomfortable to reposition. Sounds great otherwise.

Great headphones for PC, smartphone and PS4
I've been using these headphones por a couple of months now and they're great. Haven't actually used them for exercising though, mainly for working on my laptop and playing videogames on the PS4. When I bought them I had to take a leap of faith that they would work on the PS4 since I couldn't find anybody else that was using them with the PS4. To get them to work on the...

Need for adjustable band
While the performance is great the fit is not. The back of the band sticks out too far. An adjustable band would be so much better. I will maybe try the mini size if I but another one.
I would like to have worn it for work but with short hair it looks silly. Also would love a flesh colored one.

Too small for me
I've tried contacting support about this, but got the automated email first so here's my current review. I've got a large head and these simply do not work for me. They do physically fit, but just barely and they're pressing down on the tops of my ears in a painful way. I can only use them for about 10 minutes before it's unbearable. Trying to return them, support is he...

Perfect for what I need them for
I love these headphones.
I have worn over the ear headphones for such a long time because my ears do not fit any type of pods and they always fall out. I am a distance runner and don't want to bother with my headphones when I am trying to focus on my run. I also run in the city which can be dangerous to have "around me" sound completely muted.

Best headphones for eyeglass wearers
After trying so many headphones, this one truly takes the grand prize. I wear eyeglasses all the time, and this has given me freedom to be able to move while wearing these headphones. It doesn't bother me as most have, and I have literally been able to wear them all day long. Thanks for making a great product.

I like my new headphones, but the wire between the two is too big.

Great product!
The reason I gave a 4 star rating is because it’s not easy to lie on your back with them on.

It’s the best headphones. Not directly in your ear but It allows you listen to music and hear traffic and communicate with other riders without changing the volume.!

For hearing aid users
Before Aftershokz: My poor ears had to endure hearing aids, mask loops, and glasses. The TV volume was on high and subtitles turned on. Ear buds fell out or were elsewhere when taking a phone call so I resorted to turning on the speaker.

Buttons irritate ears
The position of the control buttons really irritate my ear, making the overall comfort level quite low.

Putting my ear buds in the trash.
Light weight, comfortable, simple to use, sound quality is very good with ears open and excellent with ear plugs in. I love the ability to be aware of my surroundings while listening to music and podcasts or take calls hands-free. I rarely take them off. I'm frequently asked by strangers what they are, how they work and where to find them. Sending lots of sales your way...

My second set
Great for working out, working in the yard, anytime you are sweating, want music and your ears still clear, this is my second set after my first set broke, not the best sound on the other end during voice calls, but sufficient enough for those times.
