Customers are saying

Customers find value in the product's excellent sound quality, comfortable fit, and long battery life, making them suitable for all-day wear. They also appreciate its lightweight design, clear connectivity for calls, and features that enhance awareness of surroundings and water resistance. However, some users note that the volume can be too quiet at lower settings, and the bass could use more emphasis.

    My wife loved these. They look small, but fit perfect. She can still hear me when something is important, but they are perfect for zoning everything else out. Fits perfect under beanies as well.

    Let me start by saying this the sound quality is good the only bad thing is it vibrates next to your ear and you get a vibration on a phone call or great to listen to music I wasn’t too crazy bottom so I had to return them but I would say they’re OK

    After 6 months sound quality decreased significantly, after 1 year and 1 month the device will not charge. O when in a call, others complain the microphone is not good.

    Great technology but the sound is so trash that I can't believe people bought these and rated them so high. I am not sure if I received a defective model but the sound is so distorted even at 60% volume and zero bass. I'll stick to in-ear headphones. Don't want to take another chance with a new pair.

    These are the best headphones I have ever had and I have had a lot of them. You can hear what ever you need to and still listen to your music or whatever. Fantastic

    These are excellent. We had the older version and this version is much clearer and loud. If you have the volume high enough, they almost become noise canceling.

    Got them for my wife and she never takes them off. Phone calls, podcasts, she even wears them on the hot tub. She asked if we could rank 6 stars instead of 5

    Too big, poor sound quality

    Although I hoped these bone conduction earphones would bypass a minor hearing loss in one ear (they didn’t), I would have kept them had the sound quality been comparable to my AirPods and they fit better. But even the smaller ones were not snug against my neck, and the sound quality was affected when I turned my head in any direction from straight ahead. Thus, they are really geared to sports activities such as running or walking, and definitly cannot be used to relax in a chair as the bar that goes around your head hits whatever you lean against and changes how they sit on your head and ears. And they definitely are meant for smaller heads.

      Hi there- Shokz here! We're sorry to hear this has been your experience. Having at least a 1-inch gap between your head and the headband is normal. There is also a phone setting that may resolve the low volume issue. -On the iPhone, go to Settings > Sound & Haptics > Headphone Safety, make sure that the Reduce Loud Audio Feature is switched off as this will affect the volume of the headphone. -On an Android, go to the Bluetooth Settings on the phone, find the headphone and make sure that the Absolute Volume feature is switched on for it. If you decide these are not a good fit for you, we kindly ask that you reach out to BestBuy's Customer Service directly to learn of their return policy. Thank you! AfterShokzCHT

    Overall good product but doesn’t come with a universal charger. Charger is a magnetic charger that will only work with that device so don’t lose it. Would be nice to keep the USB-C from its bigger brother
