The main issue is when wearing a jacket, the headphones get pulled around behind the neck and makes it uncomfortable and difficult to look behind. This is really bad when you need to look around often through the city. Also not great with a helmet, but it's acceptable.

Aftershokz' unique bone conduction design has the huge advantage of not covering your ears. The speaker element sits in front of your ear, on your cheekbone, and vibrations generated by the sealed units conduct the sound.

Long runtime; clear sound; quality construction

High price; overwhelmed by wind noise at higher speeds

After a few months of use, I can now give a review of this strange product. Following the default of how many others do when they make an assessment, so plus and minus follow below. Plus: - Connects quickly to bluetooth and keeps the connection good.

I bought these mostly for mountain biking because I seemed to be crash-prone when wearing earbuds either because of having something shoved into my ear canal was messing with my equilibrium or because of the cognitive disconnect from not being able hear the ground crunching under my tires.

Product is super light weight and comfortable to wear. The bone-conduction method leaves your ears free, so you can listen to music and run or bike (or even just sit at your desk at the office) and still hear what is going on around you. Sound quality is solid, controls work really well.

Bone conduction technology is great if you want to avoid headphones that enter your ear canal. The sound quality was really good. However, the wrap that goes around the back of the head is rigid and not adjustable, leaving too much space between it and the back of your head.

My brother got these and I tried them. They were so awesome I had to have my own pair. It's incredible how you can hear the music and still hear what's going on around you. Amazing. Most workplaces allow these now. Mine work perfectly and Target had the best price anywhere at the time.

My boyfriend and I bought them for each other. We like them. Have noticed that you should not lean your upper jaw on your hand while talking.... dead ends the souls for the person trying to hear you talk. Love that it's not screeching in my EAR. Comfortable to wear. Sound quality is fine.

No

It is rare in life that purchases exceed your expectations. This little gem is incredible! First of all, it is virtually weightless - you really forget that you are wearing them. The sound was simply surprising.
