Q: Do these get in the way of bicycle helmet straps or sunglasses?
A: No they do not, im a biker and they work great with glasses and helmets straps. Well at least my helmet and straps.
Q: Can you adjust volume level from the earbud itself? Or do you have to adjust from your device?
A: YES! You can set the app to allow the bud to do that.
Q: Do these stay on when you run or exercise in them? Will sweat impact functionality?
A: Hello- Shokz here! The ergonomic and flexible ear hook perfectly wraps around different curves of ears, providing a soft and secure grip. You can walk, run, and even jump, and OpenFit stays in place. OpenFit features IP54 water resistance and is designed with a double-layer waterproof steel mesh and gauze for additional protection and enhanced sound performance. During your sweatiest of workout sessions, keep enjoying your music or audiobook worry-free. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thanks!
A: Yes, you can use them independently. I like to use one earphone while the other one charges.
Q: Are these suitable for side sleepers (ie, comfortable, stay in place)
A: Hi Tony- Shokz here! It's possible these may work out for a side sleeper. It depends on how well they fit the individual. We kindly ask that you check with BestBuy about their return policy, in case these are not a good fit for you. Please reach out to our Customer Happiness Team if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Q: Will these pair with your iwatch?
A: Yes. They will pair with watch and music simultaneously. Great feature through app.
A: I got these specifically because I have very narrow ear canals and regular earbuds are painful/don't stay in, so they are definitely good in that regard. As far as being able to hear around high noise level that's probably much more subjective. I haven't felt that they aren't loud enough, but because they don't create a seal around your ear you do still hear background noise and there's no sound cancelling functionality because of that
Q: How are they with glasses and traditional hearing aids?
A: I wear glasses. No problem. As I said, I forget I have them on. I also gave a set to my girlfriend (who loses earbuds often). She lives them.

Great pair of open ear headsets. Ive tried several openear design and have been eagerly waiting and apprpach that couples the earphpne design and the open ear design. This is a great start to that. With that being siad there are a few issues i noted but kverall these are great devices for outdoors and situational awareness while enjoying music or audio. Pros: - awareness of your surrounding - great sound quality for an open ear design - dont sit inside your ear canal, no vacuum suctions feel or sweatiness from this - dual ear piece can work independently - long battery life (approx. 7hrs each) - stability, over ear design give better piece of mind they wont fall off while active - no strap behind the head making it easier to lay down or rest your head while wearing Cons: - the case has issues turning off bluetooth at times. So the earbuds will sometimes connect while in the case. Ive noticed this mpstly when i have them in my pockets. Big flaw that needs to be addressed. - there are only 4 programmable touch buttons. They can be customized but are extremely limited. Expect to use the device theyre connect to for muting, there is no progrmmabble mute button -

I am the type of person who will always try new technology as it starts to come out. I have bought so many pairs of headphones, from Apple, Beats, Samsung, JBL, LG, Logitech, and even Shokz. My constant purchase has stemmed from not always liking the headphones, but they always did the job in that typical moment in time. Since starting to make some changes to my daily routine, I really needed some reliable headphones, but I did not want to spend so much money on new headphones when I have some that will "do the job." BUT, when I saw these headphones, they definitely caught my attention. I have always been a fan of the bone conduction headphones. However, because I know I have a big head and can admit it, the Shokz that wrapped around my head did not fit well. I felt restricted when I moved my head. These headphones have definitely changed the game. The comfort and stability of connection is absolutely amazing! The sound is phenomenal as well. I will also say this, don't expect too much of the bass to come from these. That is something I did set my expectations for, but they did exceed my expectations nevertheless. I currently have them paired with my Galaxy Watch 6 and they work great on there when I'm wanting to make a quick run or workout and don't want to take my phone with me. Ideally, I charge them every night in the case because I do use them all day. They give me the ability to listen to music very comfortable while still being able to engage in conversation with others around me. But if I want to not engage, I will just turn the volume up and to me they still sound comfortable and not overbearing. A good way to summarize my experience, think of like you are going grocery shopping at the store and you hear the store music just playing throughout the atore. Well that is what these headphones feel like honestly but like a private party in your head. Overall, these headphones are truly remarkable and I think they were definitely worth the investment for me!

So these are pretty great for 2 main things: 1. Comfort: I can wear these all day and not have any issues. The headphones I use for other reasons in the past would start to bother me after an hour either because they would be in my ear canals and cause discomfort, or they would be squeezing my head and cause headache. These don't do either of those things, so the comfort is 10/10 2. Battery Life: I don't actually know how long these last because I havent had one die on me while I was using it for over a day. I charge them in the case, and I change the case about once every few days. Havent had an issue in the 3 weeks Ive been using them. You arent going to get the best sound quality, and the controls are a bit weird to get used to for skipping tracks or pausing the music, but they definitely won't fall off even if you were running a marathon or climbing a mountain, which I use these for. They stay securely in place, which is nice. You stay aware of your surroundings which is a huge bonus for me personally, but you do sacrifice some sound quality because of it, but thats a worthy trade off in my opinion.
