Shokz Open Move headphones have an exceptional sound!
Dislike that I have to replace often due to static interference while on the phone. Most conversations with anyone, tell me there's too much static interference, that they can't hear or understand what im saying.

These headsets work perfectly and I also wear hearing aids. Hearing aids, even the newest ones, do not do well with Bluetooth communications especially with phone calls. So these fit in front of my earlobes, as my hearing aids are in and over my ears. I can even wear sunglasses and all 3 of these coincide with each other.

Its mid. Nothing to brag about, nothing to really complain about. The sound isnt full, but i think thats more of how its transmitting sound and less of product quality. For the $60 i paid, it does its job well.

It’s not as comfortable as the pro version, this one will either fit you comfortably or won’t be comfortable, the material is much harder than the pro version so you do feel having it on your head

I enjoy the fit and the comfort of these headphones, but I’m not convinced that their “7th generation bone conduction technology” is any good at all. In fact, after using several pairs of similar headphones, I’m more and more convinced that “bone conduction” is mostly a marketing term that was made up in order to sell a different style of headphones.
The sound quality is nowhere near as good as earbuds, or over the ear headphones. Audio sounds flat and there is nearly no bass at all. The 3 built in equalizer options (Vocal Booster Mode, Earplug Mode, and Standard Mode) are not particularly helpful. But, despite bone conduction being a bit of a gimmick, the innovative off-ear fit does make them worthwhile for situations when the user wants to remain aware of ambient / surrounding noise.
Instead of sounding best when pressing on the bones of the upper jaw, the audio quality (and volume) most improves as you move the ear pieces closer to the ear canal (even without physical contact). When the volume is low, audio cannot be heard by those around you, but when the volume reaches 75%, noise is noticeable to those not wearing the headset. And, at 85% the vibrations create an uncomfortable tingling sensation.
The 6 hour battery life is sufficient and the USB-C charging port is a drastic improvement over Micro USB. The comfort and fit is where the AfterShokz shine. They hover over the back of the neck, but manage to stay in place through running, jumping, and even lying down during workouts. They can also be worn comfortably with glasses and hats.
...Perhaps one of the best features is their ability to connect with two devices simultaneously. While working from home (Due to COVID-19 restrictions) I have been able to have them connected to my laptop and also to my phone - while the off ear design still allows me to hear when my Family needs to communicate with me. (No more having to pull out my earbuds every time I think somebody needs to ask me a question.)
The location of the volume controls would be more convenient if they were on top of the right earpiece, but pressing the multi-use / track change button is much more comfortable that wireless Bluetooth earbuds (which have you press an earbud deep into your ear in order to change tracks or answer calls).
If audio quality is your primary focus, do not purchase these headphones.
If you love bass, these headphones are not for you.
If you like your music loud, these headphones will be a huge disappointment.
But, if you are primarily looking for convenient headphones with a comfortable fit that allow for situational awareness, these headphones will meet your needs.

Product was good .
Connectivity had trouble sound quality. Kept going back and forth between stereo and mono. Battery life over a period of time grown weak. Charging took longer held charge less each week.

Little bit small for people who have large heads, sound quality is bad by default, but depending on your device and apps can be made good quality. I have a Note10. A plus is it uses a USB c port so Android users can use their phone charging cable.

Excellent headphones. My go to headphones when I am cutting grass or pressure washing. Love that I can still use hearing protection while wearing the headphones.

The head set is too small for my head. Although the reception is very good they fit tightly on the tip or tragus part of my ear making them uncomfortable.

I was able to use these maybe thrice before they stopped working. They take forever to charge and go dead when not in use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
