Poor Sound Quality + Poor Bass Reproduction + Annoying Vibrations
I did a lot of research online and these $160 bone conduction headphones were supposed to be the best ones on the market. I had high expectations for these, but was really disappointed with the poor sound quality. I tried a number of different angles and positions, but couldn’t get much of any bass out of them and when I did it sounded muffled, distorted, and vibrated annoyingly on my head. The highs and mids were mediocre at best and would compare the sound to a sub $10 pair of thrift store cheap earbuds. They were tinty and in my opinion weren’t very loud. I even tried using a graphic EQ to boost the bass and bring a greater fullness to the sound. Needless to say this was an exercise in futility since they just couldn’t reproduce an acceptable sound stage to suit my expectations. While these might be good for listening to podcasts or audiobooks while exercising, I honestly think you could get their entry level model and have a similar experience while saving quite a bit of cash. I wouldn’t recommend this model at this price-point to anyone. Don’t be fooled and make the same mistake I did. I plan on exercising the best aspect of these headphones = the company’s return policy.
