SHOKZ OpenMove - Open-Ear Bluetooth Sport Headphones, Bone Conduction Wireless Earphones, Sweatproof for Running and Workouts, with Sticker Pack, GreyCarbonfree Certified

I use headphones for outdoor running. Before I bought these, I was buying a new pair of wireless headphones every 6-9 months. I assumed this was just the expected mileage for headphones that suffer varied temperatures (25-80° is my running temperature range) and rain or snow. I am not particularly careful with them and often leave them in the car when the resulting temperature fluctuations inherent to northeast Ohio. Despite all of my lack of care, these headphones are starting their third year, and going strong. The sound is fine. I can hear my podcasts or music well enough with the sound turned down and I can still hear people or animals around. The battery life is still robust- I use them a lot and still charge them at most every 5 days. I dope them. My wife sat on them I. The car yesterday. I fall asleep with them on sometimes. Not seems to bother them. I just discovered that the left headphone had a little pause/play button that can be clicked without accessing the phone. Excellent product and well worth the money over the cheaper versions I have bought in the past.

Since I started using the OpenMove open-ear headphones, the way I listen to music has completely changed. I no longer feel that annoying pressure in my ears or end the day with listening fatigue. They go with me on walks, at work, or while running — and the best part is, I can still hear everything around me — a conversation, traffic, birds singing — without missing a beat from my favorite playlist.What surprised me most is how secure they feel. The titanium frame fits so well that I sometimes forget I’m even wearing them. And with six hours of battery life, I don’t have to worry about charging them halfway through the day. It’s like having a little superpower: staying connected to the world without giving up my music or calls.

These headphones are awesome. For being so small and lightweight, the sound quality on these headphones is pretty incredible. They're not the BEST quality of audio, so if you're concerned about sound quality more than anything else, stick with AirPods or over-ear headphones.I have a few minor complaints before I get into the things that I love about these headphones. First, they're a bit of a hassle to pair back and forth between multiple devices. I'll go back and forth between using these with my phone and my laptop, and I have to turn Bluetooth off entirely on one device in order to get them to pair to the other device I want to connect them with. Which is a bit tedious, but after I get them connected, I don't have any other issues. If you're not pairing them back and forth between devices and just using them with your phone, this probably won't bother you. The back piece of the headband isn't adjustable, so I have to fiddle around with them a little bit to get them to sit right when I'm wearing glasses, or a hat. I've worn these while working out, and if I have to lay down on my back to do any stretches or other movements, they'll get bumped off of the sweet spot where the audio quality is best, and I'll have to adjust them.As far as everything else goes, I like these headphones WAY more than regular earbuds. My ears are open, so I don't get that itchy or sweaty ear feeling that I'd normally get from in-ear headphones. Because my ears are open, I feel like I'm so much more aware of my surroundings when I'm on walks. I can have conversations with people while I'm walking and not have to constantly take one earbud out. Having your ears open is so much better than the "awareness" feature on most of the high-end headphones that offer ANC have. I can wear these while shopping and have no issues talking to anyone working, as well. Since my ears are open, I feel like I can wear these headphones for way longer than I would wear regular earbuds or over-ear headphones. The buttons for changing songs and controlling the volume are easy to use, and makes it easy for me to stay engaged with whatever I'm doing. I think that these headphones also just look cool, and I put on some of the stickers that came with them to make them a bit more personalized. I was a bit hesitant to spend $80 on these, but if they hold up like other reviews say they do, then it will be worth the money if I can get a year or more out of them.

The size is perfect for portability and does not take up much space. Bluetooth connectivity is amazing super easy to do and understand to connect to whatever Bluetooth unit you choose to use. It charges pretty fast and it hold charges well. The design is really unique, fits behind the head over the ear, not in the ear. My husband does not like things in his ears, so this was perfect for him. The sound quality of the headphones are amazing. Great sound clarity is good. this is a great value for your money.

I needed hands-free that would work with earplugs. I was hesitant on buying these due to the price so I bought a couple different brands of "open ear" ear buds. They failed to be heard with ear plugs in. I finally bit the bullet and bought these. They are SO loud. You need a just a little volume to hear over ear plugs. If you work in the trades or drive for a living this is money well spent.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these in Dec of 23.Can not say enough good things about them. Connectivity, Sound quality & battery life is incredible, 8-12 hrs no problem listening to music. Calls will shorten it a little but not substantially. I love these things,no regrets at all!
