AKASO Bone Conduction Headphones Open Ear with Microphone Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Sports Headsets for Jogging Running Sports and Fitness

I run a lot and being able to hear my surroundings but also be able to listen to music is the best. I use to have to run with 1 ear bud in and the other out so when i found these I bought them so fast. The sound is great and can be loud or soft. They are comfortable and don’t hurt my ears after wearing them for awhile. They hold a charge for about a week of constant use 30-60 min/day. For the price it was hard to beat and they work just as great as the top brands.

I really really like these head phones- let me tell you why. If you are looking for headphones with the greatest sound quality- these are not for you. If you are looking for the lightest headphones- these are not for you. If you are looking for noise cancelling headphones- brother, these are definitely not for you.The AKASO bone conducting head phones are excellent for fit, comfort, battery life, ease of use, and most importantly SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. The benefit of bone conducting headphones is that you can be running in a busy city, maintaining a conversation, or walking alone at night listening to music and still hear everything around you. No your not going to get the same sound quality and the volume could be a little better but they work great! I’m a 6’ 1” 200lb+ guy and I barely feel them on my head- my wife is very petite and they made her ears stick out somewhat and the back head band stuck out to far. I would definately give these headphones a B+ - worth it if you have any concerns about being aware of what’s going on around you and listening to music/spoken word

First impression: Overall Positive.Noise Cancellation: 5/5The bone-conduction technology works wonders. As a person with ADD, it is often difficult for me to block out external noise, and even battery-powered noise-cancellation headphones don't drown out distractions. That being said, these are easy to use. I popped in a pair of high-performance earplugs, put these on over my zygomatic bones (the bones right in front of your ears that this technology uses to conduct sound into the inner ear), and I sat there and listened to my music without bothering anybody else or getting overwhelmed by too much noise from the TV/dogs/etc.Sound quality: 3/5These headphones (like many other Bluetooth headphones I've had) really only work in the left speaker. The sound quality in both speakers is great, but the right one is noticeably quieter than the left one. It's not irritating enough for me to stop using it, but it does make me wonder how long it will be until the right speaker gives out entirely. That being said, you can expect the sound to seem a little "muffled" at first. This is because these are not feeding sound through your eardrums (as most people are accustomed to having) but straight into the bones of your inner ear. The sound has to travel through skin, fat, muscle, and finally bone. Overall, however, the sound quality is excellent. Now, if I can just figure out how to boost the sound through the right speaker, these would be perfect.Battery life: 5/5Haven't worked from full charge, yet, but right out of the box there's been battery life enough for 2 hours of straight listening. Will update once I've had more time to play with them.

I am a bluetooth guy. I absolutely love everything that has bluetooth and this headset is quickly becoming my favorite. As soon as I took it out of the package I knew that it was going to be great. The packaging was very nice and the headset felt very strong and durable. When I connected my headset with my phone it synced up immediately and sounded perfect. My Wife loves it as well because usually when I wear my headphones I can't hear her and have to pause whatever I'm listening to to understand her. With these I can here here and the music at the same time. The battery life is excellent. The sound and voice quality is superb when making phone calls. If you want a great deal on a bone conducting headset this is the one.

Sounds like crap when worn on cheekbone. Sounds ok in ears but obviously not meant to fit there. Maybe they are all like this and if so I don't get the point. These are louder to the people around me than what I am getting through my cheekbones.

This headphone is not true bone conduction. The sound transmission is not through the cheekbones or vibration, but actually just through the air. It's basically a set of tiny (tinny) speakers that sit outside your ear- with very subpar sound quality.I am giving it 2 stars because it technically does what it sets out to do- be "headphones" that don't require insertion into the ear canal. Battery life seems fine, but that's to be expected with such a relatively bulky device.This is a case of- you get what you pay for. Actually, I got far less than what I paid for. Returned.

Really enjoying these headphones! I wanted to try out bone conduction headphones because I'd heard a lot about them. These were a way cheaper option than Aftershox and seem to function just as well.The sound is pretty good considering they don't actually go in your ears. Obviously, bass is going to be a little weak, but that was expected. They also aren't meant for noise cancelation since they leave your ear completely open.However, I do like the feeling of not having my hearing completely obstructed while also still being able to enjoy my music. They aren't totally quiet though - other people sitting close to you will still definitely be able to hear your music.
