Light, secure, open and sweatproof. First up, these are NOT high fidelity headphones in terms of sound quality, so don't expect the same boominating bass you'd get from circumaurals or the in-earpluggy sort. This is a SPORTS oriented headset and is ideal for my purposes in this respect. The bone-conduction drivers sit on the cheekbones, leaving ears completely open to the ambient environment. This has the advantage for me of not rendering a percussive hit with each footstep like I get with in-ear and some circumaural headphones will. Also with ear canals fully open, they do not fill up with sweat like used to happen with my in-ear 'phones on hot days. Sound quality is perfectly adequate for most music, and indeed is ideal for speech. However with ears wide open, sounds from the surroundings come in completely unattenuated so the headphones have more work to do. Turning these up full doesn't so much hurt the ears as make the cheeks tickle. A very odd sensation. Microphone quality is also very decent with good noise cancellation in noisy environments. Bluetooth connectivity to a single device is very simple. This headset can be connected to two devices simultaneously but this involves some "multi-point-pairing" gymnastics. Not massively more complicated though. Battery life is satisfactory so far. I spent a good seven hours listening to music, so I think the rated 6Hr talk time refers to using it as a phone headset where it is transmitting too which will doubtless slurp more battery. So it should be plenty enough for marathon distance on a single charge. As usual with these ad-hoc reviews, I have only been using the thing for about a week so I can't vouch for its longevity. So far, so good with this though. Read full review

Easily one of the best purchases i have made. I wear the headphones for both sport and work. They are ideal for the work environment, including working from home as i can use them as a headset to take calls, give presentations and attend online meetings whilst still being able to hear the environment around me. I wear them nearly all day and the battery generally lasts throughout. I have purchased a second pair just in case I want to use them in the evening for exercise as well although Im pretty certain that with some planning, and the short charge time, I could have managed their use without the additional purchase but Hey, I said they were good so well worth the investment. My wife has used them as well whilst out walking the dog alone and feels far safer being abel to hear the world around her with nothing blocking her ears. They are not going to give you the same level of base as in ear or over the ear headphones but these are for exercise and not for near concert experiences. I would highly recommend them to anyoneRead full review

The first pair I had lasted just over the two year warranty then the metal in the headband snapped. So it’s £45 a year The positives are that they are light, don’t fall off or move in light exercise, and they don’t itch your ears. But the biggest is you can still hear all around (though this makes them less suitable for environments with lots of noise) The negative is that the sound quality is mediocre. It’s not unpleasant or unusable but it’s not great. But then it wouldn’t be given how they work I liked them enough to buy a replacement pair

The arc is too large, which is why it is stuck in the collar of the coat. The drum's voice is weak. Long battery time! Easy and fast Bluetooth connection. Very useful. I love it. I did not regret the purchase. The button on the left could be a bit larger. Flexible and durable. 2 extra storage boxes.

Saw these in a running shop and thought that’s a good idea as long as it works. Tried the demo pair and they sounded good enough I started looking at where they were available. Bought these, they’re great, good sound quality and I can hold a conversation while listening to them (have to be careful with my volume though!)
