Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Keep in mind these are NOT bone conduction headphones. They are more like having a mini speaker in front of each ear pointing back into your ear. I have true bone conduction (aftershokz) headphones and thought I was buying real bone conduction headphones because i didn’t read the description closely enough and they showed up on the list when I typed in “bone conduction headphones”. They didn’t fit my needs after trying them out anyway for a few days but they aren’t bad for the price depending on what you use them for. I gave them to my wife so she can listen to music and shows around the house and still be able to hear our infant and it works great for this. Would also be good in an office setting where you want to still be able to hear what’s going on around you. Not great for me for 2 main reasons: not waterproof enough. I walk a lot, often in light rain, and I sweat a lot. Also, because it’s not true bone conduction there is no way of blocking out noise without affecting sound quality. True bone conduction means you can put earplugs in to block out traffic and loud environmental sounds and it actually INCREASES the volume of whatever is playing on the headset. Because these are basically just mini speakers pointing towards your ear holes trying to block out environmental noise with earplugs also reduces the volume of the headset. So if you keep this in mind and use it accordingly I think its a good value. I DO think that the seller is intentionally trying to deceive buyers by having “conduction” as a main descriptor….it’s true that it is air conduction….which is what normal sound is. I suppose it could be as innocent as them wanting to show up in the same open ear style that people are looking for when the type in bone conduction, however the product description should have emphasized that fact upon cursory review of the item
