Good at what they do, but didn't last
I am writing this review on the day the headphones died. 61 days after I got them. I was very careful with them, but they mysteriously died on my desk in the night. This fact is the most important part of the review. Aside from that terrible, fatal flaw I really liked them though. For listening to podcasts and audio books while working out they were great. You can hear the media fine, but also hear the world well enough to not get hit by a bus or anything. Battery life was great. Like maybe almost 12 hours. But none of this justifies them dying in only 2 months. A few downsides: because of their shape the only way to safely transport them is on your head. There's just no good way to pack them. Also, any pure tones are waaaay louder than anything else. So if you are listening to something at a comfortable volume on your phone and some kind of notification comes through and makes a beeping noise it will rattle your skull. I don't know why and no amount of tweaking setting on my phone fixed it. Several reviews say they cant be adjusted. Those people are wrong. The part holding the left and right ear pieces together is a piece of stiff wire. You bend it to adjust the fit of the headphones. Some people are saying these aren't bone conduction headphones but just tiny blutooth speakers. I don't know what they are expecting but its true that you can hear the headphones when they are off your head. The inducers aren't some magic device that will vibrate your skull but not the air. But when you put them on they sound like normal headphones because those vibrations are going into your head and not the air. People around you cant hear them unless they are turned up way too loud. Just like normal headphones.
