Love my shokz!!!
These are great. I have an iPhone 11 and somewhere along the line I have become allergic to silicone in my ears and so the traditional ear buds become a problem for me. At first I thought it may be Apple products, but trying other brands also irritated my skin. Being that I didn’t want to just wear over-the-ear headphones, I was left with very few option until I found Shokz. Although this particular brand doesn’t work seamlessly with my iPhone, I feel that the lack of controls I would normally get with Apple made audio products is acceptable due to how irritated my skin gets with silicone. Audio sounds great, very comfortable secure fitting. I use them for all areas of life just like any other pair of ear buds. Highly recommended for those with similar ailments. Very happy with this product.Show lessWatsonV76
Shokz vs Sony WF-1000XM4
I have used the Sonys for 2 years now. The Sonys are excellent for noise cancelling and sound. The only issue is I work in a way where I travel and walk with customers, having multiple conversations over the phone and in person. The Sonys noise cancelling is too good, with the amplification hearing tinny and difficult. Excellent head phones if you can or want to be isolated.
Shocks with the open ear design, truly work great for me. I can not only hear the phone and sound with out missing the conversations happening around me. I can also hear my surroundings, while listening to call or audiobooks.
When I am on site and working, I can actually hear things around me. This is an excellent safety feature for me being in construction.Show lessChillfctr
Almost
Pros: Sounds is way better than conductive types especially when driving etc where there background noise. Based on people I’m on the phone with, they indicate the background noise cancellation is impressive and they can hear me clearly even when I’m standing near loud music or loud machinery. Bass is impressive for open air concept. Nice to have the EQ to adjust for listening style/type. Stays on the ear securely. I can do all my ninja rolls without losing the earpiece. Can still hear my situational surroundings which is huge plus over traditional in-ear earphones.
Cons: Was not comfortable with my eyeglasses ( Yours may differ). Battery talk time can be better. Not sure if the app battery indicator is inaccurate or the battery is poor because my talk time was only about 50% of expected. Although open-air concept it covers just enough of the ear canal that I still get a little moisture buildup which is a bit annoying. They should also come up with a one-piece design connected with the cross-support across the back of your head for those not not needing separate one-piece functionality because it’s inconvenient having to juggle the individual pieces (I miss my conductive type that’s all one unit).Show lessrovermartian
