Best option for all day use. I like them for running and biking for safety and situational awareness, but equally great for calls and teams meetings at the same time.

Once you get past the slight discomfort of these resting on your temples. Sounds amazing and nice to be able to hear ambient sounds as well.

These are perfect for a quiet environment when you don't want to isolate yourself! I had been frustrated for some time with a headset that worked well for talking on the phone and or video meetings. Seemed like everything would clip the first word of my sentence or transmit every sound when I turned my head. These do the job perfectly for me! But don't get them if you are in a noisy environment, they are not good for that as they don't go into or cover your ears. Some people may not like them at max volume as they do vibrate a bit when very loud. But for routine home/office use they are awesome!

It was a good headset the sound quality and mic quality was excellent It's just that having to wrap it around my head for long periods of time would sometimes give me a headache. The other thing I did not like about it where the sound came from was next to you ear not in your ear and sometimes listening to music with a lot of bass would vibrate the sides of your head sometimes didn't feel very pleasant more of an annoyance

Perfect for Shuttle Drivers

Works perfect. Easy to use. Ideal for my part time gig as a shuttle driver. Company rule says we can’t play the radio in the van (distracts passengers). This device allows me to still hear if a customer needs to communicate and I can listen to the songs on my playlist on my phone at the same time (prevents me from falling asleep). If I get a call from work, I simply touch the button on the right side of the device, it pauses the music so I can take the call (hands free of course).

I like the better battery life. I don't like that when the boom folds back it rests on my ear. I think they could make it 1/2 the length with mic in the end, and another mic on the right side. The mic actually does work well (the Aeropex works well also). Any way, I returned it and bought the Aeropex, it's lighter and for me a lot more comfortable. It's my new headset of choice inside, and for running (the Aeropex)...but not driving.

I really like these. Just wish it was adjustable. It sticks out a few inches from my head. Hits the back of the car seat.

Thought I'd give these a try. They felt pretty good, used them at work for a day. I didn't like the band around the back of my head. They sounded good, but when talking on the phone people could hear back ground noise. I'm a truck driver so the inside of the cab is a bit noisy. Inside the house seemed to be alright. I ended up returning them.

Not worth paying 2x price of OpenMove model...

I'd say good, but not great. The reason I say that is because there really isn't any sound quality improvement in both audio or voice call quality over the $79 OpenMove model by AfterShokz. You're talking twice the money, and honestly zero improvement other than you get a boom mic (not sure it really does any good) and a nicer case. Not to mention that the boom mic can and does get in the way when not in use. It folds back, but it's still in the way.
I'll take the $79 pair. Thank you!

PROS:
- Excellent battery life
- Outstanding mic quality
- Comfortable to wear with glasses
- Great voice audio clarity
- Very light weight
CONS:
- "One size fits all" could be an issue for some
- I wish music audio was better
-- SETUP --
Setting up the AfterShokz OpenComm is very easy. You have two options to pair your headset with your phone: (1) NFC or (2) traditional Bluetooth pairing in the phone settings. When pairing with your laptop/desktop (which is what I have my OpenComm paired to), it works just like any other new Bluetooth device: turn on Bluetooth on your computer, select "add new device", then press and hold the volume up button on the OpenComm for about 5 seconds until you hear the audio prompt telling you that the headset is now in pairing mode, then select the OpenComm in the computer Bluetooth "select device" option.
-- PERFORMANCE --
This headset is designed primarily to be used for calls and/or virtual meetings. Sure, you could listen to music as well, but the music quality isn't very good. If you want to listen to podcasts though, the OpenComm does a great job (but I would still prefer to use normal headphones if I'm not going to be on a call/meeting any time soon).
When paired with my phone, the mic quality on the OpenComm is so great, people were surprised to find out that I was using a headset. The mic quality really is amazing. I can't think of any other headset I've ever used that can come close to the OpenComm.
The same high-quality performance carries over to when paired with my computer as well. With transitioning to working from home, my only real headset with a mic was a gaming headset (thankfully it's a simple, low-profile black headset that doesn't scream "I'M A GAMER!!!" like other headsets). While it worked, it wasn't very professional. The OpenComm on the other hand, both looks AND sounds VERY professional. If you have longer hair, most of the headset is hidden away when people see you in the meeting. The mic quality just flat-out DESTROYS the mic on my old headset.
-- BOTTOM LINE --
If you have to be on calls or meetings throughout the week, I would HIGHLY recommend checking out the AfterShokz OpenComm headset. Since the headset sits just ahead of your ears, you can perfectly hear what's going on around you (which I appreciate while working from home and with my kids attending school virtually on their tablets, so they can ask me questions if/when they need help).
Just remember that this headset is designed for voice calls/meetings. Don't buy it if you're looking for something to listen to music with as well.

This headset is ok for normal use only... The audio quality is great my problem is that In loud situations for the fact that your ear canals are still wide open to receive sound sometimes if you're on the phone and in certain situations like I'm a truck driver if you have a loud truck in the background or if you're in a loud Warehouse it all comes through is one big mess of distorted audio
