Will not hold a charge, I have to repair all the time

I found the fit and comfort of these open sport earbuds to be top notch - the way the wrap around the ear and sit on top, not in, the ear was really comfortable, and I can move around for most activities like runs, weight lifting, shooting hoops are practicing at the driving range without constantly playing with my ears. The battery life is more than adequate for going out, getting something done and then coming back and throwing them in their case. I wish that the sounds quality itself matched the comfort - volume was alarming inconsistent across apps and even uses - part of the point of open sport is that you can bike or run outside and not be oblivious to your surroundings but I had one occasion where even the lowest volume was painfully loud, nevermind providing me with ability to hear traffic. I also had a couple of occasions with annoying, borderline painful, stereoscopic oscillation where sounds would fade left to right and then back right to left. This happened on some jams that I've heard just fine without that oscillation when using over the ear headphones or other earbuds so I have to surmise it was an issue with the product, not the source audio. They are priced right, have good battery and are really comfortable - hopefully the issues that I experienced can be fixed with a firmware update and these become a great option but I didn't find them usable with my android phone as I used them the last week

I am a huge proponent of bone conduction technology and I run outside often and have found how much safer I feel when my ears are technically open to the world around me. I've been using another product for several years and while it's a bit pricier I always felt like it was worth the investment. In finding these, I was super excited about a product that would be a little easier on my wallet and I was fascinated by how the separate pieces may hold up on hot southern days. I was very impressed with how easily they connected to my phone and I did find that they needed to be charged up the first time in order to keep the sound balanced between the two pieces. I didn't know if I "trusted" them to stay on because I sweat a lot and I live in the south where the humidity makes everything 100x more damp and gnarly, in the summer. I was SUPER impressed that they stayed in place with little to no movement while I took them on their first 45 minute jaunt. They feel really light and you almost forget that you have anything on.

So let us start off with the positive that you can hear outside noise while wearing these and listening to moderate sound level. They seem fairly secure around the ears although I wouldn't feel totally secure with running and getting sweaty that they wouldn't slide but they are wrapped around the ear pretty well so it would likely stay. My biggest negativity is that they are so thick that after prolonged wear or an hour or so causes pain from the ear being pushed forward. I tried shifting positions to see if it could alleviate the pain but there doesn't seem to be any part of it that is thin enough to not dumbo your ears slightly if your ears are close to your head. This wouldn't be an issue for everyone but it was a significant issue for me. I was hoping these would be by new running headphones but since I run for longer than an hour the ear pain is too distracting. The concept is good and the sound is decent and the ability to hear things around you is a nice feature, but the execution of the design is flawed for tightly tucked ears.

I bought these looking for good sound and I got just that ! They are easy to use and off you go walking
